All user reviews for the Yamaha Pacifica PAC112

Everything has been said

UTILIZATION

This guitar is light. The handle is very nice although I now find that the frets hang a little hand.

SOUNDS

This guitar has agreed very well myself. I played the blues with a marshall AVT 100 and it sounded great.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 11 years as the only electric guitar. I really liked this guitar. Today I play a gibson les paul and I must say I would not return back. This is a very good guitar for beginners. I really do not regret having bought it at the time, it was much cheaper than the concurrent or better than similarly priced guitars.

The Yamaha Pacifica 112 is one of the best beginner level guitars that can be bought in my opinion. Yamaha has a longstanding tradition of quality and their guitars are consistently quite easy to play, feel great and have tones that put them well ahead of their price range. This particular model has an alder body, a maple neck with rosewood fretboard and 22 frets, sealed chrome tuners, a standard tremolo bridge (non locking) and three Yamaha pickups (a humbucker and two single coils). This model also has a very groovy natural finish, though it's available in many other colours too. These guitars are typically built in Taiwan, as are many other Yamaha guitars.

UTILIZATION

The design of this guitar is fairly nice. It's a bit different from a Strat, but I do find it easier to get around and play on. The guitar is reasonably light and sits well on the body. The contouring is good and the upper fret access is definitely superior to a traditional Strat (though not as a good as say, an Ibanez or Jackson). Getting a good sound out of this guitar is pretty easy. Though the stock pickups aren't exactly the quality of higher end models, they do have a decent enough tone to play on, especially if you're just starting and you can go from clean to mean fairly easily.

SOUNDS

This guitar is nice in that it sounds great both clean and distorted. Having the humbucker at the bridge is great for being able to go from brighter and more trebly single coil tones to a heavier and thicker tone for rock music, and also cut down on the noise. It sounds great both clean and distorted and works well for a variety of musical styles to my ears. I've tried everything from jazz to blues to classic rock to shred on this guitar and it responds quite well to each of them. Even through cheaper practice amps the guitar has a nice sound that is free of being buzzy or muddy, definitely a good sign in a cheaper instrument. With a pickup upgrade I'm sure it would sound even better, but as is it's not bad at all.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think the Yamaha PAC112 is a great buy for anyone looking for a quality instrument for not a lot of money. To me these guitars blow away any Squiers or Jay Tursers, etc, in the price range and they're just a better buy all around. You can find this guitar for as low as $100 used if you're smart at shopping. Unfortunately Yamaha products don't have a great resale, but that just makes it easier to pick up one of these from someone who doesn't know how good a guitar they've got.

Type strato guitar with 2 single microphone and a bridge humbucker in a 5-way switch, 1 volume and 1 tone knob, all mounted on an alder body (I think) and a handle screw

UTILIZATION

The neck is very very fun to play the ergonomics is really not bad, unfortunately the sound is a bit messy ...

SOUNDS

I play jazz rock metal amp on a 1000 fender rock pro j would like to tell you about sound setting but I do not remember (it's been a lot of the time I did not connect because of my new scratch) the only thing so I reminds me that I have c switch causes a scratching sound from the yamaha ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have the pacifica for 6 years or more, I adore her serious contact with the handle and its general aesthetical but the big catch lies in the electronics, the sound skips (and volume changes alone tonnalité)
in price / quality ratio I think that it is difficult to do much better
to conclude I would say that the Yamaha Pacifica 112 is a good guitar for beginners and even for further research but if you own one it will realize a faloir transplant vital organs (selector potentiometer and wiring and microphones as well)
I personally do not have the fact but I have serious hesitate ...

Hmm hmm I think tt was said:

22frets, two microphones and a single humbucker in the bridge position, an adjustment for volume and one tone, a 5-way switch and a handle screwed

UTILIZATION

A very pleasant run, allows a good grip. Since it is a strat-type guitar acute access is very simple. For sound, it is currently the best guitar issue price / quality !!!!!! The sound is clear, she Disagree very little and it sounds right! Compared to such squier custom p90 (for a price almost similar) has the yamaha sound clearer and just bcp!

SOUNDS

The yamaha is a very versatile guitar, two mics and simple double easel allows versatility. I play a marshall and compromise yamaha / marshall is rather nice for a sound point of view, in fact, the disto of marshall is great and with a guitar that sounds right is not easy to do nice things: D

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 month and am delighted jen. While the pickups are not a simple height was limpression down the volume when switching from two to one. Before cowardice jai try two squier custom p90 and lautre I know, a lag, an ibanez and yamaha another. But for the same price yamaha 112 is definitely the best! at least for the sound ...

See above ....
vibrato is far from being extraordinary, but is more than enough for beginners and fun.

UTILIZATION

For a guitar of this price nothing wrong, the handle is really enjoyable, very easy to play,
CHAC is done without the shrill difficult.C the highlight of this guitar, the neck ... Be careful not to use tunings too fanciful or even the strings are too big for the low E string tends to steer (yes, no system to stop the strings), or worse gresiller.je light board game, the impeccable and super easy to play.

SOUNDS

Trs versatile guitar which is not used with an amp correct.Elle can try in every style, good sound clear trs, trs disto sympathique.Par cons I do not know if it's only mine but simple microphones tend sizzle ... but no problem position humbucker.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years and is gnial, its really correct, run super enjoyable, vibrato aussi.je the proper advice for a Premire scratch because it is more solid ... trs is tomb more than once and the handle does not allow to make his bougca ptites expreience also rgler vibrato etc ...
Much better quality than a low end ibanez sr is ...

...

UTILIZATION

Channel (trs enjoyable screwed over all the other guitars of the same price that I tried.
Vibrato friendly, but I lost the stem (snif. ..).
It moves easily without slecteur micro expr.
It really silent rgl directly output mag
c a copy of Start

SOUNDS

Trs Polyval, can play a bit of everything thanks to slecteur 5 position, two singles, a double.
Now the microphones start shit, position 3 of 5 grsillent serious.
I had to bring the micro acute prs super strings because it has become much less powerful than the other two. But original it sounded serious for its price

OVERALL OPINION

It is all very serious criticism Yamaha but kicks the c ** all the entry level.
I bought 3 years ago, my electric Premire, I wanted above all a super skyscraper Polyval.
I'll have another in a week for a more guitar oriented saturations.
But it's a great guitar for starters, I recommend to all, put 50 euros more instead of buying jim harley and you will really not.

Everything has been said on this subject

UTILIZATION

Exellent access to acute neck is good without being great
good ergonomic handle but too rounded at the factory
coupled with a fender frontman 25R on his walks across the land, but very thorough in her sizzling distortion (replace the cables and microphones by the teflon blindésou

SOUNDS

For my style is metal in general, the guitar is limited due to the crackling with distortion but palliable with other cables
very well with Fender Frontman 25R
Santana's from Iron Maiden through the cables changed with metallica

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and wheelbarrows, its strength is its mpanche microphones and cables are weak (I'm not talking about the vibrato is out of the race
I tried several models this guitar I was immediately more
value for money is unbeatable, I would not wage workers who have contributed to making t (a big thank you to all)
I think at this price you can not make other choices without the wrong choice
réçament I replaced the guitar with a ibanez RG370DX gives me satisfaction entieren for now (if your budget allows you to add more than 200 € instead take this if you are fan of metal or distortion and floyd

See other opinions.

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice, good access to acute, very light and balanced. Like many entry-level guitars, volume and tone background are required. Thing to note, it goes out of tune very soon. The only problem I had was related to the jack that had a sacred Thurs

SOUNDS

Used for the grunge and punk on Peavy 65w with Boss pedals, the clean sound is OK, with the DS-2 distortion of the double is quite aggressive, the breath also, unfortunately.

There There's a strong difference in volume between the two single and double, which can be annoying, personally I like, simple clear, double distortion, it's really the slap in the face during the chorus.

OVERALL OPINION

Light + Sound
+ Round
+ Simple double difference in volume

- Breath
- Jack shaky

I used it from 1997 to 2001 (I always but it is no longer used), it was my first scratch, purchased from OCCAZ 1500 balls with amp, I would do the same choice without any problems, the sound is good better than the Squiers and low-end Epiphone.

Body: Alder
Neck: Maple Bolt
Fingerboard: Rosewood (112), maple (112M), 350mm radius
Frets: 22
Scale: 648mm
Pickups: 2 single coil, 1 humbucker
Controls: 5 way switch, master volume and tone
Bridge: Vintage tremolo

UTILIZATION

- The handle is really nice trèèèès! This is the highlight of the Pacifica. The boix is ​​beautiful, sweet, it really plays with great ease. This is where we see that this is a beginners guitar because with experience, we will find ourselves a bit limited. I actually decided to sell this one to take me an LTD but I do not regret in any way the purchase of the Pacifica as the first skyscraper.
- Access to treble is fairly easy, there are only 22 frets and it easily goes up to the 19th. A good beginner guitar solo!
- Type Stratocaster, the Pacifica has a form could not be more classic, various colors (black I), it is simple but very pretty, she is light and pleasant again, just buy a good strap! ^ ^

SOUNDS

- It's a versatile guitar ("key-on" because it does not control any style to perfection), so perfectly made for beginners, you can play the good old Rock and Blues as the Metal and Punk or good even Reggae ... it is focused on any particular style. We can both play solos that good rhythm, this guitar, but not exceptional on specific issues, agrees to ALL (or almost)!
- The pickups are far from exceptional. Like all the guitars entry level. You can feel the difference with the humbucker that fits more with distorted sounds while simple are rather intended to sound clearer. A wind that keeps growing. I repeat myself but it is a "first" guitar. So, after all, the microphones are sufficient if there are changes in (microphone or guitar). And for that price should not ask for the moon!
- I was initially a Roland Cube 15W, amp classic limited. I later invested in a greenhouse at Zoom (606) and then you start to enjoy double the sounds of this guitar! Boss, Zoom or Digitech, choose your side in any case we strongly advise to buy one!

OVERALL OPINION

- I use this guitar for a year and a half soon, I love the handle anyway, I plan to change but so far for a first guitar, the Pacifica has seduced me like no other!
- It suited perfectly to the style I wanted as a first guitar (= flexible), I hesitated a bit with the Squier but I finally chose Yamaha.
- If I go back with experience, I would do this choice. It is important to have a versatile guitar, nice and easy for the first time.
- One of the best quality / price of entry-level (with the Squier no doubt), it is clear. For a little cheaper guitars you frankly pathetic.
- A skyscraper that is perfect for beginners to anyone as a first guitar.
- It's hard to part with them finally! ^ ^
(But I must ...)

UTILIZATION

This guitar is a killer ...
I bought it in 98. My electric guitar C'tait Premire (I started a folk) and since, it's still my prfere (requires sentimental value) for its ease of use (thank you fender) and versatility .
The neck is fast and accessible acute. The weight is ok, no pb this ct.
A trs good ergonomics throughout.
The only downside (to be fussy): the pickup selector can move a helping mdiator when you're in the middle or neck position.

SOUNDS

This guitar should (almost) all types of music.
Indeed, with both single and double pickups (duncan design please) there's no better.
Apart from the microphone of the environment that got my lack of personality (I've replaced by a dual rail GFS lil killer ... excellent!), The sound is more than adequate.
Neck pickup: bright blues and Hendrix, SRV, RHCP, ... Vraimment well as with a good crunch with a clean sound. Less well in heavy distortion (normal for a single).
Micro middle: I do not use it. Too transparent, no personality!
Micro Bridge: Long live the big rock (Nirvana, ACDC, Metallica, Led Zep etc. ...). Trs good mic, pretty hot!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 years and it vraimment trs a good instrument. I will also probably buy another because I did paint the Premire and I want to make the same thing with another ... (The forums on this topic on AudioFanzine bcp me inspired!)

What I like the +: the neck and bridge pickups (all rock in a skyscraper) and spices plastic (white) that turn yellow over time (long live the vintage ...)
What I like least: The low E string that locks the bridge when I get loose and sometimes drop in D (but only occasionally and for 2 months ?!!?)

Frankly, the guitar for a idalie dbuttant!
Qq each essay I had the time and this one the most versatile silent.
The ratio quality price is excellent.
This choice I would do 1000 times if necessary!

I believe the other reviews already responding to these issues.

Yamaha pacifica
22 frets (jumbo)
Channel thin enough, good Access in acute ...
little vibrato and I mean little because the guitar is hard not to dsacorder triturated if a little ...
2 single 1 double (for me, it would change the pickups because they are not so terrible that a)
for a, I would put a small 6 / 10

UTILIZATION

Channel quite enjoyable and trs fast, good Access in acute ...
But his main problem according to me is that scratching is too heavy for scne. Ok it's perfect to play sitting but standing is a true galre. PUNK FAN refrain! It's even worse when the strap is the max!
For the form, I find it beautiful trs. The pan's upper body is suddenly ...
In terms of sound, it's not Terribas 'Terribas' ... Despite the good versatility, I think the lack of EHJV ... (it's just my opinion ...)
I do not put that as the 6, because of the microphones. (A chtit manages easily with a change!)

SOUNDS

For Punk, by weight, it's perfect! For metals, for against, it's not correct ... prs but it's better with two doubles! If the guitar RULES correctly, you can have a warm ... the gibson stratocaster pass from under the noses of these pickups!
I play with a ROLAND CUBE 30 (j'espre that change with a 60 but not right now) and frankly, it rev well. saturation for all 'is not bad masi ds will be on clean, it takes a slap so it dgueux. For my part, I am more or SATRIANI GreenDay not go down so I often clean the ...
I put 7

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years and did my Premire scnes with and I've never chari ...
I love its shape. is the best of the best of beauty in YAMAHA. it is for me, a guitar line between appropriate and beginners and confirmed. But hey ... a little change of microphones would make him the most good. I tried an Ibanez equivalent.
Report quality perfect price: the 310 era, that's exactly what I expected from my Premire real guitar.
With exprience, I think I remake that choice, even if today I prfre lagement the Ibanez JS100 ...

Guitar type strato plutt well finished property that I admit to being surprised by the quality t "ptquot; welds under the hood.
I find it a bit heavy to play standing up but trs well established.
2 single, 1 Humber, the microphones are original trs to start .... well then you have to think to change them.
For my part I have replaced after 6 months by DiMarzio, (SSH) YJM; Fast Track 1 and Fred, knowing that the YJM and FT1 are not really compatible, while Fred FT1 and yes, the intermdiaire YJM/FT1 position is forgotten.
However other top positions are versatile and well, what I was looking for my guitar Premire.
vibrato is good, but it's better when dtune does not the guitar.
this, as mine arrives without rglage, I do know that advise beginners that this guitar is mainly dstine to learn more about how rgler his guitar (neck , strings, tune in case 0 and 12 etc. ..)

UTILIZATION

The handle is it enjoyable?
the beginners I did not know since j'tais beginners, then I taste the sleeves Ibanez edge type highway, and I realized that for my little hands round the neck n'tait not IDAL for me for beginners. However now that my fingers are more agile and stronger, do not ask me more dsormais problem.

as I Specifies the top, so you get good sound but under reserve of rgler the handle and the strings, otherwise if t does not buzz and it uncomfortable.
a little heavy coat but not me drang.
in ergonomics I find it pretty basic, but pretty good.
I actually bought a few months ago in a budget well and suprieur another level, an Ibanez RG505, and when I go to the Ibanez Yam, I seem to take a piece of wood.

SOUNDS

The sound of this guitar, yes, because I love everything that I can have properly with my RG, Blues, Rockabilly, sounds more "acoustic" sustain a shorter but deeper .. . sounds are clear trs good.

I jou first with a Marshall MG15CDR, he had to start and do not rely for small marshall amp!
I then bought a 112 with Atomic Tonelab, and it's just a monstrous set of versatility and quality I think also buy a second 112 for Stereo and effects.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 18 months, whether I would have AIM RULES before coming home for not discovering six months later with some exprience (question certainly rate)
I like the looks (mine is Old Violin Style), the years 80-90 rock sounds that can come out.
I like the stability of "tune" if only one does not use vibrato.
the handle is nice but a little pais socks for little fingers.
qualitprix the report is excellent, much better than the Squier in the same price.
Exprience with the budget for this so I do it again the same choice, but with the same exprience I think I will put on the table 600 1000 to get started right away with a high-end guitar .
anyway, my Pacifica, I care!

- In which country was it made?
Indonesia.

- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
22 frets, two pickups and a single humbucker (SSH) ...

- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
Vintage tremolo

- What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
So a button for audio, one for tone, pickup selector and a 5-position.

- What type of race?
It's a maple neck screw, and a rosewood fingerboard.

The guitar is very beautiful, very well finished, no visual defects, despite its low price!

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?
Yes, very! It is very fine, very well slip as it is not polish, even with wet or dry hands, it's going niquel above ... It should almost all types of hands and fingers, small hands and big hands will be delighted ... (Personally, my fingers are very thin but long, so I'm really quite comfortable on it)

- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
Very good!

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Shape of a stratovolcano slightly modified, I find the upper horn a little big, lean it on the coast if I play sitting down. Otherwise it fits perfectly under your arm.
on the other hand I find it rather heavy with a strap up! I'm pretty fragile, so I really feel its weight on the shoulder and back, quite painful.

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...
No problemo!

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?
It rocks! I play a little bit of everything

I plugged into a Fender Vibro field and a Vox ToneLab ST, and it spits Well, yes, perfect!

- What sounds do you prefer?
Sounds pretty clean, slightly fatty or rock.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I bought it in October 2006 was my first guitar. We are in March 2010, others joined the guitars on my wall, but she is still great!

- How would you rate the quality / price?
EXELLENT, 10/10! I do not see other guitars that could compete with that price it! That's the best.

- With experience, you do again this choice?
Oh, for anything that I could no choice!

Type Start, made in Taiwan (bah yes, the price, it comes from there!). Wilkinson bridge type, which has tended to tune my guitar the first two years and after stabilized.
2 singles and a humbucker, 5 settings. 2 knobs (vol. and tone). The jack is below and not on the table. Oil bath mechanical hyper stable (even with strings deep-draft).
Mine is finished in light wood and white protective (rather than cream today).

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice, it slides even if it's not a highway to Ibanez. Access to treble is good overall. The settings are fastoches (do not touch yourself to the handle, it is screwed !!!). In terms of weight, it seemed a little heavy teen, but hey, it's been thirteen years I have, so ...
Different microphones have their own personality, i like especially the mic handle clean sounds and acute crunch.
Initially, I had to adjust the height of the microphones, especially the humbucker that really slammed too. No breath, even after many years ('Just do not take m.rd. jacks!). Just my volume knob that sizzles a little, not twice.

SOUNDS

I mainly play stuff on the floyd or old rocks (zep, Yardbirds, stones ...) or jazzy blues. It suits me perfectly because it is very versatile and can accept all types of effects. The microphone is very serious round with a lot of presence and acute loves drive or distortion. The medium and intermediate sound too good. My game and my styles have changed a lot and the 112 has always adapted well.

OVERALL OPINION

As I said + above, it's been thirteen years that I have and it has not aged a bit! To change anything, not even the mic. One would think she was a young girl. I bought 1200F at the time (approx. 180 euros) and frankly for an entry-level, it kills. Nothing to do with other brands that offer similar price guitars really not top.
I remember the time I flashed on his face and then trying it, I knew right away ...
At that price, I will take no other.

the bridge: alder wood
maple neck rosewood fingerboard
22 frets
2micros a simple single coil pickup
volume control, tone control, microphone selector

UTILIZATION

the handle is nice, it's easy to slip on the handle for greater speed, it is smooth
the guitar is pretty light weight is mostly on the body, but it is fairly balanced. body shape is very convenient because the hollow body provides comfort (the line is soft and fluid)
the highs are accessible even if they are a little tight but c is not really a problem

SOUNDS

the sound is great for a beginner, excellent highs, relative to the price not that expensive, c is correct.le sound is versatile, with an advantage for the lead. can be no matter what style of music, a hard rock ballad (except metal) it lacks a little character but good for a beginner guitar ...

I play with an amp ELYPSE E-15 R

OVERALL OPINION

as I am beginner I used the last three months.
value for money is very good
I recommend this guitar for beginners or more except for the metal, which I think did not have enough character

Everything said prcdement t

UTILIZATION

The neck is super smooth, enjoyable trs, the agreements fall well

Access in acute is not difficult (although I rarely go!)

Ergonomics is good, not too much weight

we get easily a good sound

SOUNDS

What is certain is that it is trs versatile, I play a little bit of everything (at least I try), I play on a VOX AD30VT and its panel is large, all types spend ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 6 months, in fact I handed the guitar APRS over 20 years of stopping, I play music in leisure and I needed something that was versatile, not too expensive but a pretty good quality, so I went around the net to look at the view, pacifica emerged each time.
I tried others in the same price range and frankly, without being chauvinistic, it's true that the game takes its Pingle (eg when no amp makes it sound, the sound is l, compared to some other or means little or nothing ...)
I chose the model CPJ (black, neck and head black, chrome pickguard) has a great face in this configuration
sometimes it hangs the slecteur when we go a little strong but the is not his fault!
I do not regret my choice, on the contrary, I would gladly recommend

All told prcdemment t adj.
I have a dtail pacifica 112V with double splittable. It is a good option. The knob lightweight but I think the microphone is in both configurations.

UTILIZATION

Channel super enjoyable is what was partly motivated my choice
The frets may be a bit high (a little aggressive for the fingers)
excellent ergonomics, contrary to what some have experienced, I find lgre (jou that I had an old Fender Stratocaster)
good sound versatile

SOUNDS

It's versatile architecture
I use a VOX AD30VT with. The diffrent configurations of microphones and amplifiers premettent me out a multitude of sounds Different. It allows me to play any style

I love the humbucker in bridge and just run. I never use the microphone simple medium alone. I prefer that the handle or both simultaneously

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for months qq
I love his versatility and range of sounds available
report quality price is excellent!
this choice I would do without hesitation!
I think even if one day I buy another guitar I will keep it even when the ...

- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
22 frets, 3micro including one humbucker at the bridge.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?
Yes to some extent. The frets are too high, even if it did, I realized that I play much faster on a better run.

- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
Yes, but the frets are too high to ring prevents much, in short above the box 18 or 19 it becomes difficult to get it right treble.

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Yes there really is not much to blame on this point.

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...
The clean sound for that song are not too blues or jazz is good. Distortion and metal sound good with the bridge pickup, but once you level up, and its power as touched the handle you will notice that the sound reaches it's limit and will draw you do not have much of mieu.

SOUNDS

The sound is more metal will enjoy, and do very little playing jazz or blues sound with me. This guitar is very versatile.

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play with a Roland Cube 15.

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
In metal distortion or the middle I put a 0 and the other (high and low) to bottom. The sound is pretty good, metal stack I put the middle in the middle.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
5 years ... This explains my mixed feelings, I note this guitar compared to my level. I'll buy a PRS SE Singlecut to continue to leave in a sound mieu mieu.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
The vibrato is fun and we do not expect a guitar like this.
I really do not like it freights acute that sound difficult and frets too high. But for the price we do not say anything.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
At about 2 or 3 competitors in this one. When I started the other was too typed for a particular type of game, now I know what suits me.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent. I held with 5 years ^ ^ (now I really need mieu xD)

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
I advise beginners that they can have fun for 3 or 4 years without problems, beyond it gets too tight, you want better sound, better ... well stringed guitar players who play at least as long as I understand me ^ ^

PS: I note this guitar compared to my point of view now, after 5 years of play on this guitar. Obviously if I had just started crying I put 10/10 in miracles like the other opinion ^ ^.

edit: I changed some stuff with experience. It is true that after the 18th cargo, it is not very comfortable but it's a good scratch to start

Everything has already been said.

UTILIZATION

This guitar is very versatile. The handle is good, although for solos I have some bad scratches on this: access to acute is not sensational. As for sound, we get immediately a good sound regardless of the style. The presence of vibrato is very nice, you can take to Van Halen!

SOUNDS

I think the bridge humbucker sounds good for rock / pop with distortion but when we try to play some hard rock or metal is not too much here and there sound a little deaf. I do not use the microphone of the medium but on the other hand, the microphone handle simple sounds really great! For a small solo blues in his clean, we get a really good sound. This is what I love about this guitar to the blues.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for almost 4 years. This is a great guitar for beginners: fun guaranteed! The value for money is very good. I must say that I would do this choice, but after 4 years of guitar, you have to change the violin pleases me more and I will soon buy a Gibson SG Special Faded, it will change <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" /> I put 9 for excellent quality / price! € 250 is really cheap for a very decent guitar like this.

Yamaha produced a huge number of these guitars I believe starting in the 80's and 90's. They were in just about every single music store in the world. The were extremely cheap and just about anyone who saved up a few weeks worth of wages could slap down enough to own one.

They are build similar to the Fender Squire Stratocatsers. The are pretty loosely built in a way that they feel a little slapped together in the factory by some machine pumping out several hundred a day.

UTILIZATION

Specifications
Body Alder
Neck Maple
Fretboard Bubinga
Pickups 2 single coils, 1 humbucker
Hardware Chrome
Controls 5 position pickup selector, master volume, master tone
Frets 22
Bridge Vintage tremolo
Scale 25 1/2"

SOUNDS

The tone of these are much better in comparison the the HSS Fender Squire guitars. The pickups seem to resonate much better and have a better attack feel to them. They still seem to carry quite a bit of noise overall, but they have easily be switched out for a Seymour Duncan pick.

These guitars work in just about any situation you put them in. Since you have a humbucker in the bridge and two single coils going up you can pull off just about any tone or style of music you have a desire to play. These are versatile guitars and will serve the owner well with good tones for the money.


OVERALL OPINION

The value of these guitars is what they are known for. Just about anyone can afford them. I would recommend this guitar over the fender Squire guitars of the same price. They have just a little bit better feel to them that makes me choose these over the Affinitys. They still are beginners guitars and you will feel that if you have any experience with real American fenders.

Easy to adjust, really solid, adapts to any type of hand (unlike Ibanez example I recommend pr hands of giants like me).

UTILIZATION

Channel super pleasant, c is not the guitar that is a hindrance here, c is clearly me, I have tested with another guitar, and c is on this one I feel best <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" /> standing or sitting, I can play for hours ...
Weight is nickel, not too heavy nor too light, the balance is perfect.
The sound is nickel for this price range. The guitar is versatile,
The microphone in the middle is pretty bland cons.

SOUNDS

Yes, it suits my style of music, I'm still a beginner, and I did not look ridiculous in my rehearsals. Finally, if I am, c is not ala guitar ^ ^
I get it roughly the sound I want, except the hard dr and metal ^ ^
I play on the pod UX2 Line 6 and a roland cube 30 x, 2 nickel rings ^ ^
C is clean sound that I prefer, but the rock also goes well ^ ^ It comes out well + s - c everywhere even if not pr nickel hardware and metal.

OVERALL OPINION

I used last year.
I've also tried the Ibanez js satriani 100, well I prefer this guitar al use (no sound) it can not compete with a guitar than 800 euros, c normal. J have also tested an Epiphone Les Paul, very nice too.
I love the report qulite price! versatility, weight, touch ...
J likes least the lack of character design ds guitar, it looks like what year is important for beginner guitar pr her look, I would not take it in black and white. Finally, c far from being death, I laime anyway.
rapporteurs for money + +
With experience, I would take more in a pack. I would take the 112v has pacified the best microphone and take wood color.
I recommend this guitar to any beginner, it can not be wrong except metals which should be moving towards esp or jackson.

I believe this pacifica was made in either indonesia or china or taiwan, though I can't remember exactly it was over 10 years ago. This was my very FIRST electric guitar. My mom was nice enough to buy this very first guitar for me, which actually affected my buying decision considering I wanted an Ibanez. Oh to be young and have no money of my own..

Anyhoo, specs:

alder? body
maple neck with rosewood board
22 frets
ssh pickup config with generic pickups
1 tone 1 volume, 5 way switch
some unknown trem with a bar

on paper it's a decent list of specs, everything you'd get on a more expensive guitar, just lower, generic versions of it.

UTILIZATION

It's basically a strat shape slightly modified but still has all the contours so it's comfortable. The neck joint was a bolt on but the upper fret access I remember was either just as difficult as a regular strat would be or slightly more difficult.

Everything worked on the guitar, I actually kept this for a very long time after I started to take guitar seriously and realized how much of a rip this guitar really was. In today's world, a guitar that's $300 COULD be a pretty high quality guitar, everything's gone up in terms of QC, but when I bought this, I didn't realize how crap it was until I played the Ibanez that I always wanted.

The one positive about this guitar was that it was my first so it has sentimental value and I could beat the crap out of it without worrying (this was years after I played a lot and acquired more gear of course).

SOUNDS

I used to use this through a peavey express 112 and then a peavey bandit 112. Both of which are essentially the same amp with a speaker upgrade and slightly different features. I'm reviewing this as based on what I now know and the 10+ years of playing guitar.

Sound wise, it was nothing to write home about, I knew nothing about what a good guitar was supposed to sound like anyway. Though I did own the guitar for a long time and modded the hell out of it with a huge variety of pickups over the years which improved the guitar a LOT more.

Basically both the neck and middle pickups were useless individually, the 60hz hum was always there. The blending position did sound decent. Though I never used it. I was almost always on the bridge position since I didn't know any better. But looking back, it was shrill and sterile and almost always too trebly.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a complete beginner's guitar. The trend for beginner guitar players is that they usually get something cheap that's been recommended to them by the salesman and just play it and work with what they've got. Some of this attitude is greatly under-appreciated as most advanced players nowadays have become DIVAS over the simplest things, while some of this attitude needs to be corrected.

From what I've learned, and to be very specific, it is generally not a good idea to get a cheap guitar begin with. Not only is the setup most likely going to be horrible but it has no resale value. Thus you will end up with extra junk in your household AND the way it plays can be a HUGE demotivator for the beginning guitarist. If you're gonna buy a cheap guitar, get it setup right AT LEAST, to get it going!

After I played on this guitar for years and learned more and more about guitars, setups etc. and modded this guitar, performed many experiments on it I came to realize that it's a good beater guitar for experiments. I've gigged with it too, and remember having tuning problems. So it's definitely not a performing guitar, at least, not for me it wasn't. I wouldn't buy this guitar again, it was too expensive for what it's really worth and I shouldn't have chosen this guitar as my first. I only did for the price point, but you get what you pay for. Haven't told my mom of course, she'd weep!!
