This is a great guitar. The Yamaha PAC510V has everything I like; single pickup, locking tuners, good whammy bridge & a pair of good string retainers. It was on sale at Sound Alchemy some years ago, was unexpected but it's a worthy catch.
I appreciate locking tuners. They keep tuning in check & make re-string an enjoyable engagement. This is especially useful for the newbies among us who would want to avoid the hassle of coiling strings round the posts. Those Graph Tech Tusq string retainers are wonderful. They don't snag strings & they don't rust. The Pacifica headstock design has to be one of the more likeable ones out there. They look prim & proper, nothing obnoxious.
OK, my final pack of Darco older pack strings. They are good + affordable. The 500 series of Pacificas sport a Wilkinson whammy bridge. These are absolutely great for the money with no protrusions to ravage one's picking hand. Ah, yes... the Seymour Duncan P-Rails; it's one of my reclusive favourite. It's wired to manifest three modes, full humbucking/ P-90/ rail single coil. So if you think it's a one trick pony by virtue of just a lone humbucker in there, know that it's wired to thrill.

Hi Sub, what is the routing under the pickguard?
Can the guitar be converted to a SSH too?
