I think guitarguitar have a pale blue (Ice Blue Fire Mist??) S2 Standard 24 for 749 at the moment, might be worth a look....
The Satin Vela is a great guitar. I got one earlier this year.
Depends on how confident you are in picking replacement pickups as well.
I’ll be honest - with bass I’m less experienced so wanted to buy the whole package, as I had no idea if changing pickups would get me what I wanted. And actually I did try some aftermarket stuff which I then sold as it didn’t improve on what I had.
With guitar none of my guitars have stock pickups anymore. I’ve got a small stash of my favourites (Gibson and EMG, the internets least favourite brands lol) and rotate them in and out as necessary.
I concur, the old pickups ruined the guitar for me. The 58/15LT in the 594 is amazing, and the main reason I got a Wood Library CU22, because they had them in it. I would even say that they are better than the pups they are supposed to mimic; the neck pup is not dark or woofy, just very well balanced. The bridge is the best PAF style I've ever heard.
Standard - Rebel Yells
Artist II - Mules
EG4 - Crawler/Nantucket/Nantucket
Singlecut - Abraxas
ME II - VHII
I also have a Warmoth PRS style with a rosewood neck with a Miracle Man set, but it doesn't get used as much as the others now (though it has a built in Roland Synth pickup for other stuff).
I have an early 80's BC Rich Mockingbird with Cold Sweats. It can pretty much nail any 80's sound.
Nowt!
I'd dearly love to love a Gibson as I think they also look great but PRS ergonomics suit me so much better.
