Description
PRS Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut Quilted Maple - Burnt Maple Leaf
Here at Palen Music Center, we always get a little extra excitement when a Wood Library case lands on the bench, and this McCarty 594 Singlecut is a perfect example of why. This isn't just a standard spec sheet; it is a curated collection of tonewoods designed to offer a unique sonic signature and a breathtaking aesthetic. While traditional singlecuts rely on mahogany, this build features a resonant Swamp Ash body, providing a sweet, airy, and articulate foundation that lets the notes breathe. This is capped with a stunning Wood Library Quilted Maple top in a Burnt Maple Leaf finish that looks like it’s glowing from the inside out. Perhaps the most tactile feature is the solid Rosewood neck—an upgrade that offers an incredibly smooth, natural feel in the hand that satin finishes just can't replicate.
The McCarty 594 is named after the legendary Ted McCarty—mentor to Paul Reed Smith and a titan of the golden era of guitar building. It is designed to capture the soul of those holy grail vintage instruments while utilizing modern precision. The 24.594” scale length is slightly shorter, making string bends effortless and providing that slinky, vintage tension. Paired with the Pattern Vintage neck profile, which shares measurements with some of the most coveted late-50s necks, this guitar feels like an old friend the moment you pick it up.
Tonally, this instrument is a powerhouse. Equipped with vintage-voiced humbuckers, it delivers the warmth and growl you expect from a singlecut, but with exceptional clarity thanks to the Swamp Ash and Ebony fretboard combination. The layout features two volume and two push/pull tone controls, allowing you to split the coils for convincing single-coil spank. Whether you are chasing the thick, sustaining lead tones of players like Carlos Santana or the intricate chordal work of modern players, this Wood Library McCarty 594 offers a massive palette of sounds in a package that is undeniably beautiful.
