EAST INDIAN ROSEWOOD NECK + BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD FRETBOARD

This is one of the defining specifications of serial number 0432705.
Rather than the traditional mahogany neck associated with the McCarty platform, this Wood Library instrument features a:
Solid East Indian Rosewood Neck
paired with a:
Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard.
That's an extraordinary combination.
A solid rosewood neck brings its own distinctive feel and response to a PRS. There's an immediate tactile quality to rosewood that many players love, but the attraction goes deeper than feel alone. Changing the neck material from traditional mahogany to East Indian rosewood changes an important part of the instrument's overall construction and personality.
Then PRS takes it another step with the Brazilian rosewood fretboard.
Brazilian rosewood has long occupied a special place in high-end guitar building and remains particularly desirable within the PRS collector community. Its beauty, rarity, feel, and historical association with exceptional instruments make its presence on this Anniversary Wood Library McCarty especially significant.
Most importantly, these aren't decorative veneers or cosmetic references to exotic woods.
Your fretting hand is actually wrapped around East Indian rosewood while your fingers are playing against Brazilian rosewood.
That makes these materials an integral part of the playing experience.

PRIVATE STOCK BAHAMIAN BLUE

Against that extraordinary rosewood neck combination is one of the most visually striking colors available in the PRS world:
Private Stock Bahamian Blue.
Across a premium figured maple top, Bahamian Blue emphasizes the three-dimensional movement of the maple while giving the guitar the visual presence normally associated with some of PRS's highest-level Private Stock creations.
The contrast is especially beautiful here:
Bahamian Blue figured maple on the front.
Natural rosewood beneath your hand.
Brazilian rosewood beneath the strings.
It's an exceptional combination of color and natural wood.

CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF PRS & JACK GRETZ

This guitar represents something deeply personal to us at Northeast Music Center:
Thirty years of PRS and our store owner, Jack Gretz.
Three decades spent selecting, selling, playing, discussing, collecting, and sharing PRS guitars with musicians.
Wood Library Run 02816 was created to commemorate that history with instruments worthy of the milestone—not simply through an Anniversary designation, but through the woods, colors, and specifications themselves.
The East Indian rosewood neck, Brazilian rosewood fretboard, premium figured maple, Private Stock Bahamian Blue finish, McCarty III pickups, and tremolo come together to make this a genuinely special Wood Library specification.

McCARTY SOUL — WITH A TREMOLO

The McCarty has always been about resonance, sustain, dynamics, and vintage-inspired response.
This Wood Library instrument adds the expressive capability of a:
PRS Tremolo.
That combination gives players the warmth and authority associated with a 22-fret McCarty while adding fluid pitch control unavailable on the traditional stoptail version.
Combined with the 25" PRS scale length, Pattern neck profile, and extraordinary rosewood neck construction, this is a McCarty with a personality very much its own.

McCARTY III PICKUPS

The PRS McCarty III treble and bass pickups are an ideal complement to a guitar built from woods of this caliber.
Vintage-inspired in character, McCarty III pickups emphasize:
Warmth • Clarity • Dynamics • Note Separation
Instead of burying the instrument beneath excessive output, they allow the acoustic personality of the guitar to remain an important part of what reaches the amplifier.
Full humbucker voices provide body, richness, and authority, while the switching system opens the door to brighter, more articulate textures.

WOOD LIBRARY RUN 02816

The Wood Library program gives select PRS dealers the opportunity to create instruments using special combinations of premium woods, finishes, and appointments outside ordinary production specifications.
At Northeast Music Center, we believe the best Wood Library guitars aren't simply collections of expensive options.
The specifications need to tell a story.
Run 02816 does exactly that.
East Indian Rosewood Neck
Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard
Premium Figured Maple
Private Stock Bahamian Blue
McCarty III Pickups
PRS Tremolo
And a milestone:
30 Years of PRS & Jack Gretz.
That's a Wood Library specification with a reason to exist.

BUILT FOR A PLAYER — SPECIAL ENOUGH FOR A COLLECTOR

There is undeniable collector appeal here.
Brazilian rosewood alone immediately gets the attention of knowledgeable PRS enthusiasts. Add the solid East Indian rosewood neck, Private Stock Bahamian Blue finish, Wood Library provenance, Anniversary significance, and individual serial number 0432705, and the result becomes considerably more interesting.
But this guitar wasn't created merely to sit in a case.
The 25" scale, rosewood neck, McCarty III pickups, 22-fret layout, and tremolo make it an exceptionally interesting player's McCarty.
Collectible enough to treasure.
Built well enough to play every day.

THREE DECADES — ONE VERY SPECIAL PRS

For Northeast Music Center, serial number 0432705 represents more than another Wood Library guitar.
It represents relationships with players and collectors, countless conversations about woods, colors, pickups and specifications, and three decades of enthusiasm for the instruments Paul Reed Smith and his team build in Maryland.
Most importantly, it represents:
30 Years of PRS & Jack Gretz.
For the player or collector who ultimately owns this guitar, we hope it becomes part of their own PRS story.
