10 TOP QUILT MAPLE + PRIVATE STOCK DIRTY BLONDE
This guitar starts with one of the most important visual elements of any special PRS:
The top.
Serial number 0432704 features a beautifully figured 10 Top quilt maple top, and Private Stock Dirty Blonde is an ideal finish for allowing that maple to remain the focus.
Rather than covering the top beneath a heavily saturated color, Dirty Blonde celebrates the natural character of the wood. The quilt remains visible, dimensional, and alive as the viewing angle changes.
The combination has an understated elegance that suits the McCarty beautifully.
10 Top Quilt Maple. Private Stock Dirty Blonde. Nitro Finish.
It doesn't need to shout to look extraordinary.
EAST INDIAN ROSEWOOD NECK + BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD FRETBOARD
Then we get to one of the specifications that really separates this McCarty Trem from a standard production instrument.
Solid East Indian Rosewood Neck.
Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard.
That's a serious Wood Library combination.
Replacing the traditional mahogany neck with East Indian rosewood changes one of the fundamental construction elements of the guitar. Beyond its beauty, a solid rosewood neck has a distinctive tactile quality that many experienced players immediately recognize when they pick one up.
PRS then pairs that neck with a Brazilian rosewood fretboard.
For serious PRS enthusiasts and collectors, Brazilian rosewood requires little introduction. Its beauty, rarity, feel, and long history in high-end instrument building make it one of the most significant appointments on this guitar.
And these woods aren't simply decorative.
Your hand is wrapped around East Indian rosewood while your fingers are playing directly against Brazilian rosewood.
They're part of the actual playing experience.
PRIVATE STOCK COLOR DIRTY BLONDE — NITRO FINISH
The Private Stock Color Dirty Blonde color gives this Anniversary McCarty an entirely different personality from a heavily stained or dramatically colored PRS.
It's sophisticated and natural.
The finish allows the quilt maple to remain visually dominant, while the darker natural character of the rosewood neck creates a beautiful contrast against the lighter top.
And this individual instrument is specified with a Nitro finish, another detail that deserves to be clearly identified rather than buried at the bottom of the specifications.
The combination creates a guitar that feels simultaneously traditional and unmistakably PRS.
PRS GEN III TREMOLO
Serial number 0432704 is specifically equipped with the PRS Gen III Tremolo.
That's an important part of this Wood Library build.
The McCarty platform is traditionally associated with vintage-inspired response, resonance, sustain, and a 22-fret architecture. Adding the Gen III Tremolo introduces another level of expression without abandoning the fundamental character that makes the McCarty so compelling.
From subtle vibrato and gentle movement on sustained chords to expressive lead work, the Gen III gives the player considerably more freedom.
For someone who loves the feel and voice of a McCarty but wants a tremolo:
This specification makes a tremendous amount of sense.
THE McCARTY FOUNDATION
Underneath the exotic woods and Anniversary specifications is one of PRS's most enduring designs.
The McCarty is built around a wonderfully musical formula:
Carved Maple Top • Mahogany Back • 22 Frets • 25" Scale
The 22-fret architecture and 25" scale provide the substantial, comfortable playing experience associated with the McCarty while retaining the articulation and precision that have defined PRS guitars for decades.
This Wood Library build then takes that foundation somewhere completely different with its rosewood neck construction and Gen III Tremolo.
That's the beauty of Wood Library.
The McCarty identity remains intact, but the personality of the individual guitar becomes something special.
CELEBRATING JACK GRETZ — 30 YEARS WITH PRS
This guitar carries a story that is particularly meaningful to us at Northeast Music Center.
It celebrates Jack Gretz and 30 years with PRS.
Three decades of playing PRS guitars.
Selling them.
Selecting woods.
Choosing tops.
Visiting the factory.
Creating special orders and Wood Library runs.
Watching pickups, finishes, hardware, and models evolve.
And most importantly, helping musicians and collectors find PRS guitars that become part of their own stories.
Wood Library Run 02816 was created to commemorate that relationship with instruments worthy of the milestone.
Serial number 0432704 is one of them.
WOOD LIBRARY RUN 02816
Wood Library is special because it allows an experienced PRS dealer to go beyond the normal Core menu and create combinations with a distinctive identity.
But access to extraordinary options doesn't automatically create an extraordinary guitar.
The choices have to work together.
Here they do:
10 Top Quilt Maple
Private Stock Dirty Blonde Color
Nitro Finish
East Indian Rosewood Neck
Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard
PRS Gen III Tremolo
Every major element contributes something to the finished instrument.
Nothing feels added simply to make the specification sheet longer.
That's exactly what we want from a Northeast Music Center Wood Library guitar.
A COLLECTOR'S SPECIFICATION THAT DESERVES TO BE PLAYED
There is undeniable collector appeal here.
Wood Library Run 02816
10 Top Quilt Maple
Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard
East Indian Rosewood Neck
Private Stock Color Dirty Blonde
Nitro Finish
Gen III Tremolo
30th Anniversary Significance
Serial Number 0432704
But we'd never want those specifications to overshadow what this instrument was built to do.
Play music.
Feel the rosewood neck.
Use the tremolo.
Hear how the guitar responds to your hands.
Turn the amplifier up.
This is exactly the kind of PRS that can satisfy the collector while becoming an extraordinary everyday instrument for the serious player.
PRS D1 MOLDED HARDSHELL CASE INCLUDED
This individual guitar comes complete with a PRS D1 Molded Hardshell Case.
For an instrument of this caliber, proper protection matters.
The D1 molded case provides a substantial protective solution for transportation and storage and completes the package appropriately for this Anniversary Wood Library McCarty Trem.
PRS D1 Molded Hardshell Case Included.
30 YEARS WITH PRS — ONE VERY SPECIAL McCARTY TREM
For Northeast Music Center, serial number 0432704 represents more than another beautiful Wood Library guitar.
It represents Jack Gretz's 30 years with PRS and the relationships, friendships, customers, factory visits, wood selections, special orders, and thousands of conversations about guitars that have filled those three decades.
And after thirty years, we still get excited when we open a PRS case and see something extraordinary inside.
That's what this Anniversary collection is really about.
Serial number 0432704 captures that feeling beautifully.
