Pacificas Are Best Value Always Beat Strats!
1 of 1 found this helpful I am a big fan of Yamaha and Yamaha Pacifica guitars. I own 10 Yamaha guitars, and 7 of them are Pacificas. I own 2x904, 612Vii, 611HFM, 510V, 502V(Soren Anderson Mod), and this 120VMX. My attraction was that Yamaha made solid foundation guitars with amazing value (not comparable to crappy Asian-Built fender strats).
I purchased this guitar with the purpose of a super modification to create a monster guitar. I knew the Pacificas are solid and the build is generally excellent from the lowest to the highest, and I wanted a guitar with a maple neck too.
What hurts, is that the equipment and the finish is so good that I felt bad in replacing these new excellent parts. The tuners were smooth and looked good, the Tremelo looks so good and feels smooth to my hand when I used as good as wilkinson. The pickups sound good with Coil-Split, have that thin nice twangy sound which I like, but the neck and bridge pickup were perfect for Hendrix to Joe Satriani solos. The only issue I had was with the neck. The shape and size were good and fast (25.5" Scale medium 22 frets). It was the not-so-great inlays and the missing lacquer and stain I didn't like, but some people like that natural feel. Cant do anything on inlays, but I am staining it myself and lacquering it so thats not an issue. The natural alder unlaquered finish is absolutely beautiful.
Overall, an amazing guitar and to this day I cannot bring myself to buying a fender strat if I had the choice of a Pacifica. Pacificas are so undervalued! PS This modification will be a super pacifica mixed with the feauture of an Ibanez JS1200 but HSH with 5-way switch and coil split and high-pass filter. I using Red Sperzel Locking Tuners, (Seymour Duncan Screamin Demon (H), Seymour Duncan SSL-1 (S), Dimarzio Satch Track (H)). Graphtech Nut & Saddles, & Blade Runner Bridge with Brass Block.

My First Suhr is Friggin Awesome!!!!
This thing is the Rolex of Guitars! The custom pickups are amazing! The PUSH/PUSH are a really nice surprise. The sustain is RIDICULOUS! Even though it looks like a shredder, the neck is not too flat but you can play super fast! Even though its a Mahogany-equivalent wood, it still has warm and bouncy cleans especially on single coil but can be very dark on high-gain. Whammy bar perfect sensitivity and feels like a Floyd Rose but it isn't. Notes are so highly articulate without ever sounding thin. Amazing American product! AAA specs and craftsmanship. You cannot go wrong. I have 36 guitars and this easily gets into the top-5
