Additional Information

Customer Review Summary

The Yamaha Pacifica 112VM RM RL is a fantastic electric guitar that impresses with its great sound and high-quality craftsmanship. It clearly stands out as a superior choice compared to many other entry-level models. The guitar plays exceptionally well, with a feel comparable to more expensive instruments, making it an ideal option for beginners.

The use of good quality woods and electronics contributes to its low noise levels, while the Alnico pickups produce a rich tone. The maple neck and fingerboard provide a comfortable playing experience, and the striking red metallic finish catches the light beautifully.

Setup-wise, the guitar comes well-adjusted, although some may find that a personal setup is necessary to optimise playability. The weight is well-balanced, ensuring comfort during long playing sessions. However, one minor drawback is the tremolo arm, which tends to hang loosely and can cause tuning issues when used; this is not a significant concern for those who do not frequently use the tremolo feature.
