Members waltchwarzkopf Posted July 13, 2017 Members Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hi guys,This is a quick one:My Ibanez is on sale for the same price that I bought it used (200CHF still in mint condition), I like it and I play it often; I play it as much as my other strat, but it is out there in case someone “bites”. I could use the cash for another purchase later down the road. I bought the Ibanez because I wanted something with a fixed bridge and 24 frets; I like the brixed bridge and the 24 frets are now irrelevant to me.Today someone asked me if I wanted to trade my Ibanez RG321MH for his Yamaha Pacifica 604W. I have no idea about this guitar (or the brand), I know some Pacificas are starter guitars, but I think there are also others over $1000.My other strat is also a HSS (I’ve turned into SS), also with a tremolo (I’ve blocked it), although mine is a standard 6-point tremolo while the other is a 2-point Wilkinson VS100; also rosewood fretboard, the Pacifica has 22 frets and compound radius (as I’ve read), as opposed to mine of 21 frets and single radius.What do you think? Is one of the guitars “better” than the other? Or with “higher” resale value? The other Strat is my first guitar and its getting a makeover, and until I finish it, I need at least two guitars, one to play one while the other is “under construction”.Thanks a lot guys! All advise would be greatly appreciated! Cheers,Walter P.P. If you live in Zürich and want to get together and jam, send me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted July 13, 2017 Members Share Posted July 13, 2017 Based on a couple of listings at Reverb.com, the Yamaha sells used for about twice what the Ibanez does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garthman Posted July 16, 2017 Members Share Posted July 16, 2017 I'd do the trade without hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badpenguin Posted July 16, 2017 Members Share Posted July 16, 2017 If the Yammy plays the way you like, I would do the deal in a heartbeat. That model Ibby is a dime a dozen, the Yam, a bit harder to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
