solved my problem for a backup with a NOS '12 513:

it was so nice to take it out of the box, catch a buzz on the new case whiff, slap on new strings, and take it to a gig
:rock:
 
that is a beautiful score and an awesome pair, does the faded blue has an ebony FB? it looks darker
than the rosewood on your new acquisition.

Congrats and enjoy both
 
Yes indeed! I played a 513 for the first time recently and it was unreal the diversity of tone it offered. Now I can add that to my list of PRS wants.

I lusted after the cu24 for 20+ years before my bride bought me my holy grail, my first PRS. And to those who've noticed my ever expanding and contracting signature due to buying and selling/trading, I still own that first PRS in its original configuration. I have owned and loved a bunch of "traditional " PRS offerings, cu22, cu24, HBII, etc, it's the newer gear that've been released in the last 10 or so years that amaze me. The PRS braintrust that has brought us the amps, 305, 408, 513, the SE, S2, the pickups! OMG the pups have just been sick! Most of the other guitar brands may have 2-3 models that interest me, if any at all. PRS is the only one that has more models than I could possibly be able own all at once. my only regret is not having the opportunity 20 years ago to buy a SE or S2, nor the funds to afford a core model.

PRS use to be the Corvette of guitars, it had an older more affluent customer base. Now it still sells Corvettes, but also has Camaros, trucks, SUVs and a shop on site to add rims, super chargers and sound systems. It's safe to say the customer base has broadened over three decades.
 
@watelessness: Nice pair of 513s, indeed!!!

I suggest you wanted an exact back-up guitar due to the fact you purchased the same 513 MT but in different colour.
 
Dude...that's a sweet pair of 513's Congrats man!! Thought for sure at first you got the one that's been at parkway music for quite some time! The new one you got looks sweet!!
 
Thanks for all the comments, guys!


... does the faded blue has an ebony FB? it looks darker
than the rosewood on your new acquisition...
both are IRW


Shoulda held out til your 1000th post...
DOH!!!!! never thought to look at that

Nice backup.
Though I'm not sure I needed to know we're supposed to have spares of good guitars.
Yeah, about that...

...I suggest you wanted an exact back-up guitar due to the fact you purchased the same 513 MT but in different colour.
Color was immaterial, but exact backup was tantamount. i could not fit in the right sonic space with anything else on my wall. i just don't have the finger strength to make the others quack as much as i need for my roll as second gitfiddle

...Thought for sure at first you got the one that's been at parkway music for quite some time!
hah! that one has been there for almost 4 years and i've come close several times. but i found a screaming deal on this NOS. Plus, leaving that gorgeous tiger eye quilt on the wall to taunt Matt is fun!

Very cool. Were you a boyscout when you were younger? : wave:
indeed i was!

Congrats SWEET guitar , I might need a 513 someday
far be it for me to be an enabler, but you can probably cover all the ground of the 513 with your 305 and CU24. but if you want to cover it with just one guitar... just sayin'...
 
Oh yeah! Are you gonna switch 'em up once in awhile so they both get some love?
