STUNNING PRS McCarty Wood Library

Some guitars are incredible players. Some are stunning to look at.

This one is both — and then some.

This is a PRS McCarty Artist Package Wood Library build that sits firmly at the top of PRS’s Core lineup. The Cherry Charcoal Burst Artist top is deep, dramatic, and constantly shifting depending on the light — dark and smoky from one angle, fiery and dimensional from another. It’s the kind of finish you don’t see often, and even more rare to find paired with a matching flamed maple neck like this one.

Wood Library instruments are already special, but this one goes a step further. Between the Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and headstock veneer, abalone bird inlays, and Artist-grade woods throughout, this guitar checks every box collectors and serious players care about. It’s not just premium — it’s intentional.

The feel is exactly what you’d expect from a top-tier McCarty: balanced, resonant, and incredibly responsive. The neck has that perfect PRS carve that disappears in your hand, and the guitar rings acoustically before you even plug it in.

Electronics-wise, this one is loaded with upgraded gold PRS Dragon II pickups, which absolutely deliver. They retain the McCarty’s vintage DNA but add authority and clarity — articulate cleans, rich midrange, and a powerful, harmonically complex drive when pushed. These pickups make the guitar feel alive under your fingers.

Cosmetically, it’s truly in like-new condition. No issues, no excuses — this is a meticulously cared-for piece that has spent its life protected and appreciated. Comes complete with the black paisley PRS Wood Library case, along with all original case candy and documentation.

This is easily the nicest and most expensive guitar I’ve personally owned, and one I genuinely wouldn’t mind keeping in the collection. Finding another Wood Library McCarty with this finish, this neck, and these upgrades would be extremely difficult — especially one this clean.

If you’re looking for a McCarty that represents the absolute peak of PRS craftsmanship, this is it.

Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and insured.

⏳ Quick note

These guitars don’t usually sit. Most are purchased within 3–7 days, and I regularly hear from watchers after the listing has already sold. If this one’s on your radar, now’s the window!
