This might be a good place to find at least a couple of those answers...

Answers the xlr question but not the others.
Obviously it was thinking about the W597 that got me thinking about Jason.

The neck finish is hand rubbed urethane which I would think is glossy (but I'm not positive about that).

Alright, so it answers two of the questions.
But not the third.
Which is obviously what I meant to ask.

Hand rubbed urethane finish is a satin finish, no real gloss to speak of, you polish it with wood paste wax and buff it. It's nice and smoothe but has a different feel than a gloss finished neck. My '07 Legend 1717 has the rubbed neck. I guess the w597 would be similar if it has the hand rubbed urethane neck.

I say you can't be sure if it has XLR unless you know what preamp it has. Most had the Optima which, of course, has XLR; however, some had Op24+C. In that case, 1/4" out only. Only one like this that I remember was a ME model, but there may have been others.

Sorry to be on topic.

Of course Op50 has XLR. So would OpPro.

Of course having an OpPro or Op50 doesn't mean the guitar has XLR, just that it's capable.

I have a W597
OP50 with XLR & 1/4" outs
The neck is a satin finish.
I think it's a 5 piece?
It's not a V shape
It's a great guitar with lots of deep tone.
What ever happened to Jason?

My 591 is similar to the 597 with single sound hole as opposed to multi. It has a hand rubbed neck that I saw described somewhere as "vintage v". Vintage or not, it is a "v" and I like it. The Optima preamp has xlr.

Actually, its the first one that wasn't answered.

And before you start to give me lip, remember I know where YOU live.

Never has a thread worked so hard to stay OnTopic.

My SMT had a "satin", shallow "C" neck with XLR and Optima.

If they make olive oil out of olives, and fish oil out of fish, what do they make baby oil out of?

OK about olive oil. Virgin olive oil comes from olives that are squeezed by nuns.
