The MusicStreet Setup Advantage: Why Your PRS Wood Library Deserves It
PRS Wood Library guitars are crafted from the absolute finest, hand-selected tonewoods in the world—including exotic maple tops, korina, swamp ash, Brazilian rosewood, and sinker redwood. Because these premium, highly figured woods are incredibly responsive and dynamic, they naturally breathe and shift during transit across different climates. Changes in temperature, humidity, and string tension during their journey to our showroom can cause subtle shifts in neck relief, saddle heights, and pickup balance.
At MusicStreet, we treat every Wood Library instrument with the utmost care. We perform a **complimentary £75 professional workshop setup** on every single PRS Wood Library guitar we sell. Our expert luthiers adjust the truss rod, file the nut slots to prevent string binding, set the bridge height and saddle radius for a comfortable low action, set the intonation, and polish the frets to ensure your new instrument plays flawlessly straight out of the box.
🔧 Free £75 Professional Setup
Every Wood Library guitar is individually set up in our in-house workshop. We adjust the action, intonation, neck relief, and nut slots to match your playing style, ensuring it plays perfectly straight out of the box.
🛡️ 12-Month Warranty
We stand behind every instrument we sell. All of our PRS Wood Library guitars come with a full 12-month warranty, giving you complete peace of mind with your purchase.
🚚 Free UK Delivery & 7-Day Returns
Get free, fully insured UK shipping on all orders over £99. If the guitar isn't the perfect fit for your hands, return it to us within 7 days for a hassle-free refund or exchange.
The Art of the PRS Wood Library: History & Curation
To appreciate the PRS Wood Library history, one must understand the passion for tone and aesthetics that drives Paul Reed Smith. The Wood Library program sits perfectly between the flagship Core production line and the ultra-exclusive, custom-built PRS Private Stock. It allows authorized dealers like MusicStreet to visit the PRS factory in Maryland and hand-select unique wood combinations, exotic tops, and exclusive finishes to create highly limited runs of classic models. Explore our core offerings:
PRS Wood Library Custom 24
The ultimate expression of a modern classic. A **PRS Wood Library Custom 24** features hand-selected, highly figured maple tops (often 10-Top or Artist Grade), unique neck woods like roasted maple or rosewood, and exclusive pickup configurations. It delivers the legendary playability of the Custom 24 with a completely unique aesthetic and tonal character.
PRS Wood Library McCarty
Vintage heart with custom-spec luxury. The **PRS Wood Library McCarty** models (including the McCarty 594) combine vintage-correct scale lengths and neck profiles with hand-selected, exotic tonewoods. These custom-spec instruments offer collectors and professional touring musicians the absolute ultimate in vintage tone, feel, and aesthetic luxury.
Special Semi-Hollow & Pre-Owned
Boutique versatility. The **PRS Wood Library Special Semi-Hollow** offers a highly versatile pickup configuration (two humbuckers and a middle Narrowfield pickup) combined with a resonant semi-hollow body and hand-selected woods. We also stock a constantly rotating selection of certified pre-owned PRS guitars. Explore our used range in our Pre-Owned Collection or view the parent PRS Guitars UK collection.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRS Wood Library Guitars
What is the PRS Wood Library program?
+
The PRS Wood Library program is a highly specialized service that allows select authorized dealers to design custom-spec runs of PRS guitars. Dealers can choose from a curated "library" of premium, hand-selected tonewoods (such as exotic maple tops, rosewood necks, and unique fingerboards), exclusive finishes, and custom pickup configurations that are not available on standard Core production models.
How does a PRS Wood Library guitar compare to Private Stock?
+
While **PRS Private Stock** instruments are completely bespoke, one-of-a-kind creations built to a single customer's exact specifications by the Private Stock team, **Wood Library** guitars are limited-run, dealer-designed instruments. Wood Library models utilize the same premium, hand-selected woods and custom options as Private Stock, but are built on the main Core production line, offering Private Stock-level luxury and uniqueness at a more accessible price point.
What is included in your £75 professional setup?
+
Our expert in-house technicians perform a complete multi-point inspection. This includes adjusting the neck relief (truss rod), setting the optimal string action (height) at both the nut and bridge saddles, setting the intonation, cleaning and conditioning the fretboard, polishing the frets, checking all electronics/pots, and installing a fresh set of premium strings.
Can I trade in my old gear toward a purchase?
+
Absolutely. We offer a highly competitive part-exchange program. You can bring your gear directly to our Huntingdon showroom for an on-the-spot valuation, or contact us online with photos and details to receive a preliminary trade-in estimate.
