The Paul Reed Smith Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut in Swamp Ash with a Stained Figured Maple Neck, finished in Copperhead Burst, is a bold and refined take on one of PRS’s most revered vintage-inspired designs. Built through the exclusive Wood Library program, this instrument pairs exceptional tonewoods with elevated aesthetics, resulting in a guitar that feels both familiar and unmistakably special. The stunning quilt maple 10-Top brings depth and movement to the Copperhead Burst finish, while the swamp ash back adds a lively, resonant character that enhances clarity and articulation without sacrificing warmth.

At the heart of this McCarty 594 is its meticulously voiced vintage platform. The 24.594" scale length, 22-fret configuration, and Pattern Vintage neck shape work together to deliver a classic feel with effortless playability and a naturally elastic string response. The stained figured maple neck not only adds visual distinction but also contributes snap and definition, beautifully complementing the warmth of the swamp ash body. An ebony fretboard with binding provides a smooth, fast playing surface, adorned with elegant J Birds in gold mother-of-pearl accented by paua abalone centers for a luxurious, unmistakably PRS aesthetic.

Tonally, the McCarty 594 is celebrated for its expressive, old-school voice, and this Wood Library example is no exception. A matched set of PRS 57/08 pickups delivers rich, harmonically complex tones with exceptional clarity and dynamic sensitivity, capturing everything from articulate cleans to thick, vintage-flavored overdrive. The control layout features two volume controls and two push/pull tone controls, allowing for intuitive blending and coil-splitting options, while the 3-way toggle switch on the upper bout offers quick, performance-friendly pickup selection.

Premium hardware ensures rock-solid performance and resonance. The PRS 2-piece stoptail bridge, crafted from cast zinc, enhances sustain and tuning stability, while PRS Phase III vintage-style tuners provide smooth, precise tuning with classic aesthetics. Smoked black hardware adds a modern, understated contrast to the vibrant Orange Tiger finish, completing the guitar’s striking visual balance.

Housed in a black paisley hard case, the Paul Reed Smith Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut is an exceptional instrument for players who value vintage soul, modern craftsmanship, and standout visual appeal. From its carefully selected tonewoods to its nuanced electronics and refined feel, this guitar is built to inspire—equally at home on stage, in the studio, or as the centerpiece of a serious collection.
