Paul Reed Smith PRS 513 Mahogany Vintage Burst Finish

2008 PRS 513

The PRS 513 electric guitar in mahogany is an updated version of the original PRS 513 rosewood model.  THIS GUITAR HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED BY PRS.  This color (Vintage Natural) is also no longer available on any of the 513 models.  I have owned the Brazilian necked version and prefer the mahogany necked version to it; better sustain and less of the “heavy mid range” associated to the rosewood necked models.

This guitar is in excellent condition, and was rarely played (mostly because I didn’t want to chance marring it up.)  I’m the first and only owner.

This guitar is medium weight, it is not heavy at all for a PRS.

The guitar features a mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, updated electronics, and includes a patented pickup system providing 13 modern and vintage sounds using five proprietary single coil pickups.   The finish is Vintage Natural over a heavily flamed 10 top

Other specifications include a 25-1/4" scale; 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 five-way pickup selector and the other is a three-way mode switch that allows you to select between the single coil, clear humbucking and heavy humbucking modes. This is one of PRS' most versatile instruments that can go from screaming humbuckers to sparkling single coils with the flick of the switch.
