## Description

Solid Body Electric Guitar

Review: Just a great value for a beginner guitar - I bought this guitar because I thought that learning the guitar would be a good activity to keep busy during our coronavirus quarantine. I did a lot of research to determine the best way to spend a small amount of money to see if this was something that I would enjoy. I ordered the "old violin sunburst" and received it a few weeks ago. The guitar is beautiful. It looks REALLY nice in person and those that have seen it always comment on how attractive it is. Once tuned, the guitar has remained in tune without much, if any adjustment. The fit and finish appear to be flawless. Everything works the way it should. All the switches and knobs are responsive and feel like they are of high quality. The guitar sounds great, all the frets appear to be cut well and the strings ring properly at every position. I have an old amp that I use and all the pickups work and sound great to my ear. I have no complaints at all. Without scouring garage sales for a rare mint condition used guitar at a killer price, I cannot imagine getting more for your money than this. It does not feel like something marketed to beginners or children or casual players at all. My considerable research led me to conclude that Yamaha guitars at this price-point are considerably better than those put out by the bigger "guitar brands" for similar prices. Having purchased and used this guitar, I see no reason to argue with that conclusion. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Review: Nice sound, solidly made...=GREAT GUITAR - Great guitar. I really love the aggressive look and feel of the Yamaha. There is also a nice sound quality there. I love the feel, although it was a little heavier than I expected. Overall, I'm pleased with this guitar. It doesn't feel cheap or seem like its made from cheap material. Another great Yamaha instrument. It does, however, have a more mature voice, compared to some other guitars. Each electric guitar has a special sound. This guitar is more mature and balanced, while other guitars, like Fenders or Gibson's, have a louder more playful sound. It really depends on your preference. I got this guitar because I'm really into 80's rock and metal. This is a great buy for 180. However, a quick warning, you're gonna need an amplifier, a guitar chord, a strap, and some picks. I had some speakers and an audio adapter already, but I had to buy a stand, picks, and adapter, a guitar cord, and a strap. Just a warning. I would not recommend getting the package with an amplifier and cord, as they are usually very cheap. A good place to get guitar lessons for free is justinguitar.com. Also, there is a package with a manual in it. Look very carefully, because there is a major component for the guitar in it. It makes the sound go up and down. Simply screw it on, there is a hole on the guitar body, and while playing, rest it on the inside of your elbow, pushing up and releasing to make a WHEE-WOWHH-WHEE sort of sound. Also, if you want it to sound like a stage guitar with rough sounds, buy a distortion pedal. It should plug into a stereo receiver/amplifier.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where do put the battery in the guitar ?**
A: The guitar is nice and thick, so if you need to cut out a little compartment to store batteries in you should have plenty of room! For a temporary solution, you could probably use some duct tape to strap them to the outside.

**Q: Is there a 240 volt version of this?**
A: I bought mine in the US, but for me to use it in Uganda I had to get a step-up (110/120v to 220/240v) transformer and it worked out fine. However, one can order the pack from Amazon-UK and you will get the 240v version of the amplifier.

**Q: Does the back of the guitar also have sunburst? Or is it flat black?**
A: The back also has sunburst. It's an exceptionally well-crafted, beautifully finished guitar.

**Q: Is this an adult size guitar? is it light?**
A: The package says that it has a Yamaha PAC012, which I bought recently for my 10 year old daughter who is a new player. It is a full sized guitar, but not too big for a young player to start with. It is also not too heavy and its comfortable to hold. It has been a very good starter guitar for her. We bought only the guitar, not the package.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a fantastic deal if you are looking for a "big boy" guitar at a fantistic price.
*by D***. on September 23, 2024*

First let me say I am no stranger to guitars. I own over 20 different ones. I have $150-$2500 versions from all the best brands. I have yet to own a Yamaha Pacifica. I have the "other" brand which includes a Tele, Strat, and a Jazzmaster. The package was packed really, really, well. No damage of any kind from the delivery process. Right out of the box I could see this is a quality product. Fit and finish is a big "WOW." It was almost perfectly in tune. I only needed to tweek each string about a half pitch to be right on. I got the "old violin" finish and it is a real looker. Tone is as good or better than most of my other guitars. Playability and sound is just what I like. I would put this in my top five favorite guitars. I could play this guitar with any other brand and they would like mine a lot. I am going to leave the OEM strings on as they are not bad. In a month or so I will change them out for some upgrades. The rest, I will leave everything OEM. Don't miss out on this one. It is a STEAL for the money.
