@thecaveofthedead 2 года назад

If you started playing in the '90s, both of these sound superb for beginner's guitars. Pacifica 112s were always built well but the pickups were a weakness. Now I'd give it a slight edge over the Ibanez soundwise. The Pacifica has a vintage strat tone that was fairly rare even on pro guitars 20 years ago without changing the pickups. Either of these guitars would be playable at any level with a setup and a few inexpensive parts upgrades which would largely be improvements in feel.

@daghetto101 2 года назад

I have both the 612 and AZ2204. Both are my main guitars. Theyre pretty much on par. But im using the Ibanez more often since i have this guilt deep down in my heart that says "Hey Self, You bought this for $2000 so you must use it". So my Yamaha is basically my alternate guitar and the AZ is my main. I use the AZ for everyday playing, practice and guitar sessions at home, I use the Yamaha every weekends and during Gigs. I dont want to risk my AZ Gigging it. Ibanez in general are great. Theyre my main brand and i have 7 of them. But if i were to be practical there are some brands that can be as good as Ibanez if not can be better than them. Pacifica 612 or On Par with Az's. Charvel guitars are just as good as the Ibanez especially the RG's, and Godin guitars are equally good compare to Artcores.

@bryandoyle7055 Год назад

If a guitar has brighter pickups you can always tone them down, with the dials but you can't do the same if the pickups are darker to start. The fretboard radius is quite different from both. AZES: 9.8" and 112: 13 1/4. The 112 V is rosewood as well, which would have been a better model to compare the AZES. I've seen a lot of players comment how fast and easy the 112V is to play. If you go up to the 212's they have nicer color options with matching headstocks. I thought about buying one of those then I can have guitar that plays well and aesthetics for great price still, and I can mod as I wish from there.

@maekong2010 2 года назад

I am impressed with the Ibanez. I haven't owned one since the 80's. If I live long enough, I might go for a repeat. It sounded quite refined and seemed to play nicely. The Yamaha was great, but I'm not particularly fond of "chimey" guitars. However, it had an explosive depth to its chimey-ness, which could be a nice weapon to have in the arsenal, under the right circumstances. As usual, I'm torn. But the Ibanez gets the nod.

But the two guitars are really great quality, you can't go wrong, it's only a matter of preference. Ibanez hits really hard for beginners, i would love to begin with that 30 years ago.

@walnawk 2 года назад

I think you should do the review. Those two guys could not come to a good conclusion; let alone weighing the guitars, could they have used a scale?

@edwinstovall3334 2 года назад

If I was choosing, the Ibanez would win out hands down, with one feature making the deal: The neck joint. I have an Ibanez RG that sports their AANJ (All-Access Neck Joint), coupling it with a 24-fret neck. That joint permits comfortable access all the way up the neck. It's around as effective at the neck joint sported by my Schecter, which is the same as a so-called set-through. I have two other guitars that have the more traditional, big-block neck attachment, and the always get annoying quickly if I have to do anything past a certain point. I can see where it might not matter to many players, but many others will appreciate the ease of access afforded by that trimmed-down and sculpted neck joint.

@user-pt1ye7vd7m 2 года назад

I've owned an RG, and I currently own an AZ and I have to tell you the neck joint isn't the same to that of the RG's. It goes a bit further into the neck towards the headstock than the RG's neck joint. Still, it's a 100 times better than those old and stupid ass square joints though so you won't be disappointed.

@mitchellratcliff4090 2 года назад

The Ibanez does have a true coil split. If you flip the alt switch and then put it in position 4 it will coil tap and only be the bridge pickup

@walnawk 2 года назад

Since both these have humbuckers, you should have done a high gain comparison as well so we could judge which was also the best for rock and metal. Sure we needed the clean channel comparison but with humbucker equipped guitars, it’s not a complete review without a high gain comparison.

I ve bought an Ibanez because of Jatoba wood (beautiful) and because the radius. You forgot to talk about radius. The Pacifica has as 12" radius fretboard (more flat). I just have a guitar with a 12 radius (SG). So I ve got a Ibanez because it has a 10" freatboard radius. And the scale of Ibanez is shorter. It is an intermediate scale. The sound of both are nice.

Have you got any idea how rare that is on a 6 screw vintage trem guitar. At any price. 3 at 13 minutes odd when you say use a clean tone and it's just gritty as f$%K.

OMMV but IMV Yamaha designed the Pacifica headstock to look like a Strat's, but with an undeniably superior aesthetic proportion. Pretty sure Fender would have been wishing they had done it an aeon ago, but are between a rock and a hard place in altering a trademark icon figuratively cast in stone now without risking backlash through outright rejection from their stuck in the mud brand fanbase. OTOH, I do like the original Fender Telecaster headstock design. Leo got that one exactly right. Far better proportional design.

the yamaha has maple fretboard, longer scale length and alnico pickups.. Offcause it is brighter and more snappy

@mr1bienvenu1 2 года назад

I like the tone of the Yamaha better but I like the look of the Ibanez better. I'm going to have to buy myself a cheap guitar for my collection.

Sound Yamaya good ++,Ibanez beautiful ++

@gilaubin929 2 года назад

Both guitars look great to me. I have a Pacifica 112V arriving soon. I would think that the cause for the brighter sound of the Yamaha is due to it having a maple neck and the Ibanez being a rosewood neck which usually has more bottom. Both awesome affordable instruments.

@MuanmL_Seldou 8 месяцев назад

Yes yamaha 112vm only comes at maple fretboard… that is why i always prefer yamaha 112v with a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard… i tell you.. They don’t disappoint.. yamaha is fire for its price

I got both. Beware of the Ibanez, the metallic parts was so cheap !!! I got 2 saddles wich has losen screws because of the bad material quality, also the string tree was twisted by the pression of the string. The paint is made of kind of plastic easy to scratch and break. The fret job is pretty bad, so the string action is too high to be pleasant. I'm a careful but this guitar feels like a toy. Yamaha Pacifica is 5x better in terms of durability and quality build. It's solid and stainless. The sound is decent, very balanced but basic. Overall, it's a guitar wich feels very better, it's heavier than the Ibanez because the wood is better, so the sound is better especially in the treble. If you plan to buy and ibanez, you must spend 1000$+++ to get something acceptable...

@cuttingedge1987 Год назад

For my part I've tried both in a music store, and I'll go with the yamaha, feels better to me and the mic are well balanced like you said =)

I own a Yamaha Pacifica 612 now. With the Seymour Duncan pickups. It be very nice. 😀❤️💕

Pacifica sounds like a Telecaster

I think the Ibanez is a nice looking guitar.

@fredwolfmusic 2 года назад

I really really want to buy the Ibanez but I can’t deal with that strachplate. Having the lower horn of the guitar and lower horn of the scratchplate be totally different radius looks cheep and nasty. It looks like they used what ever was laying around the factory and not actually designed one bespoke for that body shape.

@TheGuitarGeek 2 года назад

I hear you. I can accept it but I prefer when the scratch plate goes to the end of the horn

@fredwolfmusic 2 года назад

@@TheGuitarGeek I could deal with it being a little short if it followed the radius of the horn and fitted the design of the body. its the fact it is so awkward a design on a guitar thats supposed to be about being simple and elegant. It might work on a more in your face product line like iron label etc but not here.

@user-pt1ye7vd7m 2 года назад

Same with you. I personally love to have single coil in the neck position but they did not have one with single coil in the neck and without that butt ugly ass looking pickgard back then, so I bought one of the HH ones instead. Then like 2 monthes forward, they released HSS AZs without pickgards and I was so mad. lol If I get one of those AZESes, I will get the brightest colored one so the pickgard is not as noticeable.

@maxmustardman298 2 года назад

Yamaha Pacifica historically associated with beginners...too bad the folks here are probably too young to know what the Pacifica really started off like:) but keep a close eye on Smashing Pumpkins's Jeff Schroeder for the foreseeable future, thats all Im gonna say..

@blazinkid5178 2 года назад

How do you think the Ibanez AZES compares to the Jet HSS Strat?

@alnon6304 9 месяцев назад

I have the Ibáñez. Wonderfull. With the right amp. For beguiners. Very happy gigin. 🤘🤘🤘

@TheGuitarGeek 9 месяцев назад

Very nice!

@WailingRaven 2 года назад

It's good to know that there's a triple single coils, hardtail model that I could get in the future (I know the AZES31 is not in this video), because at some point, I might wanna try something with only single coils that is not a Squire and having to block the bridge because I know I won't be using it much anyway. But that's after I saved up and get myself the headless Q52, because that's what I really want right now and I feel like it's time for an upgrade from my RG.

@Masterfighterx 2 года назад

Just deck the bridge.

@WailingRaven 2 года назад

@@Masterfighterx Could always do that with a Squier, but I like the Dyna-mix 8 feature of the AZES31. Being able to get the Telecaster-like middle position and the in between spanky Strat positions in a single package is a win, to me at least. I'm from a place that has very humid climate and bloody weak currency, I would rather go with taking care of a small amount of versatile guitars instead of having to deal with too many guitars.
