Yamaha Pacifica 612VII X TGM Teal Green Metallic Electric Guitar

A magnificent guitar, highly playable, with beautiful versatile tones and ultra comfortable. The clean sound varieties from the 5 way switch with 3 Seymour Duncans are a thing of beauty. The clean sound is so good it's almost a sin to run it through effects, but when the distortion kicks in (the juicier, the better), the singles keep high clarity with the right sound / power balance somewhere between blues and hard rock. When the bridge humbucker goes from split coil to full on, the guitar jumps from blues / rock to metal. The sound variety, both on clean and distorted, is simply incredible and each of them is perfectly balanced. I've been a fan of Pacifica for 30 years and this one feels like their top grade, something impossible to get better than this. The only thing to regret is not getting it sooner - it's a simply wonderful guitar. The tremolo is also great, Grover locking is stone solid and the strings keep in tune.
