PRS Wood Library 509 Electric Guitar - Satin Red Tiger

Remarkable Craftsmanship and Unparalleled Playability

There is no shortage of quality construction and stunning aesthetics with this Wood Library 509 Solidbody Electric Guitar from Paul Reed Smith — it looks and plays like a work of art. Outfitted with five signature 509 single-coil pickups in HSH configuration with two mini toggle coil taps, you'll find that sharpening the edges of those hot highs and blending a unique midrange and low-end is as detailed as can be. The Figured10 maple top and natural mahogany back make for a sleek combination that really emphasizes this 509's gorgeous finish. And it's all-premium rosewood for the neck, fingerboard, and headstock, adding an elegantly dark touch to contrast the lighter natural essence of the back. PRS's trademark Birds inlays are pearl centered, gold outlined, and absolutely all class. Phase III Locking tuners pair wonderfully with the PRS Gen III Patented Tremolo bridge to provide superior intonation throughout any gig, rehearsal, or studio session. And you'll keep this instrument protected between shows with the included plush-lined PRS hardshell case — but you're going to want to show this one off. The PRS Wood Library 509 has never looked so smooth!

Top-of-the-line woodwork

The woodwork of this Wood Library 509 is really a sight to see. The maple top adds some brilliance to the top end of your tone and keeps your lower end punchy, while the natural mahogany back offers a solid, woody backbone to your sound. The neck is crafted from East Indian rosewood, with a set joint and pattern regular neck profile for a thinner and more traditional playing feel. Atop the neck is a 22-fret Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with a 10-inch radius, boasting PRS's iconic Birds inlays, elegantly appointed with gold outlining and a mother-of-pearl center. The headstock follows suit, with a satin-finished Brazilian rosewood construction, a proprietary nut, and classic PRS embleming.

Versatile mini toggles provide endless tone-shaping options

With such a phenomenal tonal wood construction, you can bet that PRS armed this 509 with all of the controls to let those tones shine. Five PRS 509 single coils line this axe in an HSH formation. Thanks to its 5-way blade switch, you have an abundance of pickup combinations to start with: bridge, bridge and middle, middle, middle and neck, and neck. Sharpen, dampen, and boost your chosen position with the master tone and volume controls, then use the two mini toggle coil taps to specify your single coil or full humbucker tone preference. Metal, jazz, rock, twang, and beyond — here at Sweetwater, we've found this 509 will take you anywhere you want to go!

Premium intonation and quality hardware

The PRS Patented Tremolo Gen III bridge comes finished in smoked chrome. It works in conjunction with Phase III Locking tuners at the headstock to ensure a tuning stability that will keep your focus on playing, not on micro adjustments. That means no more holding back when it comes to hard bends and heavy dive-bombs!

Gorgeous finish

The finish on this 509's maple top is stunning in every sense of the term. The Satin CAB Nitro finish really brings out this guitar's cindering glow. When profiled, the finish, the maple top, and the mahogany back create beautiful layering that is truly one of a kind.
