PRS Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut Quilted Maple - Charcoal Cherry Burst

This isn't just a guitar; it is a masterclass in luthiery that bridges the gap between the golden era of vintage single-cuts and modern precision. As a Wood Library selection, this McCarty 594 features a timber combination you won't find on standard Core models. The showstopper is undoubtedly the Quilted Maple top, boasting a depth of figure that looks like you could dive right into it. Uniquely, this build swaps the traditional mahogany body for Swamp Ash. This choice injects a breath of air and articulation into the tone, providing a snappy high-end response that perfectly complements the warmth of the single-cut design. The Flame Maple neck and Ebony fretboard finish off an aesthetic package that is nothing short of breathtaking.

Named after Ted McCarty, the pioneer who mentored Paul Reed Smith and defined the electric guitar in the 1950s, the 594 is designed to capture the "holy grail" humbucking tone. The heart of this beast lies in its 24.594-inch scale length, which offers a slightly looser string tension for effortless bending and a "slinky" feel that vintage enthusiasts adore. It is loaded with PRS McCarty III humbuckers, voiced to deliver that thick, creamy sustain while retaining exceptional clarity when you roll back the volume. Whether you are chasing the ghostly blues tones of John Mayer or the rock grit of the 70s, the Pattern Vintage neck profile fills the hand comfortably, making it feel like an old friend from the moment you pick it up.
