UTILIZATION

This guitar is equipped with a sustain rare for a guitar neck is screwed and the al exellence of wood used, but also has impeccable violin making that is only found on guitars that are two times more.
the handle has a total playing comfort, profile and finesse both agree that rhythmic solo
Its use is facilitated by chamfers many but it is relatively heavy which n is the consideration for the quality of the wood species used
This gives excellent sound very easily with no frills

SOUNDS

I play mainly Stevie Ray Vaughan and van halen and it should parfaitment for all sounds that can be hoped for (except jazz)
the crystalline sound vaughan through the funk to the sound of a fat joe perry or EVH IT INSURED IN ALL AREAS keeping its personality

OVERALL OPINION

The value for money is amazing and for less than 800euros was an instrument of professional quality, I do not find any fault him and I do it again without hesitation and this choice rather 2 TIMES THAT ONE

The Pacifica is the premium fabrications Korean Yamaha.
Its characteristics have already been mentioned in the previous opinion, I will not go.
I will add just that SH4 is splittable over the tone knob which happens to be a push-pull.

Side equipment, it is true that the service is exceptional for the price (700 euros new mid-2004), I will not hesitate to say that we have is a stratabound doped to less than a half US Fender.

I will, however, a downside because when you open the back cover, installation-mail is not the cleanest unfortunately. There are so few solder bridges approximate and for reasons of economy, no doubt, there are two ground points ... a spring on the support of the bridge, another on the volume knob if I remember correctly. This "detail" that seems trivial in the long run is annoying because it often has parasites by touching the lever of vibrato.
I therefore intend to rewire itself by slightly changing the combinations of microphones in the process.

I put 8 / 10 for this mass defect is unfortunately too common in many luthiers, even famous.

UTILIZATION

The neck was the main reason I bought the Yam, as is stirring finish for a guitar Asia.
The very thin layer of lacquer allows speed and accuracy very good, so is comfort issue palace! Access to acute is impeccable. Having played a bit on Vigier Excalibur, the handle of the Yam is still a notch below, but they do not play in the same category either.

However, it must admit that the violin is truly excellent, the proof is that it sounds great vacuum and it has a very good sustain.

His side was a traditional palette Start with the splittable humbucker in the bridge position but it really lets ogle SH4 towards more muscular styles, something that is very nice and makes it an extremely versatile guitar.

9 / 10 because perfection is not of this world.

SOUNDS

I play mostly 70's rock (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin) and post-rock (Mogwai).
My favorite combinations of pickups are single race (his Hendrixien), + environment to run a softer sound and bridge only for solos and parts crunch / distortion. The positions of medium alone and split the middle + bridge I do not like really being angry with the country ...

The sound possibilities are vast, we can move from blues to hard rock (metal or even not too hard) with no problem. For jazz and extreme metal, one must look elsewhere because the wood used (alder and maple for the body to the handle) gives a fairly snapping signature.

I play on a preamp light of Hughes & Kettner Tubeman coupled with a Roland Jazz Chorus 77.
Performed only on the JC-77, it becomes really consider the quality of this guitar because this amp is the most transparent, and there tear ca. I branch out, however, the only preamp clear sound of the JC-77, and there it rocks! Tearing around like that, I put 9 / 10.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a year and a half that I, as bassist in the beginning, I was looking for a versatile guitar without typing beyond 800/900 euros. On this point, I'm thrilled because it is in my opinion one of the best quality / price ratio that can exist. Here we have a stringed instrument of a flawless despite some minor flaws electronics (which I believe can be repaired without great expense).

In summary, a guitar great playing comfort, equipped with a large (micro SD Sperzel and mechanical) for half the cost that much. What could be better?

Everything has been said in the previous opinion, and if I give mine is just to say that this guitar is absolutely fabulous. Blues, rock, funk, reggae, metal ... plugged into an amp lamp is happiness. Only the jazz is not for her, but be careful when I say I understand all that jazz is standard ... Because for the merger is a wonder!

YAMAHA PLEASE!

At that price is unbeatable, and I think even to have tried a bunch, less than 1500 euros to a minimum there's no better.

UTILIZATION

Very nice

Easy

Very good ergonomics

THE SOUND!

SOUNDS

I do not know why this guitar has not been more successful in any case which have no regrets ...

OVERALL OPINION

To buy new or emergency OCCAZ!

Like the previous opinion except that the bridge of my own (bought a nice fanzinien) was replaced by Wilkinson, (which costs 150 euros).
I want to say that the quality of the instrument is exemplary.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, apparently it is made of one piece of wood.
the key is very flat the frets are very good too.
the mechanics are extra spertzel I change a string in 30 seconds with it. access to acute is very good and the guitar is played both sitting and standing strat format requires.

SOUNDS

I play a little bit of everything, the lutterie the guitar is excellent with high quality wood and good microphones.
I mounted with Dean Markley strings 11-52, with it on the neck pickup I get a good sound for blues srv.
it's a guitar that has a lot of attack sound very strat lens type and there are actually a telecaster sound in middle position and micro mileu easel.
I love all the sounds of the guitar, I'm playing the riff with that throws cold shot.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month is a guitar that I will keep up to what I've completely erased the frets I love it.
I paid 400 euros a friendly price wilkinson with his easel, it was almost new.
value for money is excellent, she dethroned us some models priced twice élevé.J 'hesitant at first between a fender light ash and this one, and I do not regret having chosen the yamaha.
I would do without hesitation that choice
