LukeFRC Posted December 1, 2025 Posted December 1, 2025 Coming from the light side (basschat) and after having a friend of a friend show me how to get the most from my hx stomp, the other week I picked up an electric to try and learn… it’s from 1990 weighs less than 3kg and has switches on both knobs that makes it sound different- learning needs to happen ! 2 Quote
ezbass Posted December 2, 2025 Posted December 2, 2025 That’s a very fine guitar, good choice. 1 Quote
EliasMooseblaster Posted December 2, 2025 Posted December 2, 2025 Looks like a nice bit of kit. Hope you have fun learning on it! 1 Quote
warwickhunt Posted December 2, 2025 Posted December 2, 2025 Coil taps or coil splitters for each pup? Quote
LukeFRC Posted December 2, 2025 Author Posted December 2, 2025 6 hours ago, warwickhunt said: Coil taps or coil splitters for each pup? soooo - I don't know - and Godin don't have a wiring diagram for the earlier ones of these with two switches - and say "Both are mid range filters which cut half the dB level at 600 Hz." but the circuit is a fair bit simpler than the one they used on the one switch version. It seems to go between series and parallel - but in parallel it has a capacitor on one of the coils.... So it goes from a kinda humbucker type sound to a thinner kinda single coil type sound. Quote
EdwardMarlowe Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Quality stuff, Godin, and you don't see so many of them around. I think this is A Godin Artisan TC - either a I or a II. Don't know about the wiring. 90s era models, no longer in production. The Artisan line were superstrat and supertele types. The Ts came with sc-size, dual rail humbuckers as standard, but I have no idea how they were wired. Seems likely there was some kind of tap option at the time. (I remember a lot of guitars back then in this sort of genre came with tapped buckers, the marketing blurb being they could sound like either buckers or scs.) Is the selector a 3 or 5 way? Quote
