Paul Reed Smith 513 Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Five ingenious pickups, 13 amazing modern and vintage guitar tones
  • Beautiful flame maple 10 Top adds bright overtones and stunning looks to this guitar
  • PRS V12 finish feels like nitro and protects like acrylic

Five ingenious pickups, 13 amazing modern and vintage guitar tones
The single biggest thing to put the PRS 513 on the map is its extremely clever pickup system, which gives you a huge range of tone. At first glance, this 513 appears to have a standard H/S/H pickup configuration, but those humbuckers are actually independent, side-by-side single-coil pickups. Thanks to the 513's flexible pickup-switching electronics, you can set these pickups as single-coils, clear humbuckers, or heavy humbuckers - giving you a total of 13 distinct pickup configurations in all. Whether you want bright vintage single-coil sounds, rich modern humbucker tones, or anything in between, this PRS 513 is your go-to guitar.

Beautiful flame maple 10 Top adds bright overtones and stunning looks to this guitar
One look at this 513 solidbody electric guitar and you know it's something special. That's because nothing else comes close to the look of one of PRS's gorgeous flame maple 10 Tops. Not only does this elegantly carved maple top provide a nearly holographic figuring that appears to leap off the guitar, but it also adds light and crisp harmonics to the 513's tone.

PRS V12 finish feels like nitro and protects like acrylic
The PRS 513 electric guitar is protected by a stunning PRS V12 finish. If you're seeking vintage vibe with a sophisticated edge, your search ends here. Over a decade in the making, PRS' V12 finish blends the thin, resonance-enhancing characteristics of a nitro finish with the non-cracking reliability you expect from a modern acrylic finish. It has a classic feel all its own - it makes your 513 feel like an well-worn instrument - one that will stay flawless-looking for years to come.

Paul Reed Smith 513 Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • An amazingly versatile solidbody electric guitar with a wide range of available tones
  • A perfect guitar for anyone who plays a broad variety of musical styles
  • Made from solid mahogany topped with a stunning PRS flame maple 10 Top
  • PRS's unique 513 pickup system gives you a total of 13 vintage and modern tones
  • PRS tremolo bridge gives you the freedom to bend notes with total stability

The PRS 513 solidbody electric guitar gives you elegance and versatility!
