513 Rosewood, now with extra rosewood

[Anachronism]

I added wood knobs and switch tips to my 513. That is all.

Nice! Nothing like a rosewood 513

There’s never a thing like too much rosewood. It’s like cowbell

I have huge GAS for a Rosewood neck 513.

Anyone ever compare one of those with a RW-neck MEV? Because I have one of the latter, and I am most curious how the pickups compare (being the biggest difference, I suppose).

very tasty , like chocolate and raspberry's .. now it would be WAY slick to have pickup covers to match /contrast the top .. like Guilfords

I agree, and I have those covers on my (non-Fender) strat, but alas, they are not an option for the 513.

you can make them , an afternoons work not counting the finish ...it would be WAY easier than most as there are only 2 holes to deal with

Uih, the first year. Did you ever check the PCB?
2005 was already Revision B mounted.

Hi, mates,
Following is a contemporary ebay offer depicting a 513 RW.
Interesting is not the guitar itself, the flamed top is typical standard for the production year and whole first edition. Neither the description stating it is of Japanese origin. Aswell the term Jacaranda neck lift eyebrows.
Jaracanda is rosewood, which grows between Mexico and Brasil, predominately in Brasil. Hence would could call it BRW.
Interesting is the CITES paperwork by PRS as case candy.
PRS 513 RW, produced between 2004 and 2007, are not free of undoubted statements regarding the neck material. I know PRS officials, that state that officially to Europe imported PRS 513 RW without CITES docs have IRW necks.
