PRS Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut Flame Maple - Black Gold Burst

Step into a world of sonic excellence with this PRS Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut—a true masterpiece that has just arrived at Palen Music Center. This isn't just any guitar; it's a testament to PRS's dedication to exquisite craftsmanship, built from hand-selected, premium Wood Library stock. The visual star of the show is the breathtaking Flame Maple top, finished in the timeless Black Gold Burst. This finish highlights the three-dimensional figuring of the wood, perfectly complementing the resonant Swamp Ash body. This unique body wood choice sets this instrument apart from the traditional mahogany builds, offering a distinct, vibrant character with a scooped midrange and sweet, airy highs. The upgrades continue with a stunning Flame Maple neck, adding a snappy, articulate attack that pairs beautifully with the ash body for exceptional note separation.

Plug in and prepare to be amazed by the versatility of the PRS McCarty III humbuckers. These TCI-tuned pickups are the heart of this beast, delivering everything from warm, fat, vintage-inspired humbucker tones to crisp, shimmering single-coil sounds thanks to the individual push/pull tone controls for coil-splitting on each pickup. The Pattern Vintage neck profile feels substantial yet comfortable, mimicking the asymmetrical wear pattern of vintage instruments. This McCarty 594 Singlecut embodies a perfect blend of vintage soul—inspired by the guitars Paul Reed Smith studied with legendary luthier Ted McCarty—and modern playability. Players like John Mayer recognize the legacy and exceptional nature of this instrument, and with this custom combination of a Swamp Ash body, Maple neck, and McCarty III pickups, it offers a specific tonal clarity and aesthetic beauty reserved for the finest Wood Library examples.
