The Paul Reed Smith Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut in Charcoal Blue Burst is an exceptional instrument crafted for players who demand heirloom-grade tonewoods, impeccable aesthetics, and the unmistakable feel of PRS’ finest builds. As part of Eddie’s Guitars’ exclusive Wood Library collection, this model brings together rare materials and meticulous craftsmanship, resulting in a guitar that is as inspiring to look at as it is to play.

At first glance, the Flame Maple 10 Top sets the stage with striking dimensionality, enhanced beautifully by the Charcoal Blue Burst finish that seems to shift and deepen under the light. This carved top sits over a resonant Mahogany back, a classic combination that gives the McCarty 594 series its authoritative midrange and rich harmonic depth. The 24.594" scale length, a hallmark of the McCarty 594 design, offers an immediately comfortable feel beneath the fingers, blending vintage responsiveness with modern precision.

One of the true highlights of this Wood Library build is its neck and fretboard pairing. The East Indian Rosewood neck provides a smooth, organic playing experience with remarkable stability and warmth. Capping it is a luxurious Brazilian Rosewood fretboard with binding, a premium tonewood chosen for its exceptional clarity and tactile elegance. The neck is carved into PRS’ Pattern Vintage shape—a refined, slightly beefier profile that feels substantial yet effortless in the hand. MOP (Mother of Pearl) inlays with Green Select Abalone accents adorn the fretboard, giving the instrument a refined, custom aesthetic that perfectly complements its tonal pedigree.

Hardware choices on this McCarty 594 are equally elevated. A PRS 2-Piece Stoptail bridge made from cast zinc ensures stellar intonation and sustain, while PRS Phase III Vintage Style tuners deliver smooth, precise tuning stability. The Smoked Black hardware ties the guitar’s visual elements together with a bold, modern edge. At the headstock, the “McCarty 594” truss rod cover pays tribute to the lineage of Ted McCarty and the classic tones that inspired this model.

Electronics are centered around a pair of PRS 57/08 pickups, revered for their articulate vintage character, dynamic response, and sweet top end. These pickups shine in both clean and driven settings, offering warm lows, clear mids, and singing highs. With two volume controls, two tone controls, and a 3-way toggle switch mounted on the upper bout, players have immediate access to a wide range of tonal textures—from articulate single-pickup voicing to perfectly blended dual-pickup warmth.

The PRS Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut Brazilian/Rosewood Neck in Charcoal Blue Burst is a masterclass in boutique craftsmanship. From its rare tonewoods to its refined appointments and soulful voice, this instrument stands as a true work of art—built not just for collectors, but for players who want to experience the pinnacle of PRS performance.
