PRS 513 10 Top Matteo Mist 2009 Electric Guitar

This is a PRS 513 10 Top in Matteo Mist finish. Made in the USA in 2009 this guitar consists of a set-neck construction featuring a Mahogany body with Flamed Maple top, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include lampshade knobs and Phase II style locking tuning machines. This guitar features five PRS 513 single-coil pickups wired to a 5-way pickup selector, 3-way mode selector, volume and tone.

The 513 profile feels chunky without being cumbersome, giving a vintage feeling to this guitar. The Gloss finish to the rear of the neck helps the hand not get stuck when transitioning up and down the neck while the cutaway allows full access to all 22 frets. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, with the standard PRS 10” radius feeling practical for a wide range of playing styles and techniques, allowing legato and lead lines to roll off the fingers in an effortless affair. The unique bird inlays add a touch of luxury to the playing experience whilst allowing easy navigation of the fingerboard.

This guitar features the PRS 513 pickup system which is made up of 5 single Coil pickups giving you access to 13 different sounds. The 5-way pickup selector works how you would expect while the 3-way mode selector rewires the pickup in the bass and treble positions giving you access to ‘Heavy Humbucking Mode’ which sounds powerful and rich, ‘Clear Humbucking Mode’ remaining powerful but retaining clarity and ‘Single Coil Mode’.

Aesthetic Condition:

Headstock: Overall excellent condition, two very light indentations can be identified to the headstock. One to the very tip, and another to the bass side edge beside the A string tuner. These do not pierce the finish. Very light scratching is apparent under direct lighting at certain angles, as is common with high gloss finish.

Neck: Overall excellent condition, it is difficult to discern any markings to the neck and fingerboard. Very light scratching can be seen to the neck. A small finish imperfection can be seen on the bass side edge of the 8th fret.

Body: Overall very good condition, the front face demonstrates two indentations between the pickups and the treble side waist, very slightly piercing the finish. Further very light indentation can be identified across the lower bout, visible only under direct lighting at certain angles. The rear face demonstrates some light buckle rash that does not pierce the finish. The rear bottom edge demonstrates some light scratching and scuffing, visible only under direct lighting at certain angles.

Condition of Frets:

The frets demonstrate light signs of use, with some slight flattening of the crown and indentation throughout the entire register. This does not affect playability. There is considerable material remaining for future fret work.
