2024PRS Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut - Bonni Pink/Natural

This isn't your standard single-cut; it is a stunning example of what happens when PRS opens up their prestigious Wood Library. This McCarty 594 is a visual and sonic masterpiece, featuring a jaw-dropping "10 Top" Quilted Maple cap finished in a vibrant Bonni Pink that demands attention. However, the true magic lies in the unique tonewood combination selected for this run. Instead of traditional mahogany, this guitar pairs that maple top with a resonant Swamp Ash body and a Figured Maple neck. This rare combination adds a distinct snap, articulation, and "air" to the notes, offering a livelier dynamic response while maintaining the warmth you expect from a short-scale instrument.

Under the hood, this guitar is powered by the acclaimed 58/15 LT (Low Turn) pickups. These pickups are the result of Paul Reed Smith’s relentless pursuit of the perfect vintage PAF tone, delivering exceptional clarity and a focused midrange that sounds like a golden-era record come to life. They are incredibly touch-sensitive—cleaning up beautifully when you roll back the volume—and feature push/pull coil taps for genuine, glassy single-coil textures. It is the kind of sonic versatility that has made the 594 a favorite of artists like John Mayer, who relies on its ability to bridge the gap between vintage soul and modern reliability.

Paying homage to Ted McCarty, the legendary executive who mentored Paul, this instrument feels like an old friend the moment you pick it up. The Pattern Vintage neck profile shares the same measurements of width and depth as some of the most coveted '50s necks, but with an asymmetrical carve that fits the hand perfectly. Combined with the 24.594” scale length, string tension feels slinky and bends are effortless. If you are looking for an heirloom-quality instrument that offers a fresh twist on a classic formula, this Wood Library McCarty 594 is in a league of its own.
