Do u know the difference of yamaha pacifica 212 vqm and squier affinity stratocaster?

wheat geode Mar 3, 2024, 10:27 AM

#

difference is huge lol

#

yamaha is a lot better than an affinity strat

past pulsar Mar 3, 2024, 10:28 AM

#

how so?

wheat geode Mar 3, 2024, 10:29 AM

#

higher quality parts, better quality control

past pulsar Mar 3, 2024, 10:30 AM

#

I wonder what makes the affinity more costly..

wheat geode Mar 3, 2024, 10:30 AM

#

the yamaha is more versatile (unless u mean the HSS squier affinity)

wheat geode Mar 3, 2024, 10:30 AM

past pulsar I wonder what makes the affinity more costly..

are you sure you're looking at the right guitar

past pulsar Mar 3, 2024, 10:30 AM

#

wheat geode are you sure you're looking at the right guitar

squier affinity SSS

#

cost like 60$ more than pacifica

wheat geode Mar 3, 2024, 10:30 AM

#

the pacifica is like 200$ more than an affinity strat

#

well maybe that's an exaggeration

wheat geode humbuckers are always big

#

im talking abt the black thing around the humbucker

wheat geode Mar 3, 2024, 10:40 AM

it could be slightly smaller but typically there's not much of a difference in the size of the rings

wheat geode 40th anniversary squier if u can find those

I’m looking to buy my first guitar and I’ve come across this one if you live in Indonesia it’ll probably be more expensive to ship there if it’s even possible. but 300€ for a 600€ guitar seems like a good deal and I think some people have called it the best squier. it’s another colour but if you can find it in a similar style to yours it would be pretty good I think the hardware is usually gold from what I’ve seen so that’s that.
