PRS vs Telecaster

[Maertl513]

I didn´t want to procure neither a Tele nor a Strat once, but a 513.
It OCCURED by testing several Teles that - in my ears - my 513´s SC offers those telish sound at Treble or Bass, too. Actually the combination or blend of Treble and Bass isn´t possible by the original 513 wiring. But it deals with a single SC in the middle.

MIJ Telecasters are the balls. Pretty rare now but so cool.

I agree. I like the single coil sounds my 513 makes (+ they absolutely ROCK !!!) better than those of my Paul's guitar but I think they tend more towards a Strat sound than a Tele.....IMO ! BUT in fairness I haven't really tried to approximate a Tele with the 513 where I do regularly use it to get pretty convincing Strat sounds.

While 513's tend to be more strat voiced, it turns out the 509 is more tele voiced on the bridge pick up.
