New electric guitar!

My dad just took me to buy an electric guitar as my Christmas present! We got a really nice Yamaha Pacifica with two single coils and a humbucker; I even liked it better than the Squire Strat I tryed.

After several years of sticking to acoustic, I'm really looking forward to rocking out with my new guitar on Christmas day!

 

I like it man, Whats your main style (bad question but) that you play? just curious because i have a yamaha pacifica tele copy and the neck plays better than my gibsons and even my real fenders. I remember my first electric man they rock still got her.

Ps after years of acoustic you will find electric a breeze

let me know how she plays

Love and Peace

 

Some people prefer Gibsons, some Fenders... honestly, I used to love Fenders... that was back when I had a '57 Reissue... it was daphne blue... Buddy Hollyesque. I have a new fender and I have to say, I can't stand it. I mean, it gets some nice sounds that Gibsons can't get, but I really can't stand new Fenders. I can't stand Gibsons much either... not until they get really broken in. I can't play perfect guitars. I like having some strange problems with guitars... so I rewound my 498T in a les paul and didn't re-pot it. That's just me...

 

Pacifica's are definatley the best Guitar for it's price range. You can get a really nice sound out of it and the intonation is really good and it plays like a bitch. But as 'Orsino2' says lots of people prefer Gibson's, Fender's etc.

 

Did you get the 112 or the 012. Basically the difference is quality, the 112 is like a million times better in every way.


Also did you get the dark wood fretboard (white scratch plate) or the light wood fretboard (black scratch plate). I love my Pacifica (112 with natural wood effect and light wood).

I prefer Rosewood fretboards... but I sometimes wonder if the Yamahas are rosewood.

 

your life just got better!!! i love acoustic guitar, but i really love whaling on my electric. never stop playing, music is good for your soul. my first electric was a 69 fender mustang. my main ax now is early 70s gibson sg with mini humbuckers. i just gave my fender strat to my son, so that he might discover his musical talants. keep rockin kid, but don't let the acoustic collect dust, ~peace~

 

pacificas are amazing guitars, considering what you pay for them. I'd definitely recommend them .I played one w/o it bein gplugged in, and it felt good, and i've been to shows where pacificas were being played, and they sounded good.

 

Hey, just some days ago I also went with my dad to buy a guitar for christmas - and I also bought a Pacifica

 

Well, great minds and everything.

 

Pacificas are way better than Fender's squiers for the money.
