Paul Reed Smith Wood Library McCarty Tremolo Charcoal
Paul Reed Smith Wood Library McCarty Tremolo Limited Charcoal
Serial Number: 0430931
Weight: 8.14 lbs.
The PRS Wood Library McCarty Tremolo Limited in Charcoal (Serial #0430931) takes the Wood Library approach to a McCarty: uncommon woods, a limited run, and a finish that does something the catalog models don't. Charcoal is a darker, more restrained treatment than PRS's usual bursts, and over a 10 top flame maple cap the figure reads as contrast rather than color — the flame catches light against a near-monochrome field. High-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer over a mahogany body, 8.14 lbs. on the scale.
Flame maple shows up again where it matters most, in the neck itself, in place of the mahogany a standard McCarty ships with. It's carved to PRS's Pattern profile (7/8" at the 1/2 fret, 61/64" at the 12 1/2 fret), a medium carve that fills the hand without slowing anything down, and finished in high-gloss nitro. The ziricote fretboard runs a 10" radius across 22 frets, edged in faux bone binding, with sparkle mother-of-pearl inlays and pink heart centers. Scale length is 25" and the PRS nut measures 1 11/16". A matching ziricote headstock veneer carries the mother-of-pearl inlaid signature. Set-neck construction, PRS Gen III tremolo, and Phase III locking tuners in hybrid hardware handle the working end — the Gen III returns to pitch reliably whether you're adding shimmer to a chord or dropping a full step.
A pair of DMO humbuckers feeds one volume, one tone, and a 3-way toggle, with two mini-toggles for coil-tapping. Splitting each pickup independently means the middle position can run humbucker and single-coil at once, which is where a lot of the useful in-between voices live. Whether you're after Wood Library woods on a guitar you actually intend to play, tracking limited PRS runs for the collection, or specifically hunting a flame maple neck with a ziricote board, this Charcoal McCarty Trem is a spec you won't find in the standard catalog. This PRS Wood Library McCarty Tremolo Limited in Charcoal (Serial #0430931) includes a PRS ATA hardshell case. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized PRS dealer.
