PRS Wood Library McCarty 594 Singlecut Flame Maple – Gray Black Fade with Natural Back
When you open a case and see “Wood Library,” you know you’re in for something exceptional, and this McCarty 594 Singlecut is absolute proof of that. Paul Reed Smith’s Wood Library program allows dealers to swap standard specs for exotic combinations, and this specific build is a tonal masterpiece. Instead of the traditional mahogany, this guitar features a resonant Swamp Ash body capped with a stunning Wood Library Flame Maple top. This combination retains that thick, single-cut authority but injects a distinct airy snap and articulation that cuts through a mix like a knife. The visual of the Gray Black Fade against the natural back is nothing short of sophisticated, making it a true showstopper under stage lights.
The magic of the McCarty 594 lies in its feel and vintage voice, designed as a tribute to Ted McCarty, the golden-era guitar pioneer who mentored Paul. With a 24.594” scale length, the string tension is slightly looser, making big bends feel effortless and giving the guitar a “slinky” playability that is hard to put down. The Flame Maple neck features a Pattern Vintage profile—which fills the hand substantialy without feeling clumsy—and is finished in satin for a lightning-fast, non-stick playing experience.
Sonic versatility is at the heart of this instrument. Equipped with PRS McCarty humbuckers, it delivers those sought-after PAF-style tones: warm, clear, and incredibly musical. The electronics layout, featuring two volume and two push/pull tone controls, allows you to tap into convincing single-coil textures, giving you a massive palette of sounds in one instrument. Whether you are chasing the classic rock growl of Jimmy Page or the modern, nuanced blues tones of John Mayer (a noted 594 player), this guitar bridges the gap between vintage soul and modern precision perfectly.
