The Paul Reed Smith Private Stock #12138 McCarty 594 Singlecut in Charcoal Burst is a masterfully crafted instrument that represents the absolute pinnacle of PRS design, tone, and artistry. Built through the Private Stock program, this guitar is a true one-of-one creation, combining vintage-inspired performance with modern refinement and extraordinary attention to detail. Every element—from wood selection to finish work—has been carefully chosen to deliver a visually striking and sonically powerful instrument worthy of the most discerning player or collector.

At its core, this Singlecut McCarty 594 features a stunning Curly Maple top with elegant Ebony binding, finished in a dramatic Charcoal Burst that highlights the depth and movement of the figured maple. The back is crafted from Swamp Ash and finished in a White Wash with black grain filler, offering a beautiful contrast while enhancing resonance and clarity. A Curly Maple neck carved to PRS’s revered Pattern Vintage profile provides a substantial yet comfortable feel, perfectly suited for expressive playing and classic tones.

The Ziricote fingerboard, bound in Ebony, adds a rich visual and tonal character, accented by White Mother of Pearl “J” bird inlays with Curly Maple centers—a Private Stock-exclusive detail that elevates the instrument’s elegance. Mother of Pearl side dots ensure clean visibility, while the matching Ziricote headstock veneer, also bound in Ebony, features a White Mother of Pearl Private Stock “J” Eagle inlay with a Curly Maple center, reinforcing the cohesive, luxurious aesthetic from headstock to body.

Finished in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar resonates freely while showcasing the natural beauty of its premium tonewoods. The tonal foundation is driven by a pair of PRS 57/08 pickups in the bass and treble positions, delivering warm, articulate vintage-inspired tones with exceptional clarity and dynamic response. The electronics layout includes two volume controls, two push/pull tone controls for coil-splitting versatility, and a classic 3-way toggle, making this instrument equally at home in traditional and modern tonal territories.

Smoked Black hardware completes the refined look, including a PRS Gen III tremolo, PRS Phase III locking tuners with Ebony buttons, and a bone nut for enhanced tuning stability and sustain. Thoughtful details such as Ebony pickup rings, Swamp Ash backplates, clear lampshade control knobs, and a Ziricote truss rod cover further underscore the meticulous craftsmanship. Set up with PRS Signature .010 strings, this guitar arrives ready to perform at the highest level.

Housed in a Private Stock Black Paisley case, the Paul Reed Smith Private Stock #12138 McCarty 594 Singlecut is more than an instrument—it is a statement of artistry, tone, and exclusivity. With its high-gloss nitro finish, premium tonewoods, elegant inlays, smoked black hardware, and legendary 57/08 pickups, this guitar stands as a breathtaking example of what PRS Private Stock is capable of achieving.
