Why the 594?

[ViperDoc]

LOL. I did my math wrong. I mistakenly put 25.594 inches instead of 24.594. WOW. So 25.594 is 650 mm. 24.594 is 624.68 or 625 mm. Which feels perfect in the hands and f&cking rocks a$$. CORRECTED.

 

[ViperDoc]

Sorry, but not exactly:

24.594 in x 25.4 = 624.6876 mm
650mm / 25.4 = 25.5905511811 in

You are correct. I screwed that pooch. See above.

No worries. Satellites have missed Mars and commercial jets have crashed from incorrect measurements & conversions.

By the way, looking at your beautiful avatar, I should have done one like that but actually I used my Eastman guitars instead.

I remember years ago when those pictures first surfaced. @ViperDoc were you the one that originally posted those?

If you're talking about posting them on the web, I wish. DROOL.

That is one gorgeous lady, and guitar. I wonder if the dude that took them is still with her...assuming it was her guy that took them.

The scale being 625mm and what the old Les Pauls were is cool. I like the 594 over the standard McCarty because of the control layout.
The toggle belongs up near the neck

Guilty as charged, but after comparing a 59 reissue Les Paul to a 594 McCarty SE, the major difference between the two (besides the LP being almost 2 pounds heavier) is a smoother sound with the McCarty. The Les Paul has that classic rock sound and is more in your face, which is great when you want or need it. The McC is probably more versatile and modern sounding. I decided I needed both!

I also have both and my take is identical to yours.. PRS "more polite" less "FU" rock and the natural SC splits are very useful when you need a strat neck tone for a song. My 2012 LP also has splits but they are "p90'ish" sound vs "SC'ish" sound of the 594..swings and roundabouts
