china made, sadly. but it was part of the earlier china productions, so the quality is better than the current ones.

Sure no problem, but not so soon cause i am quite busy recently

wat is the diff btwn pacifica 012 and 112 model?
Is 112 hav better tone or?? wat is the advantage of 112 over 012?

I went to a music shop and i tested the 012 model... i think it's okok loh... then the promoter told me that pacifica is not famous among this range ... then he suggested a RM599 ibanez.. forgot the model..he said the bass is better then pacifica..
so.. wat do u all think? pacifica or ibanez?

what price range are you looking at? im using a gsa60 by ibanez. happy with it. i buy it at rm630. mayb can get cheaper at kl.

I tried out the GSA60 and it sounds decent for that price. Large range of tones and got it to rock out quite a bit.
But if playing pure power metal, Would suggest something heavier.

ya, buying a guitar is like finding a GF...... so hard to find the perfection.

Eh, if buying guitar like finding girlfriend, I would have been married already.
My perfect guitar is and always will be a 1959 Les Paul. Perfect tones, looks absolutely gorgeous and not everyone can own one.

And to cheat around, would have a new, younger guitar, like the Ibanez Egen. Versatile to play in any position, lots of new features and light as hell.

the difference is 112 using better wood(alder wood)the same wood used by the fender strats.

Ephiphone SG Special Edition where got sell ?? lol

What kind of Special Edition are you talking about?
Or is it the Epiphone SG Special....... which is a trimmed down, cheaper model of the SG.
You can probably try Beatspot or Rhapsody Music in Midvalley.

When i started out, I wanted to get a yamaha.

Then I didn't, changed my mind and gotten a squier instead for much cheaper. Reason is the salesmen really is damn sure I wouldn't want a yamaha, even though THEY are employed by Yamaha. *LOL* He recommended me to take the cheaper under 600 squier california strat instead.

I'm glad I made the right choice because being a noob, I really couldn't tell the difference between the tones, and furthermore, humbuckers are not so good for clean sound, and the strat was wired in a way that at position 2 and 4, it cancels hums, works something like a humbucker already, not bad for SSS single coils.

Now, I find I really prefer the cleans of a typical strat. Everytime I turn on the amp, or the amp modeler software, I cannot resist using the clean settings, I like to hear my notes clearly.

But if I were to turn back time, I suggest giving the samick malibu mb1 a test too, because it is cheap, rm 410 and I saw a guy testing it, the guitar has crazy and incredible sustain, but he was testing the left-handed version of course. Not sure if it's because of his vibrato technique, but the fella was doing a simple vibrato after hitting a note and it went on like, for 10 seconds or more with his fingers doing the vibrato on one of the frets.

As for yamaha, I can vouch for this. I went to a yamaha music store that sells not just yamaha but also other brand guitars.

The sales assistant told me, he does not recommend getting a yamaha because their pickups sucks. I have no idea how true that is, but coming from someone who is employed by yamaha, but prefer to sell other cheaper guitars to customers (they carry ibanez and other brands besides inhouse yamaha (most need to be ordered because they're not popular, even the pacifica), I really wonder why.

If I wanted something better, they will usually move me to pick either the squier Standard series (rm 800 range), which has now possibly the same quality as standard fenders because fender is moving all their standard entry level strat to squier or they might recommend me ibanez for something more metal related if that's my style.


Btw, there's a new brand popping up recently, has anyone heard of Morrison ?

I couldn't find any information about this guitar, but for under 800, you can get a JEM steve vai clone (hole handle) with 24 frets.

Morrison seems to be ripping off steve vai signature series.

dont quote me on that, that's what one of the guy who tested it told me.

He said he rather get the new squier standard than an entry level fender strat.

It might be true, considering the price difference and all(but does the Squier Std only costs RM800 now?). Anyone care to bring the light on this?

The price I saw at bentleys, and the price I saw in JB, are the 800 ringgit mark.

But personally, if I get another strat, it would be a samick malibu mb1.

I beg to differ. Both single coils and humbuckers give out different sounds. There is no such thing as 'humbuckers are not so good for clean sound' .. as it is catered for a different type of sound, heavier and deeper on bass whereas single coils are brighter.

If humbuckers are not good for clean sound, why are so many professionals still using HH guitars for their clean songs? Look at Metallica, Led Zeppelin, GnR .. the list is just endless.

You just happen to PREFER the cleans of a standard strat. Good for you. But don't mislead people by saying humbuckers give out bad cleans, because that's just not true at all.

It's like saying all heavy metal guitars suck because you happen to like jazz.

I'm no fanboy of HH guitars btw. I just find your statement rather biased and inaccurate.
