We custom ordered this PRS 513 with a 10 top of Quilted Maple finished in Black Gold. We added a solid Rosewood Neck for tone and a smooth touch. The amazing 5 pickup array allows for any tone imaginable and the quality is all PRS from top to bottom.
From PRS - 513 stands for 5 pickups and 13 sounds. The 513 is an updated version of our original 513 Rosewood Model. It features updated electronics and includes our patented pickup system providing 13 modern and vintage sounds utilizing 5 proprietary single coil pickups. Other specifications include a 25 1/4" scale length, a special neck joint, 513 bird inlays and an easy to use integrated electronics control package, which includes volume control, tone control and two blade switches. One blade switch is a 5-way pickup selector, and the other is a 3-way mode switch that allows you to select between the single coil, clear humbucking and heavy humbucking modes. This is one of PRS's most versatile instruments that can go from screaming humbuckers to sparkling single coils with the flick of a 3-way.

"Paul Reed Smith has always been an innovator. I can tell you from my first hand discussion with him he has a passion and drives to give players tools to make music with. The 513 design is a very powerful tool. 5 individual pickups that can be combined, quite easily, into 13 combinations that offer spanky single coil Strat sounds along with fat, juicy humbucker tones. The Quilted Maple 10 Top and solid Rosewood Neck on this one make it really stand out. It looks and feels amazing while you do your thing, making music." - Paul Heumiller
"This PRS is by far the best and most versatile electric I've played in the shop. The pickup combinations make it possible to get any kind of Fender or Gibson tone that you've ever heard along with lots of new tones that are instantly useable for in many different styles of music. And it's not difficult to figure out either. The rosewood neck and beautifully flamed body make it one of the more beautiful instruments I've seen as well. A real winner." - Al Petteway
