2008 PRS 513 Whale Blue

2008 PRS 513 Whale Blue This is an American PRS, which is still in production http://www.prsguitars.com/513/ Specifications: Color: Whale Blue Release date: 2008 Body: mahogany with a figured maple top Neck: 22 frets, mahogany with rosewood fretboard Neck profile: Wide Fat Electronics: patented 513 pickup system – 5 single coils, 13 tonal variations, volume and tone controls, 5-way pickup selector, 3-way mode switch. Scale length: 25 1/4" Phase II Locking tuners PRS tremolo Truss rod cover: 513 Hard case, all documentation, tremolo arm About the guitar: The color looks amazing! A deep blue like the ocean! It feels very good in the hand, like any PRS; the instrument has its own distinct character, and despite the number of pickups, they don't get in the way of playing at all—it feels as if they aren't even physically there. The first impression is that you are holding a top-tier premium class guitar!!! Both in appearance and in sound. Comfort: Everything is just super, the tremolo does not affect the tuning, the tuners hold perfectly! It is a great replacement for a Floyd Rose (personally, I don't need anything more than this). The frets are not high, which is the best. The controls are located very conveniently, they do not interfere while playing and are easily accessible. It is comfortable for both hands in all respects. In short, 5 points with three +! Sound: Very warm sound in the neck, angry in the bridge, and Strat-like in split-coil modes, a huge combination of settings, I liked the tone control, it gives a bunch of extra settings! I was pleased that even with a very angry overdrive, it remains readable even in altered chords, a pleasant growl, not a screech! The single coils sound very clean, transparent. The instrument fits perfectly into the band's sound, doesn't bury anyone, the sound is very even! Review by Paul Reed Smith The instrument is worth its money, even more! You can play anything—from jazz to metal. In general, this is one of the most versatile guitars in the world! It is preferred by many famous guitarists - Carlos Santana, Simon McBride, Martin Barre,... by the way, the guitarist of the band Lyapis Trubetskoy plays and records albums on the same PRS :) The guitar is in very good condition. The guitar has a nick and a dent on the back edge, which is basically not noticeable—otherwise, it is perfect, has practically no fret wear, intonates perfectly and is priced quite inexpensively compared to American prices with shipping. Comes with a case, all documentation, tremolo arm, and more... The guitar is located in Dnipropetrovsk! It can be auditioned on a good choice of tube equipment — Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Engl.... I will ship anywhere in the world
