It's already Sunday but here I am still talking about Friday's greatness. The Yamaha Pacifica 510V you see above is one of the reasons I was happy that day. You'd be screaming bloody limitations seeing only a humbucker in this guitar but the 3-way selector indicates some variations on board. The guitar wasn't as light as I'd expected it to be but the firm bridge humbucking tones were present & delightful despite the pickup being a non-conventional model. Everything about this Indonesian production is above average but the neck profile isn't quite as sleek as the upper tier Pacificas I've come across some years ago. The other appointments of this guitar are indications that it isn't a lower tier offering- tusq nut, Wilkinson vibrato bridge & Grover locking tuners. It's currently on a festive season offer but sits at the upper end of $900 which is arguably repulsive for many of us putting value-for-money considerations in mind. Everything to like in terms of feel, tone & QC but not quite the price. Available @ Beat Spot
