Thanks telling us about your modding project of your Pacifica. I hope that you are going to keep us up to date on your progress and I am going to follow it with interest.

I'll try not to make this too long (and boring). My learning journey started with a Yamaha Pacifica Santa brought me after I retired. After several months of practice I reasoned that I wasn't yet playing like Carlos Santana was because I had a cheap guitar. So I bought a Gibson Les Paul and Fender Blues Junior amp. After a few more months (and still not playing like Carlos) I picked up the little Pacifica and it played great!

I decided that I would mod the Pacifica and bought a set of Texas Loco Iron Gear Pickups, . I reasoned it plays nice but it could use some help with tone. The problem is that I have had them now for months and have procrastinated installing them.

Maybe your progress will motivate me to get them installed! I hope so. My Pacifica is also the HSS model.
