PRS McCarty Wood Library 10-Top Electric Guitar - Custom Charcoal with Emerald Burst & Stained Neck

PRS McCarty Wood Library 10-Top Electric Guitar – Custom Charcoal with Emerald Burst & Stained Neck | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The PRS McCarty Wood Library in Custom Charcoal with Emerald Burst and Stained Neck is a USA-made Wood Library instrument that represents the full breadth of what PRS's most specification-flexible production program can produce — serial number 26 0429373, weighing 8.59 lbs., made in the USA in 2026. The Custom Charcoal with Emerald Burst finish is a non-catalog color available only through the Wood Library program's expanded finish options, and the stained flame maple neck carries the same charcoal-emerald color from the body through the neck back and headstock for a complete, unified color statement that production McCarty instruments simply don't offer. A flame maple 10-Top in this extraordinary color, mahogany body back in natural gloss, flame maple neck in the Pattern carve, Ziricote fingerboard and headstock veneer with Pink Heart Center and Sparkle MOP Outline Old School Bird inlays, McCarty III treble and bass humbuckers with 3-way toggle and dual mini-toggle EQ switches, Gen III tremolo, and hybrid hardware throughout. D1 Molded Case included.

Product Overview

The photographs of this guitar are genuinely extraordinary — and they reward careful attention across every element of the instrument. The flame maple 10-Top is the first visual statement, and it is exceptional. Looking at the close-up body photograph, the flame figure runs in tight, dramatically intense horizontal waves across the full width of the body — the figure is dense, evenly distributed, and deeply three-dimensional in its chatoyant character, the flame peaks catching and redirecting light in brilliantly defined lines that give the top a visual movement that changes with every shift of the viewing angle. This is the quality of flame figure that earns the 10-Top designation — the most intense and uniformly distributed flame that PRS's graders identify in their figured maple selection process.

Over this remarkable top, the Custom Charcoal with Emerald Burst finish produces a color combination that is unlike anything in PRS's standard catalog. The emerald green is saturated and brilliant at the outer edges of the body — a rich, jewel-like forest green that reads almost luminous under direct light — while the charcoal transitions inward from the burst edges, the two colors interacting through an intermediate zone of deep teal and blue-green where emerald and charcoal blend in complex, shifting tonal gradients. The center of the body opens into the charcoal's darker, more subdued character, but the flame figure's light-catching quality ensures that even in the charcoal center areas the figure's three-dimensional depth is visible and active. Under different lighting conditions this guitar transforms completely — under direct stage lighting the emerald edges saturate to near-neon intensity, while in natural light the colors settle into a deeper, more complex relationship that reveals the flame's full depth.

The back of the guitar — visible in the back photograph — is one of the most visually complete backs we have seen on any PRS production instrument. The natural mahogany body back is gloss-finished and shows the mahogany's straight, interlocked grain clearly in warm honey-amber tones — a beautiful, natural, warm backdrop that contrasts dramatically with the jewel-like colored front. The stained flame maple neck back carries the Custom Charcoal with Emerald Burst color from the body through the full neck length and headstock — the flame maple's figure visible through the color as a textural layer that gives the neck back a richness and depth that plain-stained or natural maple necks don't achieve. The headstock back shows the serial number 26 0429373 clearly, with the hybrid hardware tuners — gold gear mechanisms with white/cream tuner buttons visible against the stained maple headstock face.

The close-up body photograph reveals every hardware and control detail with exceptional clarity. The McCarty III humbuckers in gold-covered finish — "Mcarty III" labeling visible on both pickup covers — sit against the emerald-and-charcoal top in brilliant gold contrast. The gold Gen III tremolo bridge gleams against the lower body. The two dual mini-toggle switches for EQ switching flank the main 3-way toggle, all in gold hardware. Two black knurled control knobs — volume and tone — complete the control layout. The Ziricote fingerboard is visible in the full-body photograph — dark, spider-web-patterned grain running the length of the fingerboard with the Pink Heart Center and Sparkle MOP Outline Old School Birds creating a visually sophisticated inlay treatment that is uniquely PRS and uniquely premium within the McCarty lineup.

The PRS McCarty platform is built around a specific tonal philosophy — the warm, full, vintage-voiced PAF-inspired humbucker character that Ted McCarty-era Gibson instruments produced, delivered through PRS's construction precision and material quality. The McCarty III pickups carry this philosophy forward with PRS's modern understanding of what makes those vintage tones work — warm, complex, harmonically rich, and dynamically responsive to pick attack and playing technique. The dual mini-toggle EQ switches add tonal versatility by providing independent coil-split and EQ control for the neck and bridge pickups — expanding the McCarty's vintage-voiced range with additional tonal configurations while maintaining the instrument's fundamentally warm, musical character.

What Is the PRS Wood Library?

The PRS Wood Library program gives dealers the ability to specify custom combinations of tonewoods, finishes, neck profiles, and hardware options that go beyond the standard catalog specification — allowing the creation of instruments that are not available through standard ordering channels. Wood Library instruments are built in the same PRS Core facility by the same craftsmen as standard Core instruments, but with the expanded material and specification options that make each Wood Library guitar a more personalized, more distinctive instrument than a standard catalog model. The Custom Charcoal with Emerald Burst and stained flame maple neck specification on this McCarty is a Wood Library-exclusive combination.

Key Features

Custom Charcoal with Emerald Burst — Wood Library Exclusive

Stained Flame Maple Neck — Full Color Continuity
The flame maple neck is stained in the same Custom Charcoal with Emerald Burst tones as the body — carrying the color from body to headstock with the flame maple's figure visible through the stain, creating complete front-to-back visual continuity.

Flame Maple 10-Top — Exceptional Figure
PRS's highest standard of figured maple selection for the Core lineup — intense, tight, evenly distributed flame figure across the full body surface with the three-dimensional chatoyant depth that earns the 10-Top designation.

Ziricote Fingerboard and Headstock Veneer — Pink Heart Center/Sparkle MOP Outline Birds
Dark, spider-web-patterned Ziricote with the unique Old School Bird inlay treatment featuring pink heart centers with sparkle mother-of-pearl outlines — one of the most sophisticated and visually distinctive inlay options in the PRS lineup.
