PRS Eddie's Guitars Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut Swamp Ash/Figured Maple Neck - Black Gold Burst

The Paul Reed Smith Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut in Black Gold Burst is a perfect example of what happens when Paul Reed Smith’s lifelong obsession with tone, feel, and craftsmanship is allowed to run without compromise. Paul built the McCarty 594 platform to capture the soul of vintage singlecut guitars while correcting everything that held them back, and this Wood Library edition pushes that idea even further with rare tonewoods and Eddie’s own hand selected specs.

At the heart of this guitar is a stunning Quilt Maple 10 Top paired with a Swamp Ash back, delivering a blend of piano like clarity, fast transient response, and airy low end that you simply do not get from mahogany. The Black Gold Burst finish highlights every ripple of the quilt while giving the guitar a deep, sophisticated glow that looks just as serious as it sounds. At 7 lbs 14 oz, it is beautifully balanced and lively in the hands.

The stained figured maple neck adds snap and articulation while preserving the warmth and fullness that the McCarty 594 is known for. The 24.594 inch scale length and Pattern Vintage neck profile give you that slinky, broken in feel that makes big chords bloom and lead lines sing. The ebony fretboard with binding adds precision and elegance, while the J Birds in gold mother of pearl with paua abalone centers give this guitar a distinctly luxurious PRS identity.

Tone comes from a pair of PRS 57/08 pickups, which are voiced to deliver classic late 50s humbucker character with exceptional clarity and touch sensitivity. They are rich, open, and dynamic, capable of everything from thick, woody blues to soaring classic rock. 

The PRS two piece cast zinc stoptail bridge maximizes sustain and tuning stability, while the Phase III vintage style tuners and smoked black hardware complete the look with understated class and modern reliability. Even the truss rod cover proudly reads “McCarty 594,” a nod to the vintage inspired heart of this instrument.

This guitar ships in a Black Paisley hard case. Every detail, from the hand selected woods to the flawless finish and meticulous setup, reflects Paul Reed Smith’s relentless pursuit of building the finest electric guitars in the world.

If you want a singlecut that blends vintage soul, modern precision, and the rare tonewood magic of Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library, this McCarty 594 stands in a class of its own.
