History:
Purchase: I bought this guitar used, in pretty much new condition from a co-worker. When he learned I was looking for an electric guitar he told me he would sell me this pacifica for $200 (I should have talked him down a bit). I was not really interested and went to look at it just to be polite. I was surprised at first sight by what appeared to be a well constructed, decent instrument. After tuning it, playing it, banging on it and tuning it again I could see that it was well made, with tone equal to a more expensive instrument. I bought it on the spot.
What I Like About This Unit: Nice, varied tones for the price. Feels nice, set up nice. Stays in tune, can take abuse. For the price, this guitar can produce respectable, listenable sounds, at least for rock and blues. I get off when I play it.
What I Do NOT Like About The Yamaha Pacifica 112: Cheap. Just Adequate. Doesn't exactly cry from it's case to be picked up, played and loved. Less than perfect intonation. Other musicians may regard it as a toy.
Pacifica 112 Quality: Well constructed. Once played, the quality does seem to exceed the price.
Summary: Faced with limited funds, the pacifica is great for practice, looks cool and sounds ok. Really a great guitar for a beginner, or if playing is a hobby. There will be little or no creaming over this axe, but it is decent for the price.

I feel that this guitar is a bargain at a price of $129.99 because I've had Fenders, and they don't sound as good as the Yamaha Pacifica I have now.
