It’s all good now, thanks.

Yes, that's a 9V battery compartment.

Ok, I've just realised how blonde I've been: the volume/tone and pick-up selector knobs were stopping the control panel from lifting off. They just pull off and then all is fine.

Unfortunately, the switch and pot are soldered into the PCB board, which would make it a bit trickier to replace them. I'm pretty happy with soldering wires but I've never tackled a PCB board.

Thanks for the suggestion. The bit with the strings in is separate.

Here's a Dropbox link to a video of me gingerly pulling the control plate around (which wouldn't upload to Lemmy, in the OP). https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v7n74q9m252hxrc17f7eb/IMG_0808.mp4?rlkey=qau7d4zum0qswswwngkivenvc&dl=0

The problem is that you can’t send from Hide My Email, except in a reply.

I use it a lot but if I think that I’ll need to contact by email by the HME address, I use one of my AppleID aliases.

No, Orange do full-size separate heads and cabs

Me too. It looks quite normal now and, yes, is great for file organisation.

Yes, I think the US pint is 16 Oz (2 cups), whereas the UK pint is 20 Oz (4 gills).

Yes, that shouldn’t be too bad.

I went nuts and did humbucker coil splits, out of phase and serial (on an HH with 2 vols & 2 tones). The coil split doesn’t really sound all that much like single coil to me. Just a bit quieter. The series switching sounds good (fuller, brighter?) If you use crocodile clips, or temporary connectors (e.g. Wago clips) you might be able to try different re-wire options before committing to soldering.

I used Bourne https://www.bourns.com/docs/product-datasheets/PDB183-GTR.pdf which look similar to yours. The terminal pins were pretty small and hard to work with. The CTS ones are supposed to be easier, but I don’t think that they do push-push.

Have fun

Good idea to go for push-push over push pull. I have them on different guitars and push-push is quicker and easier.

I haven’t found any manufacturers that do push-push with triple pole double throw, though.

I also put a free-way pup selector on a strat copy, which is an alternative to switchable pots. https://sixstringsupplies.co.uk/collections/guitar-switches/brand_free-way

See what you mean: the Yamaha Revstar doesn’t have Yamaha on the headstock, but does have the tuning forks.

But other Yamahas don’t have the tuning forks but do say Yamaha. Eg. https://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/guitars_basses/el_guitars/sg/index.html

I think there was a period, pre Revstar, when motorbikes had the tuning forks but none of the Yamaha guitars did.

Yamaha makes lots of other musical instruments too.

The thing that puzzles me is that the Yamaha logo, 3 tuning forks, makes sense for instruments that you tune. But I’ve only seen it on their motorbikes.
