Was there ever a 594 with a trem?

PRS made a 594 scale guitar with a Trem that was released for the 20th Anniversary of the Private Stock program, in a Private Stock run in late 2015/early 2016, and I have one. The scale length was marketed at the time as 24.6", but it's really the first PRS model produced with a 24.594 scale length, per my dealer.
It has a locking Gen III trem (made for private stock only), Madagascar rosewood fretboard, a slightly thicker slab of mahogany and slightly thinner slab for its maple cap, two Paul's Guitar 408 pickups and a Narrowfield middle pickup, and some nice looking accoutrements.
It came in only two finishes, Northern Lights, and a shade of orange. It's the most beautiful sounding PRS I have, and does an awful lot of things, including 'quack' due to the middle pickup. They didn't make very many, and they're not that easy to find, but they're wonderful.

I think I saw ONE, and it was a private stock. There has not been a production model to my knowledge.

I concur with this suggestion: if you can practically tell the difference between 24.5" and 24.6" (24.594 rounded up) then you are a better player than me. Well, that is probably true anyway...
However, if you are looking for all of the features that comprise a 594 model, such as neck profile, pickups, etc, then you are out of luck as far as regular core "production models" are concerned - there are only PSs with that spec and a trem.

Authorities said.....best leave it.....unsolved

Makes guitar faces
There’s definitely some private stock 594 trems out there that were made. Maybe a wood library run at one point before the crackdown on options, but I could be remembering wrong.

Just ok? Bummer. It's one of those guitars I've never had a chance to play in real life.
Truth be told, should probbaly skip the McTrem idea and get a Santana or Westie to compliment the KL33. There you go again leading the horse to water! Lol
Here ya go:
Moderate breakup in verses and a bit more dirty in the short solo and little lick at the end, with PRS HXDA amp. Americana type piece:
Very slow (admittedly boring), clean figure in contemplative electronic piece, with Mesa Lone Star amp, comes in a bit after the piano:

David moved it on. The guy who bought it from him moved it on. Maybe there were a couple other dudes between them and the guy that let me play it moved it on. The dude who I found to buy it from my guy moved it on. You’re not missing anything IMO.
Dunno if there’s a guitar better than a KL33. It’s boring to be “done” fer sure, but if you’re feeling your KL… it’s unnecessary to try and find something else.

I have been thinking for a while now about modifying a Les Trem for a 594.

Helluva hoe.. appreciate looking out for a homie.
I think this is the first year I can remember in a long time I haven't bought a guitar. It's been alright too..still look, but I can't count how many times I've almost pulled the trigger just to ask myself why? KL is one of the big reasons for that, especially since I dropped a 5909 in it. Hot damn!
I did pickup an alder CE22 for a member that's been cool enough to let me test drive like a long term rental.
