Yamaha Pacifica 112J || Budget guitars that are actually decent?

- For my Presets visit: johnnathancord... Dad managed to find this for £20...Mad. Anyway, I restrung it with Pitbull Strings and made a slight adjustment to the truss rod, and honestly this thing plays really well and I'm digging it! More to come, but I feel like a budget guitar should really keep up and once you get to the level of gigging be able to handle it, this Pacifica fits the bill I reckon.

First guitar I ever worked on was an old Pacifica for a friend when I was like 12...
Grew up a woodworker and now I’m a luthier
In my professional opinion, any guitar can play, feel, and sound amazing with some proper work and a decent setup 👌🏼
true
Very true
Dang, I could just watch/listen to this on a loop for hours.
Same here! So beautiful... I am already replaying this video four times..
I got that exact model Pacifica in 1992. It is an absolutely incredible guitar.
You play with such good taste, great feel, and fast at the right times. Keep up the good work.
Excellent. It's not easy find a versatile guitar player, to see different from metal.
One problem typical with lower end guitars is sharp fret ends. I found that taking the abrasive side of a dish washing sponge and just running it up and down the fret ends at a 45 degree angle REALLY smooths them over and makes the instrument play like butter
Yeh isn't that stuff also called "scotchbrite"?
@@johnnathancordy yes that's what i use! It's yellow on one side and dark green on the other. The dark green side is the perfect level of abrasiveness to smooth the fret ends without destroying that rosewood
THANKY THANK U THANK YOU! I do have those sponges...😎
Good tip!! Thanks bro!
Thank you three years later
My first electric was a Yamaha Pacifica strat. Great guitar for the money.
Beautiful playing my friend❤️
The 612 versions have various flame maple tops with Seymour sets.. and still priced really decent
My first “new” guitar in 2000. Love them still
this is so good my dude
Wow... your playing is so beautiful.. i think this video gonna make me get that guitar.. so beautiful... im replaying the vid again and again
Sounds great, and for 20 bucks!? Wow... That's a steal bro, congrats!! 🎸🎸👍
Wow this totally sold the guitar for me 👏 beautiful playing!
Hey I’m planning on getting this soon how are you doing with the guitar!!
@@hellopeter9083 got it yet ? It’s the best in the price range imo. I got the natural Satin one, gorgeous.
£20!!?? That's mad. I love Pacificas. I started on an old 90s one and now have a modded '98 402S tele. Great instruments.
The teles I've seen fat fewer of! Gonna keep an eye out
johnnathancordy they don’t come up that often, I got mine last year after years of trying to find the right one. They stopped making them. The o my one they do now is the mike stern signature model
@@johnnathancordy Too many telecaster Thinlines?
@@GrantchesterMeadows say what?
@@johnnathancordy Just speculating on your observation of " The teles I've seen fat fewer of".
My appreciation for all your videos and informative comments.
love pacificas and love your soulful playing 👍
I actually really dig the color combination on that guitar. One time I got a cheap Ibanez and just searched what were the cheapest name brand pickups I could find locally used. Wound up with a set of dimarzios that are still some of my favorites.
I'm super tempted to stick some lollars in this...!
@@johnnathancordy If you can find them used for cheap do it!
Awesome tone bro...
like 112j nice guitar my friend🎸🎧
way more than decent, i got one borrowed from a friend for a couple month....coudn't believe how great it was
marvelous playing. so beautiful....
I'd 'like' this video twice if it was possible.
woow the sound!
Wow, what a steal!. Even at full price those are great instruments for the price. Personal preference, but the only thing that turned me off about them is that the nut width is too narrow for my liking.
I like this guitar a lot. But 41 mm width at the nut is targeted for the Asian market. No way I could play this thing properly, and I don't mean girl scout voicings ...
Feels nice to me!
Great playing! I have that same guitar, same color. I play it through a Mesa Boogie Mark V 25 combo.
going to buy pacifica 112j
I was looking at PAC012s when I saw that the upgrade to an Alder body in the PAC112J is only $20. Yamaha is charging $90 for the 112V’s alnico pickups, for that I think I’ll get the J and upgrade the pickups myself.
I have a Pac012 with same pickup but diffenent body wood and tuners as good as yours. Cheers!
bealtiful song.. original pickups?
Did you upgrade the easthetics? I see a yellowish headstock and less white plastics :D THAT'S the guitar I want but can afford when it's a fender
Hi john. It's a humble request for you. Please make a video on *HARLEY BENTON TE70 BLACK PAISLEY* Tele. It's very versatile budget guitar. I just want that tele to be played by you. The tone u tweak.....
I'll see what I can do!
What gauge string were you using in this? And what brand? Just curious ☺️
Umm this was when I was using Pitbull strings 10-46
Yes the string gauge and string brand will make you play like this!
Where do I find more of this music? Or at least very similar to this?
Is it thick ot thin neck ? Because I hate the feeling of thick neck in my palm.
How do you compare this to Aria 714 mk2? Which do you recon js better?
Hi john. What could you tell me about the neck of this guitar? Is it comfortable? The tension of the strings, do you feel too stiff? Is the string action comfortable? Is it soft to touch?
20pounds? Lucky bastard
sounds great, this is m y guitiar I think, I want to try learn what ur playing sounds good, might try by ear, unless theres tabs already. I play mostly metal tho, n some fingerstyle, but I think my guitar isnt suposed to be for metal, maybe duno
Estoy entre la Yamaha pasifica 112j - cort cr200/250 , cual es mejor ? En cuanto comodidad y sonido
Excelente guitarra y sonido. Saludos
Do you feel the Sire is better than the 612 Pacifica??
What's ur pick that installed on this guitar? The sounds Is So sexy.
Pickups?
Yamaha Pacifica 112j or Ibanez GRX40?
Definitely the GRX40, has better pickups, bridge, tuners and way more tonal options.
what amp/effects or plugin are u using
What song are you playing?
Sounds really nice. What is the setup/pedals?
He usually uses HX Stomp (Helix). Most likely it is that.
Fcuking tone! What's your distortion ?
What should i buy pacifica 112j or 112vm?
Get the 112vm cause its basically an upgrade of the 112j. Has a better bridge, better tuners and better pickups plus you can coil split the humbucker
Nice sound bro.. whats your pedal effect ?
He usually uses HX Stomp (Helix). Most likely is that.
@@iamtorrego thanks yaa
HI I have 5 Yamaha Pacifica 112Vs, alnico pups who could ask for anythin moore.....( one (out of 6 has a warpy neck, just got it from my basement, plays fine..., one I sold stupidly for peanuts for overscrewing one of the tuning postssts, YES it is possible!,, kept the nut and the rest of the tuning machines!
