  1. And completely marring the appearance. yessir.
  2. Nope, the 513 PU's are proprietary sized and routed. You would have to route the guitar to use traditional humbuckers and even have to route it to use a Strat-style single coil. And even after the route, there would be remains of the old pickup routes at the ends,. that's exactly my point. its POSSIBLE. yes difficult, but possible if you feel like routing and changing out the entire wiring scheme
  3. I thought about this some more and got to thinking - I mean, technically you could put any kind of pickups and any kind of wiring into any kind of guitar you want... If you wanted, you could rip out those pickups, put in 2 'buckers and a single coil and just throw a normal 5-way switch in there and change the 3-way to a mini toggle to split the 'buckers. But in this case, the 513 is all about those pickups and that switching capability. Take that away and you no longer have a 513 - you just have a sweet PRS with aftermarket PUPs in it. So i guess to simply answer your question, you could put whatever pickups in there you want, but you probably will have to change the rest of the wiring, too. But, it could be done. I mean, I don't see why it couldn't. It just wouldn't be a "513."
  4. Yea those pickups are so specialized I highly doubt you will be able to find replacement PUPS, let alone someone who won't charge you an arm and a leg to figure out how to wire it. The whole "thing" to those 513s are the pickups and the switching versatility.
  5. I hear ya... Registered with TGP a few weeks ago and have been spending more time there
  6. Which part? I'd be happy to elaborate. We're not talking about music. We're talking about rap. Where people rhyme made up words over top of someone else's music. You know... like for shizzle my nizzle. What is a nizzle anyway? dude- go be a maga zord somewhere else
  7. Those damned new fangled automatic mobiles. They'll never take off. Nothing can ever replace the horse and buggy. Yeah. I never got to see Beethoven, My GOD, perform. I never will. But you'd better believe if they had the technology back then to capture one of his performances, and then present it in modern day as a hologram performance, I would sell a kidney to go see it! Say, His debut of The ninth symphony in which he guest conducted while being totally deaf, you bet your ass I would sell a kidney to go see it. It is just technology. I believe just about all conceivable mediums are fair game for presenting art. How freeking cool is that we have the ability to see a virtual performance of something that would have been impossible before the technology. Look at it this way..... Why is it perfectly acceptable to go see a two dimensional performance of a concert, otherwise known as video, but add a third dimension and all of a sudden it is {censored}? Pretty narrow minded thinking if you ask me. Careful y'all don't get too close to the edge of the world. You might fall off. Cause a music video won't cost me $100 for nosebleed seats but I see your point. I'm not criticizing the technology as much as greed I guess
  8. You can learn a lot if you open up your ears. +1 all things aside, listen to music for what it is, not for what you think it should be
  9. So I just got into a fairly heated debate with one of my room mates over this... I dont know if any of you saw it, but at Cochella this year, they "revealed" a hologram of Tupac rapping on stage. My room mate thinks its awesome and insists they start making full bands come back to life. I think its retarded. Why do I want to go to a concert and see a hologram "perform?" They won't be playing their real instruments, all you will hear is the album recording over the PA. Let the legends rest in peace. They were so great because they were human- they had limited time on this earth. TLDR; holograms are dumb
  10. $7500 reward?!?! hell I should have stolen them and just returned 'em for the reward then I could have gone out and bought any one of those guitars...
  11. anyone remember these? Its the Noell Gallagher signature Epi. never really cared for him or Oasis, but I always dug that color. Ended up getting an alpine white Epi LP custom instead
  12. Woah! ^^^ Mind = blown! I cant believe i never thought of that
  13. carpet sharpening technique. Go on...
  14. The sharps are great! They're like a magnet for strings. Which is awesome for leads but I eventually realized that pointed picks didn't feel right to me for rhythm. Have you noticed that at all or are you completely used to them? Yeah, I'm always experimenting with picks. It's cheap and fun. I LOVE the ultex sharps! use them for everything- rhythm and leads. when I play, I tend to hold it so there is only a tiny tiny bit of the pick showing that I pick with. so when I do fast rhythm sections, I end up strumming a lot of it with the top of my right index finger. my only gripe about them is that after a few shows or rehearsals they lose their sharp edge. i throw them away when they get too stubby
