The reason why i i'm considering to sell it is because it has almost no sustain except on the D string it does quiete good just on one string is not good enough and well i posted something about a problem with the guitar before and that was about fretbuzz... So does anyone has had expirience with these Yamaha guitars or own one that can tell me little bit about that guitar?? From what i have been told it's got great value for the price you pay for it it's about 230 euros. Thx in advance Chris You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

In that price range it definitely has some qualities. Just be sure to check out the guitar thoroughly - not all pieces are good. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

To me, it would be the same as wanting to exhange a really good car with a bicycle because the car had a faulty cigarette-lighter.

All joking aside that guitar will smoke a pacifica any day. I'd actually recommend that you save up for a new amp and get a guitar set up. That roland won't do justice. MAN! that's so sick.

It only takes an Allen wrench and about a quarter of a turn on both the high and low side of the Lo-Pro. If your still having trouble after this it might need a truss rod adjustment too. That is a nice guitar... and might be worth some money someday! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Just a thought though, there is a well respected mag here called "Guitarist" (duh...!) and the Yam is in a feature this month as "One of fifty guitars to play before you die" that is very high praise for a so called budget guitar, future classic??

The Pacifica, originally designed by Yamahas Hollywood based custom shop, is Yamahas best selling electric guitar by a mile or two. Its solid alder body, as opposed to laminate give it unique status in the lower end market since its launch in '93. Yamaha is known for its consistency and originally it was made in Yamahas Taiwanese factory before moving to Yamahas Indonesian factory a couple of years back. Did anyone notice the difference? No. Decent qaulity hardware, good pickups (upgraded in 2007) and a proper fret job and set-up make this the ideal starter student guitar or more than reliable back-up guitar. Perfect for upgrading too, as we found in issue 304. every home should have one!" http://www.guitarist.co.uk/page/guitarist There you go!
