Yamaha Pacifica 112V BL RL

Guitar arrived with a loose tone knob, exposed wiring near the pickup and a sizeable cosmetic flaw at the back (line with no black around the edge of the guitar).

This was quite surprising as Yamaha are known for having good quality control. I'm sure this may not be most people's experience, but note that this does happen.

Another excellent guitar from Yamaha, the Pacifica is an incredibly cost effective guitar that sounds like it should cost at least triple the price. If you're in the market for an affordable strat clone that sounds great, this is it. It arrives ready to play out of the box and holds its tune very well. The double coil pickup sounds great, and the others provide a unique blend of sounds, making this a very versatile guitar for a number of genres, from funk to hard rock.
