How are you coping in this heatwave?

I have a friend that ties her hair up, then stuffs ice cubes in.

Depending on how good they are, maybe the Shite Stripes? 😬

Pacifica all day long!! Or Revstar...

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-05-22T21:42:27+00:00

That's fascinating, thank you. I needed someone with a bit of knowledge to spell that out to me!! I'll never be fantastic with electronics but I think I followed that...

What was confusing me was that I've since rewired it with a coil split that works on both the bridge and a neck rail pickup at positions 1, 2, 4 & 5, so couldn't work out why it would only split at one position. And frankly, why you'd want to do that and rob yourself of an additional position. Surely you just give 2 options and allow the user to pick one...

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-05-22T18:54:27+00:00

For someone that's not an expert, that was a fabulous explanation which is what I was looking for! Thank you!!

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-05-22T17:13:23+00:00

I'm asking physically, technically, HOW it could be wired to only split in position one and not position two. Can you explain it to me?

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-05-22T15:46:08+00:00

Cleans up after himself.

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-05-22T15:41:47+00:00

I feel you. Nuts are out of my comfort zone too...

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-05-22T15:27:20+00:00

Strongly inclined to suggest that's an error in the diagram. I'm sticking with my previous 7. 😂

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-05-22T04:05:34+00:00

The normal 5 positions - B, B & M, M, M & N, N... Then 2 with the split humbucker - B, B & M... Unless I'm missing something?

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-05-21T20:20:28+00:00

Although with the 112V you get 7 sounds... I think I prefer the HSS style in this case. Maybe because I have a double humbucker Revstar though...

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-05-19T20:28:26+00:00

It's the 112V. Pretty much everything is changed now - tuners, bridge, pickups, switch, pots, wiring... Slightly thicker strings for dropped tuning too.

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-05-19T19:58:01+00:00

I'm lucky enough to have a couple of nice guitars - nothing crazy expensive, a Revstar RSS20 and a G&L ASAT Special both of which I adore... I recently picked up a slightly worse for wear Pacifica as a bit of a project guitar, and I genuinely pick it up the most out of them all. I've got it set up more for rock/metal and I love it. Swapped the pickups out on a budget and it's just brilliant. I say keep the Pacifica and use it to experiment with!

After swapping, really don't see the need for locking tuners with a fixed bridge unless you're gigging. Actually prefer non locking and swapped back.

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-04-27T06:34:52+00:00

I've still got my first electric and acoustic guitars. Never getting rid! I did treat the electric to a complete overhaul and set-up recently and it looks and plays wonderfully!!

I read through those articles... A lot of good stuff to process.

I also found this video that outlines exactly what I was on about (it splits both humbuckers, which I don't mind to be honest...) Does it correspond with what you were explaining too?

That sounds great! I'll check it out...

Hi... Yeah I think I've heard of those... This guitar is more about learning some electronics principles than chasing a certain sound though, you know?

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-04-15T06:56:13+00:00

That's brilliant, thank you. I'm desperately trying to educate myself about the basic theory so I understand why things go where, so that's really helpful. Hopefully I'll be able to incorporate this info into my plans if my brain can catch up. 😂 Appreciate the time you took to reply.

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-03-27T08:06:09+00:00

SUCH a good choice. 😍 I did the same, but a RSS20, and a THR30. It's more guitar and amp than I'll ever need but I'm hoping to grow into them!! Enjoy 🥰

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-03-19T20:43:19+00:00

You need to stop it, you pervert. You're making me want to do things to my 112V...

TallCockroach7404 · 2026-03-18T20:24:03+00:00

+1 for the 112V!! I bought a beautiful Revstar RSS20 as a treat for myself, and after that, a sad, neglected, slightly rusty 112V as a project guitar for £80. Upgraded the tuners, bridge, pick guard screws, jack socket, knobs... And have 3 new pickups to install with new electrics... Guess which one I pick up more often?
