Erv, you are correct in that the A# (Bb) adds a seventh to the C chord. The combination of all the notes includes the seventh and the 13th (A). The A serves as both the 6th and the 13th of the C scale and, combined with the 7th, it can be regarded and used as a 13th chord. The lack of the 9th and the 11th in this particular formation leaves us with a partial 13th chord and this is a common situation with Spanish guitars and other stringed instruments that make it difficult or impossible to play all the notes of a given chord.

On my T8 Stringmaster, I have:
inner neck - C13 (from top) G E C A G E Bb G
middle neck - E7 (standard)
outer neck - Jules Ah See B11 - E C# A F# D# B F$ B
I sometime tune the C13 to C13/A7 by moving the bottom sting to A and the Bb to C#.
