FS/FT: Yamaha Pacifica (scalloped project axe)


Ok, Yamaha Pacifica 512. Great axe but little is known about them by most (they're an older Pacifica, much higher quality than the stuff on the market now.) These were sort between the middle and top of the Pacifica range, I'd put them just a hair above an average Mexican Strat. Metallic blue with H-S-H config, one volume one tone 5 way selector.

Why is it a project? Well, I used the guitar as a bit of a learning tool. I've tried about a million different pickup wirings just to get used to soldering so the pickup wiring is.. er.. crap the neck pickup isn't wired, so you could do with that wiring. I also decided that this would be the axe to try out scalloping on. Now I did a pretty damn good job for a first timer, using a dremel. It looks like I went too deep and took the fret inlays off and I did... but only because the inlays on this guitar were wafer-thin. I also touched some of the frets in areas so it'd benefit from a fret crowning. I did give the frets are very quick once over to make it playable. Basically I wanted to see if I liked a fully scalloped fretboard. This is IDEAL for that. If ever you've wanted to just try a scalloped fretboard but haven't had access to one, this is perfect for that. Try it, if you don't like it, it's cheap enough to sell to the next guy that might fancy trying a scalloped fretboard. Oh and 2 screws are missing from the neck pickup, but I'm sure I can sort something out for that. The body is in good condition as is the hardware and the back of the neck and the pickups are great.

Basically put, it's useful just for trying out a scalloped fretboard, OR with a little TLC it can be a mega shred axe. Choice is yours

I'm asking £70 plus shipping. I guess I can ship outside of the UK but the buyer takes FULL responsibilty for the consequences of shipping an uncased guitar overseas. Over here you'll be fine, shipping is safe enough to do that and it will be packed securely. I'll even throw in a gigbag to help. Interested in any gear you may have (effects mainly) or maybe a Squier strat or something like that.

Anyway, here is the pics. Excuse the crappiness, my flash isn't working for some reason:

Playable, not great but not horrendous.

I'm mainly looking for cash if I'm to be honest because pickup wise I don't have anything to put them in, lol.
