Personal Thoughts:
The PRS 513 Rosewood is one of the most versatile guitars in the PRS lineup, and this 2006 model with a solid rosewood neck is a particularly rare and special find. The solid rosewood neck not only gives it a gorgeous, dark aesthetic, but also enhances sustain and resonance, making the guitar feel incredibly alive in your hands. The 513 pickup system is a standout feature, offering five single-coils that can be configured for single-coil clarity, P90-like punch, or full humbucking power, making this one of the most tonally diverse PRS guitars available. The Scarlet Red finish beautifully complements the figured maple top, and it has a rich depth that looks stunning under different lighting.
