The only thing good about the pedal is the boost. It puts your amp into a sweet overdrive.

Goddamn you! I came in here to say something stupid/“funny” and you made cry! Im not a musician but I consider myself a “failed” actor/storyteller and relate to this so much! Love you man! ❤

I play a Revstar RS502T generation 1 in bowden green, love it!

That is a 5420, not a 5120. The pickups and inlays are different on those guitars. Also, Chet Atkins did not have a guitar in the electromatic line. That guitar has nothing to do with Mr Atkins

They are great, I don't not love them, can't get on with Gibson electrics though.

Use a capo to keep tension, start wind on tuner then, or place a strip of electrical tape to hold string ends in place, pull off after strings are tensioned

Your bridge is backwards.

It is Just pedal board, like many others, with effects, no big deal. It is not better then the old eventide h9 max

Wow you described my own relationship with my Gretsch better than I could’ve. I have a Brian Setzer 6120. Every once in a while I rediscover it and fall in love with it. But then I don’t use it because my more boring guitars offer better fret access, better tuning stability, and sound more appropriate for the songs we’re doing. But I keep *wanting* to use it because it’s so damn cool.

It's actually a Roger Mayer Octavia... 😉👍

If you look at other archtop style bridges most of them just have a larger area where the channel only lets the string but not the ball end pass through, so with those you need to push it pretty far back for the ball end to exit and enter.

That sounds.nice with the reverb! That da filmosound? ..is that a pedal reverb with filmosound? Sounds great!

when I have bridges that allow do that I wrap the string at the tuning post tightly, and carefully enough to have them lay on top of each coil other like normal, then put the ball end at the bridge when I've reached that length needed, then slowly tune, and it always seemed ok.

Why is this so funny?

😂

Goddamn it, Im over here in Twitter hell wondering what happened to you and here you are sharing your brilliance with the rest of the world and you didn’t tell me!? Im hurt! Jk Ive been missing you buddy! This channel is awesome btw! I know jack shit about guitars but I do know id watch you do anything!❤

Cool video! Rage Against the machine definitely was my intro to pitch shifting, but my current favorite user of it is the guitarist in Night Verses!

I have this same guitar and can't help thinking this is a none problem. It never ceases to amaze how guitarists who spend hours working on dexterity are shite at using their fingers for anything else.

You're thinking too much on it kid, grab some 🦆-TAPE, WORKS EVERY TIME😊

What’s your tuning

A little wax on the ball end would probably hold them in place while remaining easily removable.

I took mind back something was wrong with it

Anderson’s are an investor in Victory Amp, Chapman Guitars and their own Eastcoast guitars. Makes sense as they are a main retail outlet here in the UK which a massive Online and KZbin following.

Hi, does this guitar have a lot of noise with P-90s? Thanks!

I've recently bought the standard Revstar with p90s. It's by most well-built guitar, and it scratches my itch for something "different." Bottom line: I found a guitar that I like as much as my Strat.

This is the first video I've seen where someone complained about the balancing of the pickups in the Pacifica. I think it's just down to the pickup height, the neck and middle pickup looked to be almost flush to the body of the guitar you played.

I've had this guitar in my cart for 1 week now, I still can justify buying an Indonesian Fender, should be branded as Squier and half the price at least.

Good topic, but need more volume. Yeah just getting into Revstar now, but never ever considered Yamaha for a serious guitar before I discovered Revstar.

playing some BOC

Locking tuners. Pull them tight, lock them. $44 done

I’m looking to buy my first nice guitar and am keyed in on Yamaha. Leaning to the Pacifica, only because I don’t want HH at this time, but it will be a revstar. I can’t find these guitars anywhere to play. What store are you at? Big store or local? Also might go Schecter Nick Johnston. Thanks.

Yeah , I found this to be a bit of an annoyance to, seems like it bothered you a lot more than me . Nice guitar btw it looks exactly like mine. Might have to try this, it’s especially annoying on the high strings with the way I knot my unwound strings.

Since you're in Canada you should check out Tex amps. He builds amazing Vox/Filmosound style combo's that are light years ahead of other builders of this style of amp.

This is cool but why didn't you get a 179 or 385 model?. Those are much better/easier to convert than this one. I have both of those and they sound incredible, as you mention it I also have a '56 Masco ME-27 identical to Rhett Shull.

Sounds awesome dude, nice sparkle to that clean tone as well 🤘

I bought a used Pacifica years ago, and I still I own it. That let me to try the THR amps, and I still own them. The Revstar is next on my list. Yamaha knows sound - they have for years. I don't give a damn where it's from - good is good....period. My Pacifica gives me no problems like my other guitars like truss rod adjustments when the temperature changes, etc. It's my most reliable guitar, hands down.

You did good! Better than all other brands...... have fun with playing that gem! 😊

Geeze, just think this guitar will end up on the used market, and you wont know about the disater under the tail piece until it's too late.

Correct! In Indonesia the RSS20 costs 450 USD!😎

I like Tom, i a big fan of blinks, not sure i should get this guitar or a second hand gibson sg’s with that price point

use a capo, bruh

Came here because I read your Revstar comment over on Cordy's. I liked this topic better, despite owning a Gen2 Revstar. But your shirt is gold. Props from a cis straight dude.

Well that was dumb

i think the major psychological aversion to Yamaha stems from the misunderstanding of howJapanese corporations' function but even I admit having an irrational impression of how great the quality be of guitars made by a company that makes jet-skis ,microwaves ,ice machines, medical incubators for premature babies and massage chairs etc(although the opposit could be argued)

Why am I not playing a Revstar? I actually own the Element and I barely take it out of the case. There's nothing really wrong with it as far as playability. It's the color. I have the swift blue and even though I liked the uniqueness of it at first, I've grown to despise it. The whole color selection up and down the range is absolutely putrid. The best color the offer is copper red, and that's only available in the UK and Europe. Which is absolutely mind boggling. There's also the slider switch which feels cheap, and the high pass filter doesn't do a whole lot, but thats another story. I think that maybe one of the reasons why more people don't play them. Unless you go up the range and spend more money, you're going to be stuck with neon yellow, or an unnatural blue color. Currently black is the best choice they have to offer. It's like what Henry Ford used to say, You can have any color as long as it's black".

I have the same guitar in black and have had no issues with the bridge.

I have the baseline Element model in Swift Blue. It might be the best value, but I'm starting to detest the color. I would very much prefer red or even natural. Also, the slider switch that seems to be pulled directly from aTelecaster. I'm not a fan.

I don’t really understand the issue. When is the string ever so loose that it falls out?

This could be me, very big fix for a small issue. I also have a Revstar and re-stringing is a little annoying. Perhaps just glue a tiny magnet in at the end? the ballend wills tick to it. however i don't know if this would somehow magentize the sring and interfere with the PUs... But, they should have slottet it an an angle...
