Picture the suituation...
I needed a guitar, a nice electric one. Having sold my old guitar I was ready for a decent guitar, a quality guitar, but with out a HUGE price tag, so...I jumped down to my local MOR MUSIC (great shop) and after having a test play, decided to part with my 200 quid and get my self a nice new Yamaha Pacifica 112 (I got the wood effect one with the funky black plate).
First Impression are what matters, and this guitar impressed me, this is not you usual crappy sub 200 guitar, this is of extreamly high quality (for a £200 guitar). Its solid, looks good, and had a neck to die for, and as total guitar said, they havn'y painted over their wood, they are so confident with it's quality, and it's easy to see why!
Going into the the technical details is a waste of time, but I will say that its equipted with 2 pick ups (neck and center) and one bridge humbucher (gahhh spelling). They are of good quality, and produce a pretty rich sound, but I recemend getting an effects peddle for the maximum effect :).
The construction of the guitar is, as I've said, fantastic, the body is flawless, smooth edges, no unkept corners. It's your classicS type design, double cut away and the strat shape.. The parts are off good quality, but the tremelow arm is a bit...average, but it does it's job. The best bit though is the neck, and the fretts. It's super fast and smooth, if you used too a cheaper/ lower quality instrument, this will blow your pants off(...). The neck gets my thumbs up. The finish on the instrument is fantastic, it's just right, and looks more expensive then it really is, non of your blotchy crap here. The guitar is quite light to carry, and it balences perfectly when you have it strapped (my last guitar DIDN'T balance). mmmmm COmfYY.
This is the best guitar you will get for under 200 pounds (possibly even 300), and what with some places only wanting £170 for them, I have to say you are crazzzzyyy if you don't seize the moment and buy one. It is FARRRRR better then the average squire strat (thats around 200 too) in every way imaginable, and unless you care if it says "fender" on your guitar go buy a Pacifica!
