Well this was my first guitar when I was 12 years old, I'm 24 now and still pick this thing up almost everyday. Of course, it's gone through some evolutions, but hey, this guitar is nothing but a workhorse.All you really need in an electric guitar... HSS pickup config is great for different styles. Tremolo is good for subtle vibrato, if you abuse it like EVH, Jimi or Slayer, then yes, it will go out of tune. To be expected.
All the parts are top notch. Great construction and feel... It's lightweight, too. Tone nuts might swap out the pickups from this guitar, but stock ones aren't so bad. Definitely have heard much worse.
is such a success driven company, you really get a nice bang for your buck out of these guitars. I've had mine for over 10 years now.

.I own this guitar for last 10 years and i am really impresed whit this instrument. is very good brand. This guitar has beautiful body, comfortable neck (basic components).Pickups are average. If you want to improve your sound i suggest DiMarzio pickups (Pro Track-neck, Mo' Joe-Bridge)and you wiil get full profesional sound!

.I picked up one of these for a donation. Having a number of guitars myself, and checking out various ones while donating, I have to say I was pretty impressed with the quality of the Pacifica. For the 50-80 bucks or so difference in price between lowest end budget models and these you're getting a much better made instrument. Construction details are far more honed on the series.
This guitar will last a beginner into intermediate stages before they start to feel a need for specific woods or features, etc. It's a little simpler than a strat (only 2 knobs vs 3), but plays much like a MIM. Even the tremolo is still more stable than other low end guitars (not heading out of tune as easy). It's kind of a simple, no frills model, but really done well. This is definitely worth the extra few bucks, you'll be glad you went with it. A great guitar to learn and grow on.

.This guitar is deffinentaly one of a kind all right it stays in tune almost always and the tremolo whammy bar gives you a very wide vibrato. Not only does this guitar have a great look but such a good price too. trust me, buy this guitar from musicians friend not a different store because I have ordered guitars from other stores and they are not in good shape. This guitar is ideal for anyone that likes fender, it is like the exact same thing but way cheaper. BUY THIS GUITAR YOU NEED IT! Such good features and sounds like heaven when you play it, this guitar will send you through the roof! buy it and test it out you will not be disapointed I promise you!!!

.Excels as a beginner's guitar. Not a complicated instrument, but manages to have decent tone anyway. Not something you'd take on a tour or anything, because the hardware isn't there and the guitar wouldn't hold up, but it's good to practice on and jam with.

.I picked up the pac012 a few months ago. Just recently dropped an emg-81 into it. Wow what an amazing sound. everything with it is reasonably good. The neck plays well. And the things i didn't like about it were all fixable. If you are looking for bang for your buck this is your guitar.

.This was my first guitar and I've owned the metallic red one for 8 years now and it has never let me down, I have an Ibanez Xiphos and a Bc Rich Warlock in my arsenal, but i still play my pacifica the most. I recently swapped out the stock humbucker for a Dimarzio DP151 and i play it even more now. This thing has been through Hell and it still performs as good as the day i got it. I've dropped it four times, knocked into walls, doorways, cabinets,etc., needless to say its got a lot of scratches, dings, and chips, but the neck has never needed any adjustments, which surprises me because my Ibanez is less than two years old and it already is showing signs of neck warping. This is a phenomenal guitar that i will have until the day im 6 feet under. Thank You .

.This was my first guitar from many years ago. The thing about is, they are such a huge enterprise from everything else they sell that their products are very quality oriented. This guitar hands down beats a Squier Strat, I own one of those as well and the Pacifica outperforms it in every category. This guitar is lightweight, plays smooth as a dream and won't let you down. It even has a pretty nice crunch to it when you plug it in a good half stack. I own many guitars including a Jackson and a Washburn that were both many times the price of this guitar and I have to say it is still my good old favorite.
