The best Pacifica yet? | Yamaha Pacifica Standard Plus Review

My reference point for Yamaha Pacificas dates back to the early 2000s when they were (at least where I was) a nearly ubiquitous beginner electric guitar. Fast forward to today, and all of that has changed with the new Yamaha Pacifica Standard Plus - a new standard for Pacifica. The PACS+12 is a very impressive level-up for Pacifica guitars, with beautifully contoured bodies for comfortable playing, smooth fast maple necks, stainless steel frets, and dynamic, clear pickups designed in partnership with Rupert Neve Designs.

Is it a Superstrat killer? Well, it's certainly a killer Super Strat, and I'm absolutely loving it.
