Oscar the Grouch « OK to start with a small budget. »
Published on 05/20/11 at 06:47Form: This is a copy of a stratum
Neck: 22 frets, rosewood
Pickups: 2 single coil (neck and bridge) and a humbucker for the bridge.
Controls: 5 position microphone, a knob to adjust volume and a knob for tone, one can draw from it to disable one of the two humbucker pickups of the bridge.
Aesthetics: It's a great guitar, the only thing I dislike is the logo "pacifica" written on the head, too big and the font I find it a little kitsch.
UTILIZATION
The handle is not unpleasant, the rear is painted on the VCX modeled, so that the hand slips less than a handle more roots.
The saddle on the other hand is not terrible, we begin to address the bendings, special attention must be that the strings do not leave their location.
Weight and shape is nothing to say, light guitar to play early, it is well balanced to play seated.
The luthier told me that the rule that the violin is very good for a guitar "entry level" but the tremolo is not that great, same for the switch, and wiring.
SOUNDS
If you start playing in a group, you quickly realize that in the pickups are not the height, clean it sounds like a toy compared to guitars to 600 euros. I ended up replacing the pickups with three Seymour Duncan, 200 providing euro budget (micro + maker) and I have a correct sound.
I use a Boss BD-2 and it sounds great, great show, for the blues-rock.
I found a pretty versatile guitar, the humbucker can be used to play rock and heavy that the neck or bridge for the blues. I play rock type 70s pacifica and holds the road well.
I would advise those who do not yet know to what style will move to make the metal or jazz better watch other models. It is well for pop-rock, rock, blues and punk rock.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for three years. What I like most is that she is my first guitar, so I tell myself never to separate. It is easily "upgradeable" to those who have not the means to afford a guitar at 1000 euros to start, you can get a good guitar deadlines
What I like least the original pickups, but we do not necessarily realize at first I spent 2 years before the change.
I have not tried other models before buying it because I was a beginner.
With the experience I do not do it again this election because I picked up a guitar at 250 euros, because I did not know that I would become addicted to the guitar. If I knew that 3 years after I'd obsessed with playing, I would have taken a direct stratocaster mex. Otherwise, if you can not afford, or like me, you're not sure when you start to become a passionate guitarist, head over to the Pacifica.
