Does anyone else feel that these fantastic performing Pacifica's would sell better if they were rebranded to remove the beginner guitar stigma?

[wmbatina]

I own the Pacifica 611, which is the hardtail version of the 612. Instead of the single coils it only has a p90 in the neck position. Its the best guitar i have ever played or owned. It stays in tune for dasy, it sounds amazing, it plays like butter and its built like a tank. And its not just a fluke, i played several more in stores after buying mine, and they were all consistently amazing guitars. I own a fender ultra as well, and ive owned and played plenty of much higer end guitars than the pacifica, but there is just no contest. Its insane how good that guitar is, and it gets even crazier when you look at the price. I cant recommend it enough.

The Pacifica has always stood out as a great player.

[picklesnips]

I own a nick Johnston and it punches far and above its price point. It’s like suhr quality for 800 bucks. The tremolo is seamless and the pickups are very balanced

[gabrielmyre]

I've been playing guitar for 48 years and Pete still plays better than me with his eyes closed. What a great player....

[johninama]

The Sterling is my favorite, just because of how it looks. Stunning. And if they all sound pretty much the same, it's all about which one makes you want to play it, right?

[JonBurgos]

I have that exact Nick Johnston guitar and it is BEAUTIFUL!!! Such an amazing guitar and such an amazing feel! 🤟🤘🤌

[tenebroruncr]

I have the same Fender Strat Player Plus with the same colors. It's a great guitar in every way. It feels good, the pickups sound like Fender and the bridge pickup makes a real difference when you split it. The neck is perfect for me, fine smooth and rolled frets not like the other models. It is a detail of high-end guitars The bridge is also of very good quality and the locking tuners are the same..In that price range for finishes and everything is the best. I also have the Schecter SSS and it feels less like a guitar. The chrome and other parts look of poorer quality. Great video.

[Magic_Man]

I absolutely love and appreciate you guys for putting out videos on a daily basis... Makes my week so much better!

[thesmellycatjazz]

For me, my go to Strat-killers for $1100 and down are the Nick Johnston Traditional, Charvel DK24 HSS, and a (used) Kiesel Delos

[myway]

The Yamaha Pacifica is my choice followed by the Fender.

[Trauzzinator]

I always play my modded Yamaha Pacifica 112J's!!! It was my first electric guitar I bought in pieces for $40!!!

[stringsandapick]

G&L Legacy HSS comes to mind as well. A bit on the cheaper side of the list, but a great axe. for the $

[TheSpiceLord]

Can't forget G&L and the S-500. I'm picking between that and a Nick Johnston currently.

[fateunleashed]

Good on ya Lee for the blindfold idea! This really showcases how guitarists play guitar with their eyes and will diludelet the sight and ideas of things inflate the experience more than what it is in essence. When an instrument really melds with you, doesn't feel resistant to your expression, and the sound pleases you every time you play is all that matters. If you pick up a Fender or a Gibson custom shop and hate it, then nothing about it's looks, quality, or any other good aspect that the guitar objectively has as a product realistically matters. If you never play a guitar that makes you happy you won't ever associate with guitars. If someone or something always makes you happy you'll never let it go, or stop putting time into it/them. A guitars looks wears and fades, a person's looks changes and degrades, but finding happiness in what you care about is will be an everlasting joy to have through the decades.

That flamed roasted maple neck on that inexpensive cutlass is looking mighty fine.

[davidlawrence]

Great Vid! Nick Johnston is the best! Can you do the same thing except with sss versions?

[vangoghsseveredear]

Shouldve threw a Charvel in there! Charvels are crazy good for the price. So many great modern options at a super affordable price.

[axorn]

the ibanez azs in my opinion are also an amazing option.

[ptrisonic]

The Nick Johnson is the one I've got my eyes on, over here - it suits so many different styles of playing.
