Scale on 513 (509) is 25.25 not 24.25. So, it's pretty close to the Strat Scale. :)

You're right! Must've been the material that made it look different to me.

What you call slightly Sir! What year is it? Should be before '91, I'd say. The Royal Blue nowadays is most likely to have a blue back too. How's yours? Guess, I'll have to add a pic too, but before I better check, my whale blue is not as faded as your Royal Blue :) Pics to come ...

But they're not the old 513 bird if I recall it correctly. To me they look like complete new birds. Anyone ever seen those?

Sorry for being a little late. This one is from 21st: And to me it looks more like a 24-fret 509 piezo than a Super Eagle. Anyone to confim this?

I was gonna ask if there'll be more of these, since one was already on Wild West Guitars' Site. But I found the answer, on there too, it'll be six plus the prototype shown on the Wild West Guitars HP. I'm afraid, this is far from anything, I'll be spending on a guitar! :(

And this is what it reads there: "If you're outside of the United States, please contact the PTC department at 410-643-9970 or at [email protected]"! So, go back to the Point where you send a mail. And Good Luck!

Hmm, I did exactly that in Aug 2014 (about reconfig of P24 electronics). And guess what: I'm still waiting for an answer. :(

Why are you writing all that @Dancing Frog ? Might make me want to try a 509, but I wanna be disappointed the 513 is gone :( Do you by any chance have a comparison of the SC Mode of the 509 and a Brushstroke 24 (or Paul's Guitar, they both have the narrow Version of the 408 PU's)? And you know...

Only I'd call them: bright, thick bright, thick! I always found it easy dealing with the 513 switching. 509 is like 408 (or brushstroke 24) to me with a middle SC that I do not use alone too much. And though the noise in SC mode might be more on the 513 than on the 509, I liked that SC tone...

Well, there was a limited Edition P 24 trem at the Experience 2013! 2014 (already) the P 24 trem became a production model. I know, not the same kind of money but a very similar feeling.

Thanks for sharing. And interesting too. From my impression the 513's (swamp ash an rosewood) weren't too far from each other soundwise. I'll have to give it a head to head tryout.

9.5-44 in E-Std on my PRS.

You should visit the 513 Thread! Aside from everything said so far, I love the slightly longer scale (25 1/4 instead of 25) and the light HB mode (the SC mode too, of course) over full humbucking. @Dancing Frog would you mind sharing your Impression of the 509 (if it only had the light HB...

Well, wasn't it Mr. Holcomb posting a pic of the maple pieces he picked for his new PRS 8-string? Wonder if it's so many 8-strings in production at the time.
