Re: Pics of my Pacifica


I've never played a Pacifica in my life, but I hear they are one of those guitars that if you love them, nothing else will do.

Sweet Axe Myst and Rain.

My Yamaha is the finest guitar I played so far too. It's amazing. I'm glad to hear you like the pics, Ibanez249. I'll see if I can find any more which are worth posting. I took a lot of them the other day.
It's exactly the same colour as yours

I should get some pics of my 3 Pacificas done when my broadband is back online. I actually had 4 but I give my Dad my early 312 because he picked it up and was amazed like I was that a guitar that is supposed to be a beginner/intermediate guitar could be of such good quality.

This thread is great Yamaha love They deserve it too.

I'm really gassing for a 904 like this one but in blue:

Re: Pics of my Pacifica


That 904 looks gorgeous, Ibanez249. I love the lettering on the headstock.

You can see that well in this pic, taken from this site. I don't know if it's a 904, but it's similar type lettering. In the 'equipments' section of that site, you'll find a lot of pictures of customised Yamaha Pacificas, by the way.



You should check out the Japanese Yamaha site. There are really beautiful, big photos there. Like this one.

I found out what it is. It's called the 'blower' switch, which bypasses the tone circuitry. Apparently, this gives the guitar a 'rawer' humbucking sound, useful for heavy schredding.

That's a cool Yamaha, Big Job. Very original finish.

It is not possible to order a Yamaha from Japan. I asked Yamaha a while ago and they said that it wasn't possible. It's too bad. They've got some cool Pacificas out there in Japan.

Yeah it looks schweet...



It's probably a fraction of the price of a J-Custom too.
