The Paul Reed Smith Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library Studio – Swamp Ash/Brazilian in Livingston Lemondrop is an exceptional example of PRS artistry, tonal sophistication, and exclusive Wood Library craftsmanship. Built specifically for Eddie’s Guitars, this Studio model showcases a finely curated selection of tonewoods and custom appointments that elevate it beyond even PRS’s already high standards. The Livingston Lemon Drop finish brings the entire instrument to life—bright, dimensional, and incredibly striking—perfectly accentuating the deep figuring of its premium maple top.

At its core, this guitar pairs a resonant Swamp Ash back with a stunning Maple Ten Top. The ash adds airy resonance and clarity, while the maple top’s flame and carve shine beautifully beneath the Lemon Drop hue. A stained figured maple neck continues the visual theme, complementing the top’s character and providing a snappy, articulate tonal foundation. The color and grain work together to create a refined, vintage-flavored aesthetic with modern precision.

Comfort and playability are central to this Wood Library build. The neck features PRS’s celebrated Pattern carve—substantial, ergonomic, and effortlessly playable. With a 7/8" depth at the 1/2 fret and 61/64" at the 12 1/2 fret, the feel is solid yet not bulky. A 1 11/16" nut width, 2 1/4" width at the body, and 10" radius provide excellent balance for both chord work and expressive bends across all 22 frets on the 25" scale. The Brazilian Rosewood fretboard, a tonewood prized for its richness and luxurious touch, adds warmth, sustain, and an unmistakable premium feel. Completing the board are the exclusive Eddie’s Wood Library J-Birds, exquisitely crafted with Gold MOP outlines and Paua centers—a signature visual that sets these builds apart.

PRS equips this instrument with top-tier hardware to ensure flawless performance. The Gen III Patented Tremolo offers exceptional tuning stability and smooth, controllable vibrato, while Phase III Locking Tuners with Wing Buttons make string changes fast and secure. The entire guitar is dressed in Smoked Black hardware, adding a sleek, modern edge to the classic Lemon Drop aesthetic.

Tonally, the Studio configuration is one of PRS’s most versatile and expressive. At the bridge, the McCarty III humbucker delivers rich, vintage-inspired character—punchy, articulate, and incredibly dynamic. In the neck and middle positions, a pair of PRS Narrowfield pickups provide a unique blend of single-coil clarity and humbucker fullness, offering tight focus, excellent definition, and reduced noise. With a Volume, Push/Pull Tone Control, and a 5-Way Blade Switch, players can access a wide spectrum of tones suitable for everything from shimmering cleans and bluesy nuance to modern rock punch and fusion precision.

This exquisite Wood Library Studio includes a Hard Black Paisley Case, ensuring both protection and an elegant presentation that matches the guitar’s premium nature.

Altogether, the PRS Eddie’s Guitars Wood Library Studio in Livingston Lemon Drop is a remarkable instrument—visually stunning, sonically adaptable, and crafted with exceptional attention to detail. It is a guitar made for players who demand expressive range and collectors who appreciate rare materials and exclusive custom appointments, all wrapped in one unforgettable PRS creation.
