Happy Belated New Guitar Day!
I'd been holding off on posting this one, as I wasn't sure if I was going to keep it or not. I've got it listed locally, just to see if anyone local might want it more than I do but it's really growing on me. I'm going to have to replace the 58/15 pickups if I do keep it. I'm not a fan of those pickups at all and I've got a bridge/neck set of Tonenerd Whiskeys that will likely find their way into this guitar soon if it hangs around much longer. I've already bought a set of black PRS pickup rings, just in case but I didn't think about getting a black switch tip for it. Doh!!
I bought a 594 a few years back, but couldn't get along with the vintage pattern neck profile, and I hated the pickups (again 58/15's) so it went back to GC. I got this one offered on that trade for the Cornford, figuring it would be a heck of a lot easier to ship than a half stack if I decided to move it. The neck profile on this one isn't as baseball bat-ish is the first 594 I had, but the 58/15 pickups still aren't my cup of tea. I thought these might be better being the newer TCI "tuned" pickups, but nope... not feeling them.
Special ordered in "Obsidian" finish that looks kind of an polished olive drab/charcoal/black stain that almost reminds me of camo.. Crazy figured top on this one, really surprised this top wasn't save for an Artist or Wood Library guitar. It's super resonant and just sings unplugged.
