2024 PRS Wood Library 509 - Faded Blue Jean with Black Back

The PRS Wood Library 509 is an absolute masterpiece of modern guitar engineering, pushing the boundaries of what a single instrument can achieve. At its core, this guitar is a sonic chameleon, utilizing an innovative five-pickup configuration that gives you access to nine distinct, highly musical tones. By grouping the outside four single-coils into pairs, PRS has created a system where you can seamlessly transition from fat, singing humbucker sustain to crisp, glassy single-coil bite. Coupled with an intuitive 5-way blade switch and two mini-toggle coil-tap switches, this guitar lets you sculpt your perfect frequency on the fly, making it an ultimate weapon for both studio session players and live performers.

Crafted through the elite PRS Wood Library program, this specific 509 features a breathtaking Quilted Maple 10-Top finished in an elegant Faded Blue Jean, beautifully contrasted by a sleek black back. The mahogany body delivers that classic, warm resonance and sustain that Paul Reed Smith guitars are legendary for, while the striking rosewood neck paired with an ebony fretboard adds an incredible layer of articulation, snappy response, and luxurious playability. It’s a tonewood cocktail that honors the rich legacy of PRS craftsmanship while offering a completely modern playing experience.

From fusion masters to rock royalty, players have long relied on the versatility of PRS instruments to define their sound. Whether you are channeling the expressive, soaring lines of Carlos Santana or the meticulous tonal architecture of John Mayer, the 509 provides the ultimate canvas. It’s not just a guitar; it’s a lifetime investment in tone, built for players who refuse to compromise.
