hey man..i think you mean Ibanez SA ? Ibanez SA is around RM1050 before discount ....

Ibanez GSA is RM650 before discount..so with 1500 you could actually get a roland cube 30 and GSA ...

bro...

if you observe this thread properly...

majority voting for pacificas ...


and..pacifica have my vote too , since you are getting 112 , with alder body...

firstly, yamaha pickups are better than ibanez's stock muddy pickups..
second..believe me ...yamaha pacifica 112's alder body isn't the cheap china mahogany that GSA uses...not to mention yamaha pacifica has wayyy more color options..

third..
fvck the resale value ...a bash up GSA cannot sell higher than a mint pacifica..
my point is ...the brand is not the only thing that affects the resale value ..

i would think that a yamaha with a seymour duncan JB combination will look more attractive for me than a GSA with seymour duncans combination..
and...this 2 guitars is still at a low end range..so the resale value difference is what?50 bugs ? 30 bugs ? no feel...


i admit that Ibanez has a better reliability ..the new pacificas has the pickup selector problem...
but in terms of looks ...(honestly ..you will look quite bad with IBANEZ GIO ..if you are using yamaha pacificas , u can always say JD from pop shuvit uses it..haha )
performance and value , i will give it to yamaha.

but hey , if you manage to push up your budget..to a real ibanez SA vs yamaha pacifica 112 ..then i would say SA..hands down

all Pacifica 012 , 112/J were made in taiwan

the ones that are made in indon..are EG series....EG212..etc..

ah yayayaya

now i remember..the latest production all MII ..
