[ChrisPutt]

Yamaha is a very underrated guitar maker.

[anthonylardo]

These Yamahas are so underrated it's ridiculous.

[JessesAuditorium]

The Yamaha Pacificas are truly underrated!

[DarrellBraunGuitar]

Yamaha guitars are the only guitars I buy without even testing. Can't go wrong. I've 3x more expensive guitars and my Yamahas don't feel 3X cheaper at all. So underrated!
Please, review a Revstar. You'll be amazed too.

[The.Adam.D]

Pacifica’s are so good for the money and my go-to when referring to new players

[valuedhumanoid]

Damn nice guitar. I work for Yamaha and I get a huge employee discount on gear. So it’s all I use. But the price means nothing if it doesn’t sound and play great, and there’s no issues there. Great stuff

[snowcie]

That clean Position 4 is euphoric. Sheesh, what a beast

[newgunguy]

Yamaha Pacifica and Peavey Bandit was THE rig for us mortals back in the '90s!!!!

[jpezzy-]

A store clerk I met at a local shop said it best,

“if it had a Fender logo on the headstock, we wouldn’t be able to keep them on the hangers”

[hohoucgguztizi]

Darrell is so good at guitar, such a nice style, so many techniques

[appleslayer]

Yamaha not only makes some of the sickest guitars, but some of the best car exhausts on the planet as well, listen to the LFA! The thing is a damn demon from heaven!

[serfillustrated]

I honestly like the more pronounced curves the Yamaha has over the strat. I like the unusual pickguard too.

[justbrowsingaround]

FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting for this video for a long LONG time. I wanna see more Yamahas!

[Viewdelity]

I’ve had my Pacifica for two weeks now and love it. I picked up the natural wood tone because it has the satin neck. Darrell was spot on in the review.

[kryptonicloser]

Holy crap man. I’ve had a Pacifica in the HSS configuration for 10 years now and this is seriously making me thinking about slapping them pick ups in it

[joetspaulding]

Yamaha is a HUGE "name" in the music industry and they are well known and respected. look at drums, keyboards, mixers, monitors, home gear, you see the name everywhere.Guitar guys are just so backward sometimes with their devotion to the Fender/Gibson duopoly!

[davidwoods]

Yamaha makes great stuff. I have been playing an old SE150 (from the 80's) for about 7 years now. After purchasing the first one I had to get another. Each under 100 bucks. They're indestructable, always in tune and no need to change the stock pickup. One pickup, one volume knob, that's all you get ... that's all I need. My other guitars have been sitting untouched for these 7 years.

[ryanwolk]

I just bought this exact same guitar, color and everything, a couple months ago as my first electric, so it's really cool to see you do a video on it. It looks every bit as beautiful in person!

[ronpopeil]

I have the 611HFM. It was my first “nice” guitar and I will never part with it. Coil splittable humbucker in the bridge and P90 neck. Tone machine
