An Elegant and Amazingly Versatile Tone Machine!
The Paul Reed Smith 513 gives you an amazing array of modern and vintage tones, thanks to five single-coil pickups mounted in the carved figured maple top. The stunning and functional 513 also boasts a mahogany '513' neck and rosewood fretboard, 25 1/4" scale length, mother-of-pearl bird inlays, PRS trem, and an easy-to-use electronics control package that lets you get 13 tone variations via a 5-way pickup selector and 3-way tone selector. You get amazing tonal variety and elegant good looks from the Paul Reed Smith 513.

Paul Reed Smith 513 at a Glance:
  • Two Switches, Five Pickups, and 13 Sounds
  • Gorgeous Finish

Two Switches, Five Pickups, and 13 Sounds
513 stands for 5 pickups and 13 sounds. The patented pickup system provides 13 modern and vintage sounds utilizing five proprietary single coil pickups. An easy to use integrated electronics control package, which includes volume control, tone control and two blade switches, is the key to the sonic versatility of the 513. 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 Paul Reed Smith's most versatile instruments that can go from screaming humbuckers to sparkling single coils with the flick of a 3-way.

Gorgeous Finish
Utilizing the most advanced finishing technology, PRS has developed fat, ultra-high gloss finishes and rich stains that exquisitely highlight the color and grain of the woods while retaining the fast, smooth feel of vintage lacquer. Because color is an important component in any guitar's appearance, PRS dyes are specially blended to look their very best under stage lights, shining with such luster and brilliance that the guitar truly looks every bit as good as it sounds.

Customer Reviews
 Absolutely Fantastic !

Music Background:  Musician, 35yrs


“The PRS 513 gives me every sound from warm Jazz to a screaming distorted solo with endless sustain. I have always wanted the feel and sustain of a Gibson Les Paul and the phase sound of a Fender Stratacaster in one guitar. The PRS 513 satisfied my need for a variety of sounds and more. I have been playing the guitar for over 35 years and this is the first time that I ordered a guitar and got more...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "The 513 is a stunning example of Paul Reed Smith's attention to the art of building and designing guitars. Not only does the 513 look gorgeous in Blue Matteo (in every other color too!), it also plays, feels, and sounds like a high-end instrument should. You will never want to put this down! Elegance and tone personified! Nothing inspires your creativity quite like a fine instrument in your hands! "
