JGale Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) 2006 Yamaha Pacifica 812V. Serial QMM0280R, Alder body, Maple cap, bolt on maple neck, rosewood board, Spertzel locking tuners, Super-Vee tremolo, body cavities shielded with combination of nickel paint and foil. HSS pickup set, Gravelin MongooseT bridge, Duncan SSL-1 single coils. Neck is 14" radius with 42/21.5 mm @ nut and 51.6/23.3 @ 12th fret. This shallow "C" has broader shoulders than it's PAC604W sister. Fills the hand a bit more. Electrics rewired. CTS SPST push-pull pots: Tone splits bridge to inner coil, Volume adds the neck pickup to any combination. Lots of sounds, all various and different! There are scratches and dings. The weight is 8.0 lbs. The acoustic voice is forward with a touch of brightness. Plugged in it's more rock than jazz. The MongooseT splits very well. It's hot, but way more usable than the stock JB. The hardshell case is cheap, but new. Xotics "Raw Vintage" trem springs. There is a six pack of alternate knobs in the case to accent your current accoutrement ensemble. The OEM bridge was replaced because it buzzed like a sitar. It's in the case. $700 shipped. Edited June 3, 2023 by JGale 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golem Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Someone's going to get a killer deal. I'm interested but can't pull the trigger to January due to travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stike Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Nice upgrades and it kind of reminds me of the new Suhr Pete Thorn signature guitar. GLWTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I thought you decided to keep it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGale Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 I had and I try not to play it too often less I waiver, but I have to thin out the collection. I still have the 904, 604W, 512 (next up), 312 and 112 along with two P-90 Godin's (one in each scale), Godin LGX, Hamer 25th, 78 Special and a Wraptail. Too much.

Too much. that's the only reason I haven't jumped on it: herd in desperate need of thinking. I've got 16 keepers I want to get down to just 10, just so I have a more manageable rotation, only the best of the best. This one is very pretty and I'm sure sounds great, but I'd have to get the neck scalloped and refretted for it to have a chance. Too much hassle when I already have 16 identified "keepers" and want to get down to 10. (the 16 keepers don't even include the Diablo or Salmon Blush Cali...that's how much I like scalloped fretboards and stainless steel frets). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGale Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 Off to the same shop as the Studio Custom. Local recluse with the magic touch located! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGale Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 Back from the shop. Minor adjustments for improved playability. This guy is good at setups! JeffRo last did the frets, so nothing was needed there. Gravelin Mongoose T bridge gives an incredible split HB as Strat Single Coil, so ima wire it split in position #1, pull the Tone for hellaciousness. Duncan SSL-1 singles, pull Volume adds the neck to positions #1 and #2. Super Vee bridge with their brass block in the case. I bought this from Germany during the height of the pandemic and did the upgrades ‘cuz that’s my idea of fun. Needs a good home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I can vouch for the Mongoose. My Charvel has a Mongoose bridge with a push/pull split so I can do full, split, full with middle single, and split with middle single. It’s tits. Someone buy this guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGale Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Last call in this configuration. I am pulling the Mongoose for a nickel covered F-spaced Screamin’ Demon then off to the ‘verb. Plays really nice with the fresh setup… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
