Members Lonnie99 Posted October 6, 2012 Members Share Posted October 6, 2012 Thanks to Cratz I scored this today for $125 with a hard case. Pretty much mint other than needing a fret polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members billybilly Posted October 6, 2012 Members Share Posted October 6, 2012 What the f##k? Are they giving those things away over there? Crazy deals on higher end pacificas as of late. I blame Jkater for the sudden interest, in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted October 6, 2012 Members Share Posted October 6, 2012 Glad you got it, Lonnie! I definitely wanted it... I just couldn't justify the trip down there, esp since I'd recently got a similar one. HNGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame Jkater for the sudden interest, in a good way. I wish I could get those kind of deals. That's mindbogglingly cheap! Lonnie, do you have a pic of the back? I wonder how the heel looks like.

Members Lonnie99 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2012 Yes I was and Chris hooked me up. Here's pics of the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jkater Posted October 6, 2012 Members Share Posted October 6, 2012 ^^^ Isn't this the heel that a lot of Yammie afficionados rave about? With the metal plate under the hood? Fret access must be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flogger59 Posted October 6, 2012 Members Share Posted October 6, 2012 Yeah, there is a metal, well maybe not a plate, per se, but some thingamajig to reinforce the neck joint. Score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edremy Posted October 6, 2012 Members Share Posted October 6, 2012 HNYGD! That looks virtually identical to my 921. The only difference I can see is that the neck heel on the 921 is indented slightly in a semicircle around the top mounting plate. Anyone know what the differences are other than that? Oh, and good luck getting the locking hardware for the nut. Assuming it's the same as my 921 it's *not* a standard Floyd- you can get the parts from Yamaha but it's really tough sometimes to figure out what part you need. Check with them as well to get a count- the first time I ordered I thought they came as a set and I got 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lonnie99 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2012 As it happens I bought a bunch of cases last week and what did I find inside one? A complete Floyd nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dunning-kruger Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 More than a great guitar. I can tell you from playing my 812w that these guitars are just magic, your not going to get the same feel, quality sound, and craftsmanship like this out of a regular 212 Pacifica they make now a days or let alone a 112. These guitars are another level entirely when it comes to feel, quality, sound, craftsmanship, parts, fit and finish, and set up! This is more on par with an American Standard and above your typical MIM standard, despite it being made in Taiwan and it being a Yamaha, frankly Im just shocked. I just cant wrap my head around how much of a beast these guitars are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SpiritOfTheAge Posted October 7, 2012 Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 Congratulations on the lovely yamaha guitar. I wasn't aware that there was a 7 series. I've got a 604V and a 921J, both are amazing guitars and like yourself I picked one of them up for next to nothing compared to what it is are really worth. I play the 604V as my main squeeze as I tend to baby my 921J, the 604V was well used when i got it so I don't mind it getting a few more battle scars, but my 921J still smells of the case I bought with it, just gorgeous.

Members Lonnie99 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 7, 2012 I used to own this 302S and would kill to have it back. There's an identical one local here, I just don't have the cash for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
