NGD PRS 594

I know I’m 10 plus years behind! Bought the 2020 blue on earlier this year. Everything a LP should be IMO. Pickup the killer burst yesterday. It’s a 2022. Neck profile feels different and they sound different which is a plus. Any other 594 players?

I’ve been eyeing those for years. I need to pull the trigger soon

I’ve been looking at Single Cuts for a better priced Les Paul type guitar but I’ve never liked the sound of a PRS. Is it as simple as changing the pickups or do they just inherently sound “under nourished”.

I have a couple of 594s. One DC and one SC. Both from 2017.

I had both a Singlecut and one of these. Only sold to fund my house and a trip. I will have another one day. They are amazing guitars

I find the opposite. The newer 594s have the 59/15 pickups and imo they are killer sounding. Doesn’t sound like a PRS to me.

I agree. I had a 2020 LP.Standard 50's at same time and they were very similar with the PRS just slightly hotter but otherwise almost indistinguishable.

I have had a few single cuts and a HB II. I think they are incredible guitars and they do not suffer as badly from the plastic, nasal tone that so many other do. Not sure what it is but, it is the PRS sound and fortunately the 594 has less, but still when a/b with e LP. The LP sounded beefier and chunkier every time. The 59/15 LT sounds super clear and I like them , but still, the LP always wins to my ears.

I’ve been looking at used S2 594 single cuts. Do you think if you put in some decent aftermarket pickups it would satisfy the LP tone jones?
