@MADMALKO it's supposed to be one of the aged woods build! It's one of the nices acoustic guitars I've ever played! I've been playing since age 9ish? 1967-8ish? Yes, I'm old! 😆
Hey Malco, would you say most Yamahas are very good or very good for a price. A white PE 312 in very good shape just droped $50, was $200 now $150 right now i think its a buyers market on used guitars
well price has to come into it but id pretty much say all the yamaha guitars ive played have been good/very good, even the cheapest erg range are good enough to play in a band
@@DaveE3E Now that it's down to $150 as of today there would have been a good chance I would have went for it but 2 days ago I bought a mint Aria Pro II CT series for $200. I never owned a Yamaha. Right now there are things on Marketplace that are just sitting for weeks at good prices. Buying has to stop some time, I have to stop looking.
@@MADMALKO lol I didnt mean to say I would buy his guitar. Ive got a deal around my around but it’s in another city. I have to ship it before I buy. Pacificas neck feel the most comfortable to me. So I wanna buy one
Quite possibly the best Yamaha Electric, swap out the Sperzels for Grover mini Locking Tuners, and let your Ears be the judge. Then swap out the Bridge Pickup for a F Spaced Dimarzio Evolution, I have a stock one and an upgraded one, the Dimarzio and Grovers make a huge improvement in both Tuning stability. and Tone. JMHO
Some Guitars Sound Amazing with the EVO"S, and some sound better with a JB Trembucker, I've done insane amounts of swapping out different Guitars back and forth, with both pickups, some sound amazing with either or etc.. @@MADMALKO
The Evolution is far more less forgiving with mistakes as it seems to magnify etc, so with this pickup you want to be spot on, and the EQ settings are just as important IMHO @@MADMALKO
yeah unforgiving is the word for the evo-ive not given up yet as i used to have the exact same problem with the washburn wings.im a wee bit scared of the pgm as i feel im not worthy of it whereas the new rg470 with an invader in it just doesnt have that fear for me@@scorchin6481

Buy it!!! $150 so around £120 don't think you could do much better for that price and if it was for sale near me I'd be buying it!

Oh I know mate haha you do know this is my guitar in this video hahaha Not be any Bob Marley on it though :)@@MADMALKO
Impressed
it’s not called 612 cause those are actually 4 single coil pickups, that’s why 604
yeah i think i worked that out in the course of the video?
@@MADMALKO Oh you are right just wrote that comment based on your description. Do you still have this guitar? I am thinking to buy one
@@microsmart714 its my pals guitar and he quite rightly loves it so he wont sell it im afraid

oh im not yet convinced by the evo pickup - got a pair in my pgm and i cant decide whether i like them or not - they are a bit "different"
