Pros

I am an avid yamaha fan and this pacifica will not disappoint. The fit and finish appear to be flawless. It's solid, graceful and great for beginners.

The metallic blue is as beautiful to look at as it is to play. This guitar is awesome.

The action is just fine as it is, no need of truss rod adjustments. Bar, wrench, and manual come in a little baggie taped to the padding or the inside of the box. Comes in a well packaged huge box.

The yamaha pacifica is thicker and heavier than the squier affinity by fender yet has a smaller body. It's nice to have the humbucker in the bridge position instead of the standard stratocaster-style three single coil. Even at setting 4 where the midd...  Read More

Bought this for my daughter. Fantastic starter. Highly recommend this usa seller.



Cons

It needed set up right out of the box which was not unexpected but cost 65 but also included a new set of extra light strings


At any rate imho pos 1 and 2 are a “yamaha” voice while 3 and 5 are a mex strat voice

Packaging/appearance


The less rounded edges of the yamaha make it easier to play sitting down as it hugs the legs better and doesn’t slide down like the strats


While it plays fairly decent straight out of the box youll get maximum benefit with a proper setup


First given the poor packaging im surprised it made in one piece it came with very little cushioning material in a thin cardbo...  Read More


I actually had to do minor adjustments out of the box

Competitiveness


This was a gift for a 10yr old first time owner guitar no complaints


I like it better than my sons squier
