Paul Reed Smith 513 at a Glance:

• What is a 10-Top?
  
• Two Switches, Five Pickups, and 13 Sounds
  
• Gorgeous Finish

What is a 10-Top?
A very small percentage of the maple trees cut in North America are actually figured. To make "10-Top" status, a PRS top must have clearly defined figure across its entire top. A guitar designated as a 10-Top will have a small "10" written on the back of the headstock in the upper right corner. Some of PRS's earlier guitars have the "10" stamped into the finish in the same position.

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.
