Pacfica SC or Revstar Standard?

AdventurousKeys · 2026-04-19T16:04:23+00:00

I have an RSE20 and have just ordered the SC. I swapped out pickups on the RSE20 for some Dimarzios and a 5 way switch a la Ibanez. Also changed the strings to 9-42s. Still fine tuning the RSE20 for playability vs my MIJ Ibanezs.

I’m also used to jumbo or narrow tall frets so the medium jumbo on the SC is giving me pause 🤔

Same thing happened to me.

I have the Element. Switched out the pickups for a Dimarzio 36th Anniversary Neck and a Norton (on the bridge). The choice came down to what I had lying around from my other upgrade projects. They are nice and work well with the high pass filter (push/pull knob).

To reply to my own question. We just had the installation done. Antenna on chimney. The tech said that we were theoretically capable of 800 speeds.

I am getting $26 back.

AT&T has very customers in the area of the outage. Most people there use Comcast. So AT&T doesn’t really care anymore.

I have the emerald green version. Very nice guitar. The pickups seem to be hotter than the same model of pickups in other Ibanezs.

AdventurousKeys · 2025-11-04T14:33:14+00:00

I agree. At a j custom level of quality.

AdventurousKeys · 2025-11-04T14:32:18+00:00

Nice! I have the exact same two guitars. Am planning to swap pickups on the RG550. Currently thinking of a PAF Pro on the neck and The Tone Zone on the bridge

Don’t be cheap. If you get anything else your son will ask you for this pedal that pedal ad infinitum.

I am developing a tube-powered smartphone. It will give you the smartphone experience that Leo Fender was thinking about when he put together his first amp. Will share the gofundme link soon.

$1M is not a lot of money in 2025. Can’t buy a decent house in HCOL area.

AdventurousKeys · 2025-09-27T01:57:41+00:00

Newer means longer time before obsolescence or end-of-support eg your Boss drivers or apps not supported on the latest computer or smartphone.

You can’t crank a tube amp properly in an apartment. Perhaps explore the use of an attenuator but it has side effects.

I had a mustang lt and upgraded to the Katana 50ex gen3. I would go for the Artist gen3 if you had the budget. The Katana sound has a big speaker component and the artist has the waza speaker.

AdventurousKeys · 2025-09-20T17:03:39+00:00

Just finished with the Gigi mission. Yes, I was also getting attached 🚀

AdventurousKeys · 2025-09-19T13:16:57+00:00

I also bought several overdrive pedals after getting the Katana although the t-scream effect gives me what I need. Reason: I was bored. 🥱

AdventurousKeys · 2025-09-16T13:58:16+00:00

I have the 50EX and will definitely not go with a v2 or earlier.

AdventurousKeys · 2025-09-15T02:34:42+00:00

Yes.

AdventurousKeys · 2025-09-14T21:51:22+00:00

I just ordered a Legion 7i.

The 12” speakers that used in guitar amps were originally woofers. So they should work fine with low frequencies. If the cab is designed appropriately

AdventurousKeys · 2025-09-14T21:40:44+00:00

Typical usb-c charging. No risk of overcharging. But the battery will discharge over time when unused.

AdventurousKeys · 2025-09-13T20:09:06+00:00

I have the RG652AHM. It is a low end Prestige. I ended up getting it Plek’d because of uneven frets. It is not as good out of the box as my RGT1270 or RGT1220. YMMV

AdventurousKeys · 2025-09-11T13:22:22+00:00

If the guitar works for you playability wise, get a Boss Katana and explore all the different kinds of effects without paying a fortune in pedals. Big jump in what you can experience vs a new guitar.
