I was walking when I saw a Yamaha store, and I saw a nice guitar on the shop window, so I decided to enter and give it a try. It's a Yamaha Pacifica 212VQM, and it felt really good, it isn't a high end guitar, it doesn't cost more than us$500 , but it felt right, nice sustain, nice bridge pick up and very soft to play. I didn't buy it but I'm thinking, sometimes things doesn't have to be fancy , just are what you need.
here is a video of alex hutching playing it, the one I saw it's exactly as this one.

While I'm certainly no pro when it comes to guitars, I'll still go ahead and add my two cents here. A few months ago, I was shopping for a new guitar. I found one that looked, played, and sounded good. I was wondering if it was any good because of the price. I put it on here for people to check out and give me their reviews. The only negative things I heard were tuning issues, all from people who have had bad experiences with Floyd Rose. I heard a lot of positive things.Most agreed it seemed like a good guitar, despite the low price. In the end, I bought it and (after getting used to it) I love it! The total price including tax was just at $400 USD. I bought it local from a guitar shop because they have always done me right. They also give free set-ups on the guitars they sell, and if something is wrong, I can take it to them first. However, I found out Jackson is discontinuing this model (something about them losing money on it) so a lot of places on the internet have it on clearance for right at $250!
