The Yamaha PAC611VFM Pacifica Electric Guitar has everything you need for stellar tone without compromise. It all starts with the woods: maple for the body and neck and a gorgeous flamed maple laminate top and speedy rosewood for the fingerboard. This combination alone is enough to take the PAC611VFM Pacifica to the top of its class, but Yamaha refused to stop there. A pair of full-force Seymour Duncan pickups in the bridge and neck expands this instrument's tonal palette in ways that make it the perfect go-to instrument for rock, jazz, metal, fusion, and everything in between. Let's not forget the Wilkinson tremolo for handling your most expressive phrases, made even better with Grover locking tuners to keep everything sounding pitch perfect.

Do these have treble bleed circuits?? I just played one in guitar center and the way it cleans up with just the volume knob is incredible. My Les Paul custom doesn't even clean up so nice

The yamaha pacifica is not a budget guitar 😊

Many worry that this type of bridge with the typical 'lightning bolt' staggered saddle arrangement built-in doesn't provide good intonation. On my several Gib/Epi guitars with one-piece bridges this has been no problem with normally graduated string sets in the range of 9-10 high E to 42-46 low E, with the grub screws for scale length adjustment giving some extra range up or down on either/both sides as needed, say for 8s as our host likes. If you need more precise settings for certain strings there's a variety of aftermarket bridges made for popular guitar types with individual saddle adjustment. But don't be scared of these combined one-piece type bridge/tailpiece units. They work well and some argue there are tonal and sustain benefits- this will be a subjective thing you have to judge for yourself. But I like the idea of simple hardware with few or no moving parts. On this Paul's Guitar by PRS there are other things I'd be more critical of but again, judge for yourself and overall these are very nice guitars.

Ow

Imo, I'd send it back if I feel wrong about the product that's shipped to me. I once ordered a guitar that's almost perfect bar from a small chip in the nut slot area. Sent it back the same hour I found the chip. The guard slots look like intentional.

That hurts

If someone doesn't know it already, another way to stabilize a screwed in tremono arm is teflon tape (normally used for plumbing).

Looking to use it for my mic..bought a convertor..would love to have a demo on what all knows are used for😊

Amazing!🎉 Please, tell me, where you buy such fine grit sandpaper?🤔

you got ripped off lmao. wilkinson tuners are like 1/4th the price of grovers. and why are they all scratched? dont get me wrong, they're great quality tuners, you're definetly paying for the name on the Grovers but I'd still be pretty annoyed if I didn't get a discount because I could've just sold those grovers or put them on another guitar and bought the wilkinsons for like 20 dollars on amazon.

Don't do meth

Wouldn't use lemon oil. That will degrade CS glue over time. Get the conditioner Guitar One i believe it is. No acidic ingredients. All oil.

I'd keep it and put the pickguard on. It would look sick with the black pickguard and black knobs and pickup rings. Plus, you said it yourself that it plays great, which is what counts. Keep it!

A trick some movers taught me years ago: take a fine point sharpie, or you can even go to the hardware store and find a color that more closely matches the guitar, and just color in that bare wood area. Those drill holes will "vanish."

I must say that the finish looks a bit nicer on the Epi (at least that's what my eyes tell my brain)

I've heard they're great but never having played one, I fear it would feel very foreign to me.

A little tweak here & there & you're good to go.

Love it !

I tried to send a Epiphone back to musicians friend that had a crack in the neck they wanted me to pay for shipping. Luckily I bought it with rewards so it was free. I told them I’ll get more mileage out of making a video on it. Since then have had two more Epis that renewed my faith in them. One of them I just gave away to a Patreon the other I won. Beautiful guitar you got there though

Thick wires tiny pots

Hey, man! Cheers from the Philippines! Yours looks like a very early if not a first production bluesbreaker model. You'll see RJ likes the abalone inlays put into their premium (top of the line) guitars. Another iteration was with MOP inlays and chrome hardware which were cheaper. The first production models should have a maple/ mahogany body and thick neck. These guitars quickly went out of production for a few years and came back with toned down specs. You've got a guitar modeled on a gibson 50s right there. Big congratulations! Even in the Philippines, it is difficult to find an RJ les paul from this period.

-no one's gonna know -they're gonna know

Shameful

It’s only an Epipig at best

Nice guitar, I prefer no binding, with no pickguard. Binding with a pickguard looks better. If you got a deal, I'd put the pickguard on and keep it. It doesn't look bad, with the pickguard. Playability and tone are what's important

This is so visually discomforting that all comfort gained from the contouring is lost

I have to be honest, I liked the sound of the Yamaha better and not just because own one. It sounded like you compared their sounds based on one of the 5 selector positions so kinda of a short comparison. Anyway for what you pay for the Fender it should sound better.

Strange as I have eyed thru lot of pictures and none got that pickguard and of cource no holes. Yours seems to be a bit more standing closer to the Studio. A top notch looking top and fretboard so no I would not send it back. I would put that pickguard in place even as i do not think that it goes that well with them uncovered pups but in another hand one might toss covered ones in and will look the same as the Studio.

Personally wouldnt be bothered

My guitar store has one…$757.35. If I watch this again, it might be mine 😁

I had purple one L loved that guitar but due to my bad back problems I had to sell it but it was lovely sounding guitar and I miss it

Great review. Beautiful playing and thank you for not overplaying and showing off. Huge turnoff for me.

Nice guitar. The vendor may have removed the pickguard to protect the guitar in shipping. Actual photos would of the product would have been appropriate. I bought a 2008 LP Studio on Reverb & was lucky to get a good one. Bought a new Gibson LP Standard at a brick & mortar store & missed seeing a paint fault & later found the bridge had unstable saddles. I no longer buy guitars online. Seems the total cost of a guitar includes making it right & bringing it to your own personal taste.

If I didn't want the guard on, I'd either just put the screws back in the holes, or use a furniture repair marker to color the hole so that it's not as obvious. I took the guard off of my Sheraton, and I really don't even notice the hole, TBH.

Not a fan of pickguards, but that looks pretty good on there.

It's a chibson.

It’s just buckle wear.

Did this to my leo scala flying v, great mod 👍

It depends on how much it affects the tone and sustain. I would never do this to any guitar so I wouldn’t know.

I’d just put the screws back in with or without the pick guard. I’m more concerned with the fretboard wood because I was thinking of getting a similar model and I absolutely don’t like the lighter colored fretboards. ( poplar composite and grenadillo) so I’m kind of stuck as far as that goes. Even the more expensive Epiphone Les Paul studio uses Pau Ferro which is just as bad aesthetically. Looks matter on a Les Paul!

This hurt my heart so much!!!

What do you think is bad enough to send a guitar back? Let us know in the comments!

Nice little brother to your Gibson, I love that brown finish, looks good with the black scratch plate, congrats on the new LP!

It gives it character😂

Bought this from Amazon last year and I absolutely love it! I use it regularly!

I like the no pick guard 🙏

Older Epiphone, so it really doesn’t matter. Not a valuable guitar, so ya might as well make it more comfortable to play.
