Yamaha Pacifica Series PAC12 Electric Guitar; Metallic Blue

I was looking for a cheap guitar to mess around with and I saw a Reddit post recommending the entry level Yamaha Pacifica series guitars (PAC012 and PAC112V). Went to some of the local music shops to try and play one but I couldn't find any in stock. Saw that Amazon had some so figured, why not roll the dice on here? My expectations were super low as I've bought guitars online in the past and have not had great experiences. Most notable flop was a Fender Strat MiM from Amazon which sounded terrible and had very poor finishing. But this one... all I can say is... WOW. It's perfectly playable right out of the box! Great tone, comfortable, lightweight, no sharp frets, no fret buzz -- it's just a great all-around guitar. The metallic blue finish is gorgeous... it's almost like a navy blue metallic. This guitar hits way higher than the price point. I can only imagine how great the higher end Yamahas sound and play. The only thing I might change would be the strings, but that's more of a personal preference. Stock strings on there are more than fine. If you're looking for a cheaper guitar to mess around on, or it's your first electric guitar, this one is a great choice.

Está excelente la guitarra. Le gustó mucho a mi hijo y suena súper bien. Recomiendo a Yamaha. Muy buena compra

Para el precio me sorprendió mucho su calidad, obviamente le encuentras temas que podrían ser mejores, pero para practicar es excelente y claro que funciona para tocar en vivo, tiene buen sonido y sustain. A mi siempre me gustó más el diseño de las yamaha con cortes más rectos a diferencia de lo redondo de las fender, la verdad muy bonita. No me convencía tener una guitarra azul, pero la verdad está muy linda.

I bought this Yamaha Pacifica Guitar for my husband and he appreciates it so much for his practice at home. It’s a very nice sounding guitar.

excellent for the price
