  • Yamaha got the most balanced quality/price/features. Not saying other brands are bad, but quality these days became a matter of luck, while Yamaha managed to keep its level.

  • I’ve purchased a PAC 012 with Christmas money. Only $212. Very nice metallic blue finish.

    I’ve replaced the string tree guide on the head with upgraded because of bad stamped steel one hung up. It would work fine if smoothed out and lubed a bit.

    I replaced the machine heads with gotoh Japanese non locking. Just these two upgrades with new string and set up is the nicest under $300
    Guitar I’ve owned for sure.

    I have a Seymour bridge humbucker on the way for the next part of this project.

    I love Yamaha quality standards.
    Nothing loose, scarred, or blemished. Happy dad!

  • Luna Athena 501 best guitar I ever saw for the money one of more famous private guitar teachers here east coast that taught many guitarists that started their own bands says it’s his favorite of all of his. And he could start his own guitar shop he has that many. I was checking out his Fenders n Revstars n he pulled that out n told me if I can find one I should buy it

  • The Yamaha PAC611VFM Pacifica Electric Guitar has everything you need for stellar tone without compromise. It all starts with the woods: maple for the body and neck and a gorgeous flamed maple laminate top and speedy rosewood for the fingerboard. This combination alone is enough to take the PAC611VFM Pacifica to the top of its class, but Yamaha refused to stop there. A pair of full-force Seymour Duncan pickups in the bridge and neck expands this instrument's tonal palette in ways that make it the perfect go-to instrument for rock, jazz, metal, fusion, and everything in between. Let's not forget the Wilkinson tremolo for handling your most expressive phrases, made even better with Grover locking tuners to keep everything sounding pitch perfect.

  • Its also hella great for late game (for the start buy the 012, 112 or 120, but for late and middle buy the 311, 611 or 612 all great guitars. I like my 112 (Was my first one) and 611 (is my latest one) wounderful guitars.)

  • It is really good for stage too. It sounds really good and I can say that it is not really for begginers, this is more for advanced players who don't have a lot of money to buy expensive guitar.
