Pacifica 612V II FM TBL : Give any strat a run for its money

5 years ago

I've had a few strats and wanted to swap it up a bit for one of these and cant say i'm in a rush to go back to a strat.

The fit and finish is far above fender stuff, the pickups after a little adjustment sound great and can do strat tones as well as any strat ive had (5 so far from mex deluxe to USA) and the feel is also very nice to play.

Yes i hear the many people its not a strat .. it doesnt have that "i want a fender strat" tick box, but i cant find any way that its not up to par with anything i have had (most expensive i have had was a new American standard)

Pro's

Fit and finish are very nice indeed

pickups sound great

Feel playing is really nice

Cons

none really the pickups needed adjusting to my taste but that took about 14 seconds with a screwdriver and that was to my taste only so others might not have too
