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.

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 Strat... read more [+]acaster 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 than I expected. The service from Sweetwater's sales engineer, Robert Williams, delivered what he promised. The PRS 513 was delivered on time and in excellent condition. The action was set up as I requested. I was very impressed with the quality of the craftmenship from Paul Reed Smith. PRS took a lot of care with every little detail on the body, the neck, and the electronics. That attention to detail made it really hard to put it down. The controls are clean, quiet, and smooth while operating them. The frets are a little higher than I expected but after a few songs the neck felt like an old friend. I have a Gibson ES 137 with high frets and it took a while to get used to them. The PRS 513 is a pleasure to play. I am not a fan of rectangle cases, however, the quality case for the PRS 513 was in excellent condition. Also, it did not have that glue smell, and it was well balanced. The PRS 513 does the job of 3 guitars for me. Thanks Paul Reed Smith and Sweetwater foreveything. Keep up the good work. close [-]

Stuart NivenThe 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!
