PRS Wood Library McCarty 594 Tremolo 10-Top - Charcoal

The PRS McCarty 594 Tremolo in Charcoal is a masterclass in vintage-inspired tone, modern playability, and pure visual drama. Built around a hand-selected 10-Top flame maple cap resting atop a resonant mahogany body, this Wood Library model delivers an incredible blend of rich warmth, articulate top-end clarity, and effortless sustain. Named in honor of Ted McCarty—the legendary guitar pioneer who mentored Paul Reed Smith—this family of instruments bridges the gap between classic gold-era double-cut design and contemporary precision. Guitar icons from John Mayer to David Grissom have long championed the McCarty family for its unmatched responsiveness and expressive voice.

Under the hood, a matched set of McCarty III humbuckers provides rich, dynamic vintage tone with remarkable note definition. Thanks to dual volume controls and push/pull tone controls for individual coil splitting, you can easily access an expansive tonal palette ranging from throaty single-coil bite to thick, soaring humbucker crunch. The slightly shorter 24.594” scale length coupled with the Pattern Vintage neck profile offers a natural, broken-in feel across all 22 frets, while the PRS Gen III tremolo bridge allows for ultra-smooth pitch bends while maintaining pristine tuning stability.
