Gearank High Notes
- 2020.06: Equal Highest Rated Mixed Pickup Solidbody Electric Guitar Under $200
Tied With:- Ibanez GRX70QA
Gearank Recommendation
The PAC012DLX appeared on our recommended list for Mixed Pickup Solidbody Electric Guitars Under $200 from April 2019 until May 2021.
Overview
Designed in the US back in the 90’s, and manufactured in Japan, the Pacifica Series is Yamaha’s take on Fender’s two main designs – the Telecaster and the Stratocaster.
The Yamaha Pacifica PAC012DLX is sought after because of its very accessible price tag, especially when considering that it sports a Superstrat HSS configuration, along with Yamaha’s brand of student friendly playability and quality.
The Yamaha Pacifica PAC012DLX is highly recommended if you want a good quality HSS guitar while squeezing as much as possible out your budget.
