A local guy was offering this guitar on Facebook Marketplace for $150, couldn't believe my luck
(Ad pics, nice shoes!!)
Aluminium neck plate from Rich Lasner
Back of the neck refinish is a crime against humanity
Frets which used to be compound radius and jumbo look almost dead:
My pics:
Spare parts and jack are in the case.
Specs were as follows:
Body Alder
Neck Maple Total Access joint
Fretboard Rosewood 22 frets compound radius 240mms to 400mms
Headstock Plain Old style logo "Pacifica Model name Yamaha " Tuning Fork Logo 1 string tree
Tuners Yamaha Diecast
Pickups 512 Black Alnico (probably V) Humbucker and 2 white Alnico (probably ii) single coils
Pickups 521 same spec as above but 1 black humbucker and 1 white humbucker
Controls Chrome 1 Volume 1 Tone 5 way switch No coil tap
Nut 43mms
Hardware Chrome
Bridge Standard Yamaha Vibrato
Pickguard White Laminated
Colours 512 Pacific Blue, Black, Metallic Red, White
Colours 521 Black, Deep Blue Metallic, Metallic Red, White
Planning to maybe respray the body, refret and maybe pickup change back to stock?
Definitely will refinish the neck.
Never fretted a compound radius neck before, will be interesting!!
