My horse, Lola. She’s an amazing 9yo grey quarter horse mare. “Retired” barrel racer, she’s the perfect trail/ranch horse. She’s got the best quirky and silly demeanor, she loves to hang out, and she’s playful, but never gets crazy under saddle.

My guitar. 2012 PRS 513. I absolutely love that guitar, and it got me back into playing after almost 20 years off. It’s my “do everything” guitar, and the difference in sounds between pickup combinations makes it incredibly versatile.

A good mattress. I spend a solid 1/3 of my life sleeping (or trying to) and a great mattress helps so much.

Absolutely phenomenal. They totally nailed it. The vocals of Clare Torry on that track added so much to the emotion in it, and they captured that very well on the slide.

No more mob tagging. Seriously, why? Competing for the same mob with 500 people is insane.
Built-in quest locations and map markers. No need for questie.
Customizable default UI. Let me move things.
Then once the QoL items, which exist in the retail client already anyway, are implemented you can start adding “new” instances, raids, etc.

I feel like a good neck pickup can give you warm, rich tones that are more difficult to get with a bridge pickup.
Swapping from lead/melody to rhythm/chorus on neck to bridge gives a lot of feeling to the tone, imo.
CarrierLost 10 months ago • 100%
Thanks! Yeah the bridge pickup is really impressive. It definitely has chugs, but still rings each note through in chords under distortion.
The Alpha is also really nice as well, strong pick attack and keeping the thick glassy tones of most neck pickups.

The SE line is an awesome platform, but the electronics are for sure a weak point. They’re GOOD, but not GREAT. A pickup swap is a great step forward.
Decided to try my hand at a pickup swap. I ordered Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb Alpha and Omega pickups, an adjustable soldering iron, and watched about half a dozen YouTube videos. I’m fairly handy, but I’ve never soldered anything before. This was an entirely new experience for me, but I figured worst case I could take it to a shop and have them fix it. So let’s get started! ![Strings off](https://i.imgur.com/dEXgk9u.jpg) Strings off! Going to change the strings anyway, so they come off first. It’ll make things way easier to deal with, too. ![Back cover off](https://i.imgur.com/mTFwGt1.jpg) Pull the back cover and check it out. I pulled out the tone pot, which is a push/pull unit on the PRS CU24SE, and compared the wiring diagram I downloaded from PRS and the one that came in the package with the new pickups. I had a pretty good idea what I was looking at, so it was time to start taking things apart. ![Stock wiring](https://i.imgur.com/owhggK9.jpg) This is the stock wiring. Going to start desoldering things now. ![Bridge pickup out](https://i.imgur.com/2LfyJ1I.jpg) Bridge pickup is out! Stock pickup came out very easily. Just heated up the solder blob and out she came. ![New pickup wired in](https://i.imgur.com/bqP9bAm.jpg) New bridge in. Took me a few tries to get the new solder blob nice and neat, but it went in very easily as well. ![Pickup in.](https://i.imgur.com/DqcWr1G.jpg) Tested it out, and the coil splitting works! Got it on the first try. The instructions are perfect! ![Neck pickup in](https://i.imgur.com/8E4PhDU.jpg) Now for the neck. First one was easy, so I was more confident with the neck pickup. ![Mounted up and tested out well.](https://i.imgur.com/htt8wV5.jpg) All mounted up and tested out. Everything is awesome! ![Tidy up the wiring](https://i.imgur.com/SunRmbx.jpg) Tidy up the wiring a little and close up the back. Put the new strings on, level and set the pickup height, then let it rip! ![All done](https://i.imgur.com/sKY1IBu.jpg) That’s it! All done. I was really surprised at how easy it actually was. If your thinking about trying it out, go for it. The new pickups are phenomenal, and I feel like they’ve elevated the rest of the guitar. The PRS SE lines are really good as is, but I felt like the pickups were a weak link in an otherwise awesome guitar. The Alpha/Omega set are really good. A lot of clarity in the cleans while keeping articulation with distortion. Great addition overall.

You didn’t fuck up.
One more time: You didn’t fuck up.
You’re learning. Your style and sound will evolve. You’ll end up with way more guitars than you think, and you’ll always have the opportunity to grow ,change, and adapt as your gear and taste expands.
Play it, experiment with what it can do and learn to love the imperfections. They give you “your sound”.

What’s considered a short book vs a long book?
I am a voracious reader and can go through a dozen 400-500 page books a year. 700+ pages is where I really feel like I can get into a story.
Problem is, there just aren’t that many 1000+ page books anymore in the genres I enjoy the most. I’ll see mostly book series of 3-5 books all in the 400-500 page range, and I can devour several different entire series over the course of a year.

Not much interest, especially after seeing the streams of players testing it. Classic era players in particular seem to min/max the fun out of everything, and I don’t see this going much differently.

The community content makes it absolutely worth it, and I highly recommend it. Fair warning, it IS community created content. I've had to re-chart and submit updates to some of the song charts on there, but I also feel like that's helped me become a better musician as well. Knowing the song well enough that I can tell when it's wrong and then I get to use (ToneLib-Jam, for me personally) another piece of the toolkit to fix it and resubmit.

I use it with my focusrite scarlet (2i2 2nd gen) via asio on W11 and it works fine. Running it in windowed mode lets you set the resolution and put it anywhere on your screen you want.
There are lots of walkthroughs online on how you can set up asio. Modding it consists of replacing a single DLL and then adding your settings to a text file.
If you’ve got big boy audio gear, my assumption is that you’re not using RS for learning to play. It’s awesome for picking up new songs or just playing along with songs you love.

Kinda? Someone can correct/add on to this but:
FA = Fender Alternative series (“beginner” series/line) -laminate guitars of pressed fiber
CD = Classic Design series - spruce tops, mahogany body
PD = Paramount series -solid mahogany wood top and body
The “E” At the end means they’re electric (likely Fishman pickups)
Dreadnought will be the body shape. This is the big American acoustic shape with deep low end.
Not sure what the individual numbers mean.

2012 PRS 513 The 513 was, to me, one of the most interesting guitars to roll out of the PRS shop. Boasting a unique pickup and wiring arrangement, it allows for incredible diversity in selecting and splitting pickups. With 5 single coils and unique wiring, the 513 is able to deliver everything from single coil twang to humbucker crunch, in 13 total combinations. 5 coils, with 13 different configurations, the 513 is my personal "do it all" instrument. ![Image](https://i.imgur.com/XNIyNu8.jpg) ![image2](https://i.imgur.com/j0HC6PH.jpg) ![image3](https://i.imgur.com/vNp1KNQ.jpg) ![image4](https://i.imgur.com/RuKXZNJ.jpg)
This guitar was built by my brother-in-law back in 1999. Third guitar he ever built. The back and sides are hand scraped rosewood from a stump in his yard while he was living in São Paulo, where he learned to build guitars. It was originally given to his father, but was passed along to me as one of the only guitar players in the family.

My 2014 Multistrada Granturismo at one of the viewpoints near Petit Jean River Valley in Arkansas. Took a couple day trip through the Ozarks. This is the one I’ve kept the longest. Been through half a dozen supersports and a couple track bikes, but this one always stays.
