This is the story – A few months ago, PRS grabbed Paul Reed Smith and asked him if he wanted to try something new. They showed him an app called Periscope. Using the app, they were able to live stream a broadcast of Paul inside his wood vault – a special section of the shop where they keep our finest Private Stock grade woods. During that broadcast, Paul selected the woods for what he has now affectionately dubbed “The Periscope Guitar.”

More info about the 594

At the PRS Guitars European event earlier this year we ordered some absolutely stunning guitars including these beautiful 594’s. When this model was originally released, and endorsed by John Mayer, it became an instant hit and the original Private Stock Limited Run sold out immediately. We have reordered the same spec with Madagascar Rosewood fingerboards. We can’t believe how amazing they are, the Private Stock team have done an amazing job with these.

This is the same model that John Mayer has used on his latest recordings!

“The 594 is the best new guitar I’ve played in years. It has a vintage heart and soul but without the technical limitations that usually come along with an old instrument. What good is an old guitar if you can’t get all that feel out of the upper frets, or the intonation is off? To hear that old PAF sound but be able to articulate the notes in a way that only modern manufacturing could allow is so exciting. This one’s going all over my new record, because it sits so nicely between all of the sonic identities we all know and love. And it plays like a dream.” – John Mayer

There are several details that PRS has incorporated into the 594’s design that contribute to the guitar’s tone and feel, including:

A 24.594” scale length, just slightly longer than 24.5” and where the model gets its name

“58/15 LT” pickups. LT meaning low turns, which give this guitar a sweet lower output tone

2 volume and 2 push/pull tone controls positioned so players can roll off both volume knobs at the same time, and with the added versatility of coil splits for more tonal options

A new Pattern Vintage neck carve. This neck carve shares the same width measurements as PRS’s Pattern neck, but is slightly thicker front to back and features an asymmetrical carve with a little less meat on the treble side, a little more on the bass side of the neck.

Tweaked Phase III tuners that have an added set screw to pull the tuner’s shaft, gear, and worm together, but with the tuner button taken out of play, to promote tone transfer from the string directly into the guitar itself with as little energy as possible being detracted.

Twenty six of these instruments will be made for February 2016, commemorating Private Stock’s 20th Anniversary. Full specifications can be found on the next page.
