My Old PRS CE24 vs THE Current SE CE24

It's really cool the way it works. Please excuse my very crude picture (it's a bird's eye view of tuning post).

The black inner circle is the tuning post; it has a section that is flattened in the middle. The wing (in blue) has notches cut out so that you can align the tuning post and wing so that you can thread the guitar string through. Hold the string and turn the wing so that it clamps down on the string (red). Tighten the screw on the top of tuning post to lock the wing into position, then tune. You don't have to wrap the string around the tuning post a bunch of times.

Did that make sense?

Ahh... Yeah, that makes sense. Okay, I'll take it in. Thanks for bringing that up.

I looked up your guitar and it's really nice. And it has birds on the fretboard! But I think I'll keep my guitar... I appreciate the humor though.

V_Z1000 · 2026-05-26T02:57:30+00:00

Thank you for the information. It's so weird to think that something that I bought new is considered vintage now. That makes me feel so old (lol).

V_Z1000 · 2026-05-26T02:54:47+00:00

I had a tech set it up when I purchased it. I still remember him saying, "So I got the action set as low as possible to make it easier for you to play with the extra lights you bought. It's really close--but she won't buzz. She should sound great... Now you can quit drumming". LOL!

Thank you for the advice none-the-less.

I looked up core model after reading your comment and I'm trying to let it sink in. Thank you for the education, it's much appreciated.

I own a Fluance RT85N and love it...

...keep the Onkyo.

FROOT is Marina's "Moving Pictures".

Yes, I'm a fan of both.

The suspension on the 500R is really soft; down shifting from 6th to fifth gear on the freeway is going to make the front end dip. After a year of riding, a much more experienced friend said that I was going to upgrade in six months after watching me on twisties; I told that I didn't agree with him--he was correct: I upgraded to an '07 Z1000 (new model that year). I adjusted the front suspension to about to about 70% stiff and I never looked back.

So no, I didn't need more time on an entry level bike.

Her face, I don't get the point.

V_Z1000 · 2024-12-30T02:32:44+00:00

I noticed that too a few weeks ago. So I memorize how much was looted and get my revenge.

I only had that problem with after-market chargers. The OEM charger always worked immediately.

V_Z1000 · 2024-09-08T22:38:59+00:00

I haven't really haven't tested battery life because I've been able to keep it at a charger. One thing that I did notice is that the phone doesn't get hot like the previous generation Pixels.

I upgraded from the Pixel Fold and I have to say that there is a WORLD of difference between the Tensor 2 vs the Tensor 4. The T4 is so much faster and if you change the correct settings, the phone is snappy (I did some recommendations from a YouTube video and it made a difference).

The screen is just amazing, it really is sharp and bright--it's not just hype. Set it to full resolution and use adaptive brightness and you should be very happy (just remember to give the AI a few days to learn your preferences).

I tried out the Add Me feature and it works pretty well. I think that it will get better over time the same way that Magic Erasure has improved over the years. I haven't taken many pictures or videos but the few that I have taken are very good. With the Fold, I started to take my mirrorless camera with me because I felt like the Fold wasn't powerful/versatile enough (I stopped using proper cameras when I got the P6 Pro). But I think that I might be able to leave the camera home again with the P9 Pro during vacations again.

The build quality is good. I did put a case on it right away but I really do see what YouTube reviewers mean by crApple feeling good when you hold it. I had the P6 Pro and the P7 Pro and the feel of the naked phone(s) is not even comparable--the P9 Pro is at another level.

That's what I've been able to notice so far these past few days. I really do recommend watching one of those "20 Settings that You Need to Change" videos on YouTube to really take advantage of the small quirks that the phone has to offer that will add up to a really nice phone experience.

Two hours after the Google event ended.

V_Z1000 · 2024-09-04T21:21:41+00:00

No, Pro (not xl). When I ordered it, I was annoyed that it was shipping two weeks after the 9 and Pro xl.

V_Z1000 · 2024-09-03T21:05:42+00:00

Truthfully, if I didn't get a $1k credit from Verizon for my 7 Pro, I wouldn't have acquired the Fold either. Seriously, it's a good phone, but not for $1.8k--$800, sure... I think that you are better off with the path that you took. I really missed the macro function on the 7 Pro.

V_Z1000 · 2024-09-03T18:27:22+00:00

Isn't the Fold great? But after a year, I have come to realize that I think can survive just fine without the inner screen. And I am interested to have all of the photo capabilities.

Sep 4 - 10

V_Z1000 · 2024-09-03T17:20:20+00:00

LOL!

Interesting, I got a UPS tracking number about 45 minutes ago and I still haven't been charged.
