For folks just tuning in, this Yamaha Pacifica PAC612VIIFMX was sent in on November 15, 2025. And while I was giving this guitar a once-over, the owner pointed out a number of issues he'd like addressed. These include a malfunctioning master volume control, fret buzz, and a loose saddle height adjustment screw. Now, the PAC612VIIFMX is most certainly not your run-of-the-mill Pacifica. Therefore, it behooves me to first share some technical specifications, as sourced online from Yamaha and Sweetwater.
