MGR/Chuck « Yamaha Pacifica 112M »
Published on 02/18/03 at 15:00I bought this guitar at a local guitar shop almost 3 years ago for about $300. I wanted a strat type electric guitar wich had a maple neck, 22 frets and a bit more agresive sound in the bridge position. Since it was my first electric guitar I think I made a good choice to begin with.
What I like about this guitar is the way it lookes and sounds like. It has metalic black finish on solid alder body, bolt on maple neck with 22 medium size frets, 2 single coils in neck and midle and 1 humbucker in the bridge position. I also like the fact that it has 1 volume and 1 tone control,5 postion pickup selector switch and very good tuning keys. By the way I even got two wrenches, one for neck adjustment and one for adjusting the hight of the strings.
There isn't much I don't like about this guitar, in fact I love everithing about it.
The only thing that I dislike is the buzzing sound of the single coils in the overdrive mode, but it's really not that bad.
The finish on the body is flawless, and the neck is really comfortable to play. All the electronics still work great after nearly 3 years now. The sound of the humbucker in the bridge position is prety good for a guitar of this price range and the single coils give a good vintage sound that's great for blues or jazz. The unit stays in tune for a very long time even when I rock prety hard on it.
This is a great guitar to start with and also for semi-pro playing. I'm planing to change the pickups and make it a serious workhorse guitar. In conclusion I highly recomend this guitar to beginners and semi-pro guitarists.
