Wanna trade a PRS 594 with 15/58 LTs for a 594 with soapbars?

I have a mint PRS 594 with 15/58 LT pickups - but I really want to have the version with soapbar pickups. Anyone want to trade?

Pretty rare in soapbar format but MusicStreet have a (weighty) used SC in stock and GAK have a doublecut, if you've not already spotted them.

Marks a gent as well.

already talked to Musicstreet, but they wanted to me to pay quite a substantial amount of money in addition to my guitar - even though both guitars are identical in terms of condition. They have a business to run. This is why I was hoping that someone might have something privately.

What about the humbucker sized P90’s as an option and keep the guitar ?

Any photos of your 594 ?

I think I'm just gonna change the pickups. It seems that PRS designed a set of pickups which are great for cleans, but really don't cut the mustard if you want a bit of dirt in the mix. I have a set of SD alnico's lying around, so I'll probably drop those in and see what happens. Either that or I put a HB-sized humbucker in there. The guitar itself is an absolute work of art - I seem to be able to play faster and cleaner on it than on any of my other guitars, just because of the accuracy of the fretwork and the design of the neck. It's just a pity that the pickups don't seem to match the sound I want.
