    When our son did his music degree, we bought him a 5-string Yamaha Bass. It came with a 5-Year Warranty, which to me was a mark of confidence in their product.
    He's had that Bass for over 10 years, and its still his main Bass.

    Yamaha has really stepped it up in recent years.
    I own a Revstar Standard RSS02T with P90s and it get more play time than all my other electrics.
    I had considered getting the MIJ Pro model but the Standard is so good I felt no need once I played it a bit. After it settled in for a few weeks I did a setup and it has remained stable. Tuners are smooth and stable. Fret work excellent. Pickups awesome. Starting to feel 'played in' after less than a year. Set up with DR Blues pure nickel 10-46, she just sings the blues.
    To me, the "best" guitars are the ones that disappear to your awareness when playing them. See the frets, feel the flow, let it sing.

    I gigged for years with a Pacifica 712. I gave it to my son and he loves it and every time I go visit him I take it from his rack and play it. I know way more about guitars now and didn’t realise how great that guitars really was when I owned it. It’s solid and plays incredibly well. I bought a Silver sky a few months ago but should have waited to get the Professional. Oh wait I can use another strat lol!!!

    I have a used older Pacifica, and every day I thank that person for selling it to the guy that I bought it from. It will NEVER leave my collection. It also inspired me to buy two THR amps. So I'm kind of a Yamaha junkie lol. The tones I get out of that Pacifica are pure mojo to me.

    I've always loved Yamahas. My first acoustic was an early years Yamaha Red Label. I loaned it to a friend who sold it. Never spoke to that person again. Have an SA-2100 that looks and plays even better than my Gibson 335. It's absolutely a work of art, and with the push-push pots, it is absolutely the most versatile guitar I will ever own.

    I have a Yamaha bass that I bought second hand and I love it. Whomever had it before must have been a slapper because the action was way too low (and I like low action) but once I did a set up on it, it plays like a dream. I like it better than some of the more expensive stuff.

    Great demo, I know Jonathan and his technique are used to fatty fat necks as a reference point, and he was still playing with his thumb rapped over and with webbing/partial palm support behind the neck, so im guessing they really must have worked on their neck shape/size/dimensions as opposed to older models this style of technique doesn't suit, (which i still love tho:).

    My only electric guitar is a Yamaha Pacifica. It was priced right, sounds great, and fit my needs. I am primarily an acoustic player but wanted to expand a bit. But I didn't want to spend the "big bucks". Will I move on from it at some point and go for another brand? Probably. But this one is working fine. If I get another, it will be a Fender or... PRS!

      Because the Fender wouldn't be as good, in the eyes of many. That's subjective, but people rave about Yamaha's build quality. You'll get the flatter fingerboard compound radius, the control knob moved from right where it interferes with palm-muting, chambering and the resonance treatment and Neve Reflectone pickus, etc. I've got the Pacifica Std. and a Fender Pro II Strat, and prefer the Pacifica. Go for what you want, Fenders can be great, but Yamaha guitars aren't a less-than brand. As for resale, that is a factor. Many don't intend to resell guitars like this. If resale is primary though, consider Gibson.

    There are sub $200 guitars that come with quality stainless steel frets. flame roasted maple necks, locking tuners etc (Firefly Guitars). The fact that Gibson or Fender won't offer stainless steel frets as a standard option on their significantly more expensive guitars is a sham. As long as the bulk of their current buyers are looking for faithful reissues of old guitars, and are willing to play big money for them, there is little incentive for Gibson or Fender to innovate and or provide modern features. Once all the boomers die off, who is going to want the same guitars your grandpa played?
