If they sell, it's likely that Yamaha will launch a more affordable line in the future (like they did with the Revstar). A 400/500$ model hits the market sweet spot, would be a great modding platform and they know it
There are gonna be two tiers: the "standard plus" (ca1000$) and the "professional" (ca2200$).
An unfortunately the sunny orange comes only in the more expensive tier...
If you're a fan of niche 90's guitars, you might remember Yamaha's take on the Telecaster: the Pacifica 102s. They didn't make many and they've got kind of a cult base , making it quite hard to find one.
Well they just announced a revamp on the model with the new Pacifica SC and my wallet is hiding scared in the corner.
Yeah but, but while one thing doesn't exclude the other, that wasn't the point of my comment. The point was that you should be able to drive under stress without panicking, no matter what. Otherwhise people get hurt.
Yeah I know, I don't get what you mean
Unpopular opinion: you should not feel safe in a car, because you are not.
You are inside a weapon that kills more people than any other combined, so you should always be on high alert all the time.
If you're unable to drive under pressure then you shouldn't.
The song was an absolute banger and it was just like 30 secs, I always leave it on when I watch it
I've seen many videos starting like that

Did you curl the edges or something? Or there's no need for it?
Love the car plate pickguard!

I learned about the existence of this book almost one year ago and the story is pretty fun:
Do you remember this guy?
If you do you grunt when you get up from the chair. If you don't, this was a meme from 2009, when the internet was a way different place.
This meme came back to my mind last year, when I was talking with a friend and they didn't remember it, so I googled it and found out that his name was Gerry Alanguilan and he was a comic writer from the Philippines. And I found out that the guy, other than being a renowned inker both for Marvel and DC, also drew and wrote Elmer, a satyrical and dystopian story staged in a world where chickens become sentient.
The plot was so appealing that I started deep diving to find about this book I never heard about: the worldwide promotional tour for this comic had to be cancelled due to a sudden illness of the author, so it never took off and remained pretty obscure and hard to find, expecially in Europe, where it had a limited printing but only in France and UK.
I managed to find a copy on eBay last month that could be shipped here and now I'm glad I can finally read it.

As I said in the last post I made, I had the intention to upgrade the guts of my newly bought guitar. I switched out potentiometers and pickup selector for something that wouldn't feel as cheap, added a coil split mode through push/push pot and added a treble bleed to brighten up the tone. Everything I needed I found on Thomann.
Here's the schematics I made with DIY Layout Creator, which is a really cool piece of free software that I can only recommend if you're into this sort of stuff. You can find it on FlatHub as well.
Did a walk-in tonight and I picked the most beautiful of them all
... but I had such a good deal with this guitar that I couldn't miss the opportunity.
I started being interested in this kind of design since Squier reissued the Toronado in its Paranormal series, based on an old Fender model discontinued in '06.
And I found out that Ibanez gave such a design a chance in 2012 with the Roadcore Series and in particular with this mid-tier model: the RC320.
While searching some information about it, I found a listing of a guy selling one not far from where I live. It was a really, really good bargain so I ended up buying it.
The guitar is a distillate of features from all the most iconic guitars manufactured in the last century: it has a mahogany body and humbuckers like a Les Paul or a PRS, an offset shape like a Jazzmaster/Jaguar, a 648mm scale and a bolt on maple neck with rosewood board like a Stratocaster, but with a flat radius and the crazy low action only Ibanez can make.
And as an upgrade, the previous owner installed a couple of Blues Engines pickups, that have a very apt name given the warm tones they produce.
I have in mind over the next months to upgrade the electronics and since the humbuckers are splittable, add a push/push potentiometer to experiment with an alternative configuration. I'll try to post some pictures of the job.
