PRS McCarty 594 Singlecut Wood Library Sprayer's Choice | Fire Red to Black Fade

This Paul Reed Smith McCarty 594 Singlecut Wood Library Sprayer’s Choice blends vintage soul, modern precision, and true one-of-one artistry. The McCarty 594 platform is Paul Reed Smith’s most faithful interpretation of classic late-’50s single-cut tone—delivering warmth, depth, and dynamic response with unmistakable PRS refinement.

What elevates this example is its custom Wood Library build, featuring select tonewoods and specifications not found in standard production. A quilt maple violin-carved top paired with a swamp ash back delivers exceptional clarity, snap, and harmonic complexity, while the figured maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide a fast, articulate feel with boutique-level refinement.

As a Sprayer’s Choice, this McCarty 594 Singlecut features a true one-of-one finish created with full artistic freedom by PRS’s master painters. The result is an absolutely stunning black-to-red fade that looks downright insane in person. The transition is flawless and three-dimensional, highlighting the quilted maple’s movement and depth from every angle. It’s elegant, dramatic, and unapologetically bold — gorgeous, but with an unmistakably mean edge. Finished in high-gloss nitro with smoked black hardware and an inlaid signature logo on an ebony headstock veneer, it carries subtle Private Stock DNA in a rare, player-focused Wood Library build.

With its 24.594" scale length, Pattern Vintage neck profile, and resonant singlecut body design, the McCarty 594 feels immediately familiar and deeply musical. A set of McCarty III pickups, paired with two volume and two push/pull tone controls, delivers rich, open humbucker tones alongside articulate single-coil textures—capturing classic PAF character with modern clarity and balance.

If you’re searching for vintage character, boutique craftsmanship, and a truly unique PRS, this McCarty 594 Singlecut Wood Library Sprayer’s Choice is an exceptional, no-compromise example.
