PRS Eddie's Guitars Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut Stained Neck/Ebony - Black Gold Burst

The PRS Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut Stained Neck/Ebony in Black Gold Burst is a striking blend of classic inspiration and modern refinement, built for players who demand both tonal excellence and visual impact. As part of an exclusive Wood Library run, this guitar features a hand-selected flame maple 10 Top, finished in a dramatic Black Gold Burst that highlights the depth and movement of the maple with bold contrast. The mahogany back provides a warm, resonant foundation, delivering rich lows, articulate mids, and singing sustain that define the McCarty 594 platform.

This model stands out with its figured maple neck, finished in a rich stain that enhances the natural beauty of the wood while adding snap and clarity to the guitar’s tonal response. Carved to PRS’s Pattern Vintage profile, the neck offers a substantial, comfortable feel reminiscent of late-’50s singlecut instruments. The 24.594” scale length and 22 frets contribute to a slightly slinkier string tension, making bends smooth and expressive while maintaining excellent note definition. The bound ebony fretboard provides a fast, glassy playing surface with a bright, immediate attack, adding articulation and precision to every note.

Aesthetically, this instrument is both elegant and bold. The fretboard is adorned with PRS J-Bird inlays featuring sparkle abalone outlines and vibrant paua abalone centers, delivering a refined, high-end look that complements the dramatic finish. Smoked black hardware ties the entire design together, offering a modern edge that pairs perfectly with the Black Gold Burst’s rich tonal palette.

At its core, this McCarty 594 Singlecut is powered by a pair of 57/08 pickups in the treble and bass positions, delivering a beautifully balanced, vintage-inspired voice. These pickups are known for their clarity, warmth, and dynamic sensitivity, offering everything from full, rounded cleans to rich, harmonically complex overdrive. The traditional control layout—two volume and two tone controls with a 3-way toggle switch on the upper bout—provides intuitive and precise tonal shaping, making this guitar incredibly versatile in any musical setting.

The PRS two-piece stoptail bridge, crafted from cast zinc, enhances sustain and resonance while ensuring solid intonation and reliability. PRS Phase III vintage-style tuners provide smooth, accurate tuning stability, completing a hardware package built for consistent, high-level performance. A “McCarty 594” truss rod cover adds a subtle nod to the model’s heritage-inspired roots.

Housed in a premium black paisley hard case, the PRS Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut Stained Neck/Ebony in Black Gold Burst is a true collector-grade instrument. It offers a perfect fusion of classic tone, modern playability, and stunning aesthetics—crafted for players who expect nothing but the best.
