I'm curious if they actually mean coil tap or coil split, a lot of people get that mixed up, and with a humbucker, I'd bet its more likely a coil split. don't really know why you'd want a coil tap with a humbucker in the bridge.

It is a coil split. what that does is disable a coil on the humbucker to make it sound like a single coil. I like coil split sounds, but you could mod a cheaper guitar for coil split for less money, if you're into that. If you're not comfortable with a soldering iron and really want the coil split sound, then go for it. either way, you can't go wrong with a pacifica.
