PRS 513 Swamp Ash (Vintage Natural)

http://www.nstuffmusic.com/p-14417-prs-513-ash-body-bird-inlays-vintage-natur...

513 stands for 5 pickups and 13 sounds, achieved with an easy to use integrated electronics control package, which includes volume control, tone control and two blade switches. 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 singlecoil, clear humbucking and heavy humbucking modes. One of our most versatile instruments, the 513 now comes with a swamp ash body, and Pattern Regular mahogany neck.

V12 Finish
Finish should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating the wood's inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural resonance. And PRS Guitars' new "V12" finish does just that. Introduced at Experience PRS 2010, "V12" is a very thin, hard, and clear finish that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro but with a classic feel all its own. "PRS models with this new finish feel like old instruments," said Paul Reed Smith.

Pattern Regular Neck Shape
Neck shapes have always been a high priority for us and a hallmark of our quality. A guitar should feel comfortable, like "home," as soon as you pick it up, and the neck is paramount to that connection. The new "Pattern Regular" neck shape is similar to the traditional PRS regular neck found on guitars made in the late 80's at PRS's former Virginia Avenue location.

This new neck shape reflects modern tooling and programming that allows us to even more precisely shape and consistently reproduce our necks.

The middle pickup is not effected by the humbucking/single switch, as it is simply a single coil pickup itself. When you demo the center pickup, you can hear there is not any change when running through that selector. So it's only 4 positions x 3 = 12, then 1 middle single. Voila - 4 x 3 + 1 = 13. And that is is the 513.

I want one but its too expensive! damn you monetary system!!!

In my opinion I like the sound of alder and swamp ash over mahogany any day.

One of the most versatile and best sounding guitar I've ever heard. I would more than anything love to have one unfortunately I can't afford it :(

@aninstrumentalvision - Actually, it IS effected by that switch; when in "heavey humbucking" mode that position acts like a boost for the single coil. It probably should have been called the 514. I like mine, that's for sure.
