Hey Blue-

 

The press release says

December 22, 2003

 

PRS Guitars has announced the 513 Rosewood Model, featuring a newly developed PRS pickup system, providing 13 modern and vintage sounds utilizing 5 proprietary single coil pickups.

key word being Proprietary - I guess Pauls having someone make them, but he ain't saying yet ;)

I asked because I like the looks of the pickups. Very unique look, and I don't see any adjustment screws.

We've needed a new idea, guitplayer!

 

Cool pic, guitar geezer; that's one drop- dead-sexy top on that axe. Gorgeous figure, I love how it looks different with the carved-contours. I'd love to try one, and I'd love to have that one for its looks! (DROOL-DROOL)

Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do?

Looking more closely at the picture, it does appear to have some "indentation" on the end of each of the "ovals" at the end of each pickup.

 

The detail and light aren't good enough to tell, but if there ARE adjustment capablities, it's probably there.

 

Maybe they adjust from the back or something? It sure seems interesting from a sound standpoint... I am looking forward to checking one out. I haven't GAS'd for a PRS for a while now... maybe this is the one!

Does anyone know the configuration possibilities of this guitar? It looks a little too 'pretty' for my tastes, but I can see the advantage in having all those single coils at your command.

I looked on the PRS site but there was nothing giving on the 513, anyone make an educated guess?
