Are Yamaha Pacifica's any good?

[Ben Thorpe]

I’m relatively inexperienced when it comes to guitar and all the technicals. My Yamaha Pacifica is the only guitar I’ve ever owned. The only other guitar I’ve ever TOUCHED is a Telecaster. From a far more experienced player’s perspective, is this guitar good in your opinions?

My main guitars are my 2015 PRS Custom 24, and my 90 and 91 Ibanez RG550 and 540R Custom – both bought new. I also have a 2010 Gibson Les Paul. I’ve had some outstanding instruments. For some time, I did have a Yamaha Pacifica Telecaster copy. It was a fine guitar that I enjoyed playing. It’s only real problem was that the body was so light versus the neck and headstock that it always felt like it was “trying to get away,” pulling itself down by the headstock. It just wasn’t balanced well.
Aside from that quibble, it was a fine instrument. In the end, though, I traded it and a Fender Stratacoustic for a little bit towards a Martin acoustic.

If it feels good and sounds good to you its a good guitar.
