Review: I am simply amazed at the quality on this instrument. I have taken delivery today and writing this review after playing for a few hours. First fretwork is amazing beautifully polished, tops and ends, The fretboard edge is even beveled slightly, a nice upgrade touch. The neck is straight and true so far no ftet buzzing even after lowering the action. The wood grain finish on the body is subtle but looks great, the neck pocket has no spacings at all. The tuners are smooth we will see if they hold tune but the seem above average for a budget guitar. The rosewood neck shows beautiful grain. The body is full size but not overly heavy, the neck is slim and has a relatively flat 13" radius, accordingly it plays easly and smooth like an Ibanez. The tone and sound are great it sounds "like a stat" i would say with a warmer tone, I really like the bridge humbucker instead of the more twangy single coil. The squatted off Bottom lets the guitar res comfortable on the leg for playing sitting down. I would say this is on part with the EART Strat mode, but without the SS Frets. The nut seems to be cut properly , the volume and tone pots have a nice resistance found on more expensive guitars, CONS the bridge is the "early Type" fender stamped bridge its functional but cheap looking. The guitar has stayed in tune with moderate Trem use. Review: First let me say I am no stranger to guitars. I own over 20 different ones. I have $150-$2500 versions from all the best brands. I have yet to own a Yamaha Pacifica. I have the "other" brand which includes a Tele, Strat, and a Jazzmaster. The package was packed really, really, well. No damage of any kind from the delivery process. Right out of the box I could see this is a quality product. Fit and finish is a big "WOW." It was almost perfectly in tune. I only needed to tweek each string about a half pitch to be right on. I got the "old violin" finish and it is a real looker. Tone is as good or better than most of my other guitars. Playability and sound is just what I like. I would put this in my top five favorite guitars. I could play this guitar with any other brand and they would like mine a lot. I am going to leave the OEM strings on as they are not bad. In a month or so I will change them out for some upgrades. The rest, I will leave everything OEM. Don't miss out on this one. It is a STEAL for the money. ## Features - Agathis Body - Maple Bolt-On Neck - Sonokeling Fingerboard - Vintage Tremelo - 5 Position Switch - Number of strings: 6 - Hand orientation: Right - Body Material: Wood - Guitar bridge system: Tremolo - Brand: Yamaha ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003NZ06W6 | | Back Material Type | Agathis Wood | | Body Material Type | Wood | | Brand Name | Yamaha | | Color | Violin Sunburst | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch (6.35mm) audio jack | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (206) | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00086792831411 | | Guitar Bridge System | Tremolo | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | Combination | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | Guitar Strap, Set of Strings, Gig Bag | | Instrument | guitar | | Instrument Size | 18 inches | | Item Dimensions | 109.2 x 45.7 x 12.7 centimeters | | Item Weight | 10.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer Part Number | PAC012DLX OVS | | Material Type | Agathis Wood, Maple, Sonokeling | | Model Name | PAC012DLX | | Model Number | PAC012DLX OVS | | Neck Material Type | Maple | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 25.5 inches | | Set Name | Guitar Starter Pack | | String Material Type | Phosphor Bronze | | Top Material Type | Maple Wood | | UPC | 086792831411 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Back material type:** Agathis Wood - **Body material:** Wood - **Brand:** Yamaha - **Colour:** Violin Sunburst - **Top material type:** Maple Wood ## Images ![Pacifica Series PAC012DLX Electric Guitar; Old Violin - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lJDrZNkmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where do put the battery in the guitar ?** A: The guitar is nice and thick, so if you need to cut out a little compartment to store batteries in you should have plenty of room! For a temporary solution, you could probably use some duct tape to strap them to the outside. **Q: Is there a 240 volt version of this?** A: I bought mine in the US, but for me to use it in Uganda I had to get a step-up (110/120v to 220/240v) transformer and it worked out fine. However, one can order the pack from Amazon-UK and you will get the 240v version of the amplifier. **Q: Does the back of the guitar also have sunburst? Or is it flat black?** A: The back also has sunburst. It's an exceptionally well-crafted, beautifully finished guitar. **Q: Is this an adult size guitar? is it light?** A: The package says that it has a Yamaha PAC012, which I bought recently for my 10 year old daughter who is a new player. It is a full sized guitar, but not too big for a young player to start with. It is also not too heavy and its comfortable to hold. It has been a very good starter guitar for her. We bought only the guitar, not the package.

I really love the aggressive look and feel of the Yamaha. There is also a nice sound quality there. I love the feel, although it was a little heavier than I expected. Overall, I'm pleased with this guitar. It doesn't feel cheap or seem like its made from cheap material. Another great Yamaha instrument. It does, however, have a more mature voice, compared to some other guitars. Each electric guitar has a special sound. This guitar is more mature and balanced, while other guitars, like Fenders or Gibson's, have a louder more playful sound. It really depends on your preference. I got this guitar because I'm really into 80's rock and metal. This is a great buy for 180. However, a quick warning, you're gonna need an amplifier, a guitar chord, a strap, and some picks. I had some speakers and an audio adapter already, but I had to buy a stand, picks, and adapter, a guitar cord, and a strap. Just a warning. I would not recommend getting the package with an amplifier and cord, as they are usually very cheap. A good place to get guitar lessons for free is justinguitar.com. Also, there is a package with a manual in it. Look very carefully, because there is a major component for the guitar in it. It makes the sound go up and down. Simply screw it on, there is a hole on the guitar body, and while playing, rest it on the inside of your elbow, pushing up and releasing to make a WHEE-WOWHH-WHEE sort of sound. Also, if you want it to sound like a stage guitar with rough sounds, buy a distortion pedal. It should plug into a stereo receiver/amplifier. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha Pacifica Series PAC012DLX Electric Guitar; Old Violin Sunburst - New bee Guitar Cable 10ft Electric Instrument Bass AMP Cord for Electric Mandolin, Pro Audio (Right Angle to Straight, Black) - Amazon Basics Adjustable Folding Guitar Stand, A-shape, Fully Assembled - For School Music Program, Concerts & Multiple Users, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/723884498-pacifica-series-pac012dlx-electric-guitar-old-violin](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/723884498-pacifica-series-pac012dlx-electric-guitar-old-violin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
