There are so many electric guitars at the cheaper end of the market that deciding which one to buy can be a real nightmare. In this review I outline why I believe that the Pacifica 604W is the best in the price range. This guitar truly is a bargain, priced at around £415. Yamaha have been very generous in this model – about time!

Firstly lets take a look at what is included: Wilkinson VS-100 tremolo, sperzel locking tuners, 22-fret bolt-on maple-neck, solid alder body, a rosewood fingerboard, Alnico V pickups, Satin chrome hardware and a Pearloid pick guard.

The beautifully crafted woods are combined with the outstanding hardware to give a stunning model. This model matches up favourably with many guitars £200-£300 more expensive such as the Fender ’69 Tele Thinline and the Ibanez RG2570EX.
The Alnico pickups are particularly good. They come in a two singles and double-single combination. On top of this there is a 5-way position switch which all combines to give a huge variety in the sounds which you can produce on this guitar. One extreme is ideal for heavy overdriven styles whereas at the other end of the spectrum there is a much more mellow sound suitable for both blues and pop.
This model is extremely versatile and is suitable for so many situations.

The guitar comes in 3 delightful colours: Cherry Sunburst, Black and Translucent Blue. I guess the only downside is that there aren’t more colours!

Good review. A fairly detailed description. Never imagined Yamaha could make truly decent guitars :)

Hi and welcome - good review, but I think I'll stick with my trusty Westone Spectrum GT. ~ Mark
