Yamaha Pacifica Series in general Reviews

Pacifica is a series of electric guitars manufactured by Yamaha. Many different styles of Pacifica have been introduced since the 1990's, all of which have one of two basic shapes. They either have a double cutaway shape, similar to a Stratocaster, or a single cutaway shape like a Telecaster. The first guitar that I bought, about 5 years ...  Read the complete review

My mum and dad bought me my Pacifica when I was about 14 years old. It was to be a stepping stone for me. My teenage delusions of being a rock star were in full swing at this point and I told my parents that I would hone my skills on the Pacifica before saving up for a Les Paul so I could sound like Slash and Jimmy Page. That was almost ...  Read the complete review

These are incredibly well made guitars, tight neck joints and a professional finish. They are a development of the most famous of guitars, the Fender Stratocaster. Designed in California by guitarists for guitarists at the Yamaha design HQ, they are an absolute bargain whichever model you go for. I like them so much that i currently have ...  Read the complete review

The Yamaha Pacifica takes everything that you would come to expect from a Fender Strat', and it's own style to things. The design is a lot more sleek, less chunky and more stylish. The body is smaller than most guitars, but it's well designed and feels a lot more light and comfortable than the Strat. The neck is quite thin, ...  Read the complete review

I am the proud owner of a Yamaha Pacifica 112 that cost me £200. It plays like a dream and it sounds absolutely great. For £200, this is an ...  Read the complete review

12 string guitars are a pain in the backside at the best of times and Yamaha's Pacifica 303 is no exception. Okay, not many of you have 12 string electric guitars so the choice is somewhat narrow, especially at the "cheaper" end of the market. whilst not epecting it to be as good as a 'real' Fender Strat or a ...  Read the complete review

I have recently boght myself a Yamaha APX 10A electro acoustic. It is one of the best stage guitars around for a relatively decent price. They were recommended to me by several friends, and after trying one out I got it. To start with I was totally dissappointed, it sounded awful. Now it has mellowed out and sounds ...  Read the complete review

the yamaha pacifica is a brilliant guitar for it's price and is one of the best in it's price range. A classic statocaster type shape, but slightly more pointy, it balances well, with the head not being too heavy when you stand out. It's five pick-up selection works well with the humbucker, but could do with a bit more ...  Read the complete review
