Yes duuuuuude! Such a killer guitar but you're 100% right, it should have locking tuners and baffled me too why it didn't. Also, I liked the satin neck a lot. It felt to me like it was a painted neck that had been sanded to create the satin rather than a satin clear coat. I couldn't be sure but mine definitely showed light sanding marks. If it was, it worked really well. Stoked you're happy with it dude. Another great video! And this time round, there's no questioning what the riff was.

I recently received a PRS SE 594 as a gift from my family, and it’s fast become one of my favourite guitars. Gives me everything I wanted from a Les Paul, except it really likes to be in standard, e flat and drop D. It doesn’t really like C standard and gets a bit squishy with the short scale length. That’s one of the reasons I’ve been looking at this guitar - both because I’ve heard good things about its C standard tuning potential, and also because I’ve fully converted to PRS at this point lol. Nice review man 👌

I'm sure I'll pick one of these up at some stage. Love the looks and love the sound of those pickups. I did briefly own the Holcomb 7 string and I absolutely hated it, which is a shame as I typically really like PRS guitars and own many of them. Everything I normally enjoy about PRS guitars just didnt extend to that extended range guitar. Likely just a personal preference thing as I know others love that guitar. Anyway, great review as always.

This is probably the guitar in PRS's SE lineup I've been most curious about, and your review only has me more intrigued now! Those pickups do sound quite lovely clean, and great with gain too. My only hangups would be that I've gotten maybe a bit addicted to PRS's 25" scale lengths, to the point that 25.5" can feel a bit uncomfortable to me now (but I totally get why you'd prefer 25.5" for all these low drop tunings), and the lack of locking tuners. I like PRS's Wide Thin neck profile, but not as much as their Pattern Thin, which feels just sublime for me and my hand anatomy. What do you think about the fret size on this guitar?
@andrefludd

They feel like the standard jumbo frets. Plenty comfy. I just can’t imagine this guitar being less than 25.5 considering they always play in low tunings. Def give it a try before purchasing. But I do love it

You know it’s interesting you point out the trend of “extreme forearm bevels”. One wouldn’t think extra access would ever be an issue but I agree with your take on it.

Fair review. I have this guitar. I just wanted a PRS but a 25.5" scale and I wanted it for lower tuning stuff. I wish it had locking tuners. I can't believe they don't add them on alot of their guitars. we are litterally talking about a screw. the design is there, its in production, just shut the other production down and put it toward locking tuners. Anyway I haven't played the guitar alot but I've got enough experience to say its a good guitar with many people will be happy with but the neck is really thick compared to my wide fat PRS or my Pattern Thin custom 24. the pickups are articulate and compressed sounding which is great for this kind of guitar. the nut I think might be the problem when it comes to tuning. I was worried about the 20" radius but it really take minutes to get used too and bending is super easy. Oh and I want to add that I bought some locking tuners. cheap but effective locking tuners I have on other guitars but they don';t fit because the screw position is different on this particular PRS. I find that really offensive.

The lack of binding is specifically a "modern" metal guitar trend. More legacy-styled (especially 80s-styled) metal guitars often have binding, like B.C. Rich and Ibanez guitars. To your credit, you regularly specify in the video that features you're referring to are specific to modern guitars, so if I had to guess I'd say the omission in that instance was just a momentary oversight.

The flatter the radius, the more seamless the movement from string to string can be (IMO). It’s like running in a straight line vs running over a curve. Of course, plenty of people have played lightening fast on 9” radius guitars. But when Shawn Lane opted for a totally flat fretboard to reach ultimate speed, I think he was onto something.
