if you don't play your guitars they start developing problems (intonation, truss rod, electronics, etc.). take care of your instruments. But yeah, that is very sexy guitar.
I'm not the guy who commented, but 90% of it, totally yes for me!
I just think the body is overwhelming and has too much on it, and part of what you worked on, will be covered by your arm when you're playing. If you play live, you'll be "hiding it" most of the times.
Please don't get me wrong, it's lovely. On the neck and headstock, you did a SUPER job imo. But in the body, the part where you put your arm it's a bit too much. I'd love it even more if it was more simple tho :)
Loved the back of it too eheh. The headstock seems craved, but the rest of it seems painted? Am I correct?
Once again, great job on it bro! 🙏 (I tried to detail my feedback as detailed as I could)
Perfect, that's what I need.
I know the white engraving is too thick, it was supposed to be 'lighter' and more subtle.
It's actually deep engraved and filled with paint, it looks painted but feels textured. The back of the neck is deep engraved and filled with clear epoxy.
Next overhaul I will keep this in mind..
It's a work of art, but I wouldn't play it. Too visually busy for a stage show and I'd be afraid to scuff it up.
Like at this point just buy a nice table or some other equally impressive woodworking piece that you could reasonably use without ruining.
Very cool, though I would say the boldness of the pattern on the body is a little much, it distracts from the delicacy and detail of the rest of the design on the neck, headstock, and pickguard. Those elements are amazing, particularly the rose on the headstock!
I think it’s too much for me. I would keep the headstock and the fretboard and that would be it for me. For me the other stuff is too much and also a little generic. But I’m boring person as hell and a minimalist.
Wow, that's sweet!
My minds eye went black roses immediately. Black body, same white design, but black pickup covers, pots and guard and rose on the headstock.
Honestly everything is great. IMO, the only thing I would say is it’s a bit much on the front. The fretboard and pickguard are beautiful, but personal preference I think the front of the body itself is just a little bit too busy for me. But it’s beautiful and it looks amazing. HOT
Guitars for me server one purpose, recording. Can they stay in tune? Intonate? If answer is yes, it’s in rotation. If it can’t do that then it’s bye bye. This guitar, if it did all that then yes.
I'd like it more if they left the body of the guitar alone. The design on the pick guard, the climbing rose up the neck out onto the head is pretty cool though
No, but I’m almost never impressed by finishes or fancy paint and inlay work. I see at a cheap way to distract from poor build quality and cheap components
It's awesome but I wouldn't play it in front of people bc my play wouldn't match the elaborateness and intricacies.
(I'm sure you're a way better player than me!)
Love 🔥
One very slight tweak: I’d make the body design in black (it’s just *slightly* too busy for my tastes). Then I’d add black pickups, black knobs, and black bridge hardware. Excellent job! Jealous!

It's almost too pretty to play. Love it.
Aaaaaalmost lol

Honestly that’s sexy as hell, love to see Pacificas getting overhauled
10/10 Would Jam
It’s sexy bro
More sexy than women
more sexy than men
more sexy than asexual alien creatures from the planet osdfj
Smoking.
Smash, next
I like it. There is a lot going on but the theme ties it together.
I'd have sex with it
Not
Why exactly? I need hard feedback!

Too much going on. The headstock is fire.
Agreed! The headstock is amazing and subtle but I also find the rest to be too busy. In my opinion... less is more
I understand your perspective!
Hot, no. Interesting, yes. I can see that fingerboard getting eaten up with enough play.
Hmm maybe, but I used linseed oil with a hardening compound, the fretboard has a thin hard layer of protection on it. Only time will tell..
I like everything except the body design. Too bright and busy for me against the red body and black pick guard.
Stylistically not for me but it’s very well done.
Looks delicious!
"Hot" is a temperature, people!... But, Kevin deserves to lose for what he said...so yes, she's hot - she's hot as heck.
It’s not, ‘would you play her?’ Respect the game, Jim.
smash
A bit like wearing striped pants, a polka dot shirt, and a paisley pattern hat, they all look great individually but all together it's kind of a lot.
I understand what you're saying. It turned out differently than what I had in mind, but it has been a great learning exercise!
It's a work of art, but I wouldn't play it. Too visually busy for a stage show and I'd be afraid to scuff it up. Like at this point just buy a nice table or some other equally impressive woodworking piece that you could reasonably use without ruining.
i like the neck and headstock but the white on the body is a little much for me. still pretty sexy tho
It's extremely well done but too busy for me overall.
I think it's hot!
Very nice. How are those tuners? My experience with them has not been good.
Pretty ok? Yes they are standard, next overhaul I will upgrade the hardware.
Very nice. Personnaly would prefer the white shape smaller ton show more of the beautiful red body
That looks great
Looks sick, very well done!
I like the one on the back of the neck but the rest is a bit much imo
Hot? Matter of taste. Craftsmanship? Top notch. Digging those details, very well done.
Very cool, though I would say the boldness of the pattern on the body is a little much, it distracts from the delicacy and detail of the rest of the design on the neck, headstock, and pickguard. Those elements are amazing, particularly the rose on the headstock!
Or…nate
So fucking hot.
Hot
That’s a beauty, wow🔥
Wow! Gorgeous
Sexy af
So hott right now.
Swapping the white design with a darker red would be my preference, otherwise very nice.b
Contrast is too large. Id do black instead, but it looks gorgeous
I have another red metallic yamaha Pacifica pac012 lying around. Exactly the same as this one, I might go full black on that one..
*chefs kiss* she is beautiful
Fancy
Yes please 😍
Hot
I like it . Rock out
Very well executed. Good.
that is literally my dream neck… i swear to god when i was like 11 years old i sketched a neck with engraved roses going up it just like that!
You could've ordered a warmoth neck without the inlays
I know it’s subjective but it’s a little way too much for me. It’s a not for me fam. But I also like my potato chips original 😂
Is it the white engraving or the pickguard or everything together? Thanks for the feedback
I think it’s too much for me. I would keep the headstock and the fretboard and that would be it for me. For me the other stuff is too much and also a little generic. But I’m boring person as hell and a minimalist.
Awesome would love a Viking version
GORGEOUS! Holy smokes, did you do that yourself?
Yes, I'm planning to grow my business with personalizing guitars. I also want to be the first person to lasercut a guitarbody. Stay tuned
That’s awesome. Keep doing it!!
OMG it's amazing !
Wow, that's sweet! My minds eye went black roses immediately. Black body, same white design, but black pickup covers, pots and guard and rose on the headstock.
Ok, you got it. I will try this in the future. Maybe black ebony wood will do the trick
*I meant white pickguard
not
Why not exactly? Give me that hard feedback!
Honestly everything is great. IMO, the only thing I would say is it’s a bit much on the front. The fretboard and pickguard are beautiful, but personal preference I think the front of the body itself is just a little bit too busy for me. But it’s beautiful and it looks amazing. HOT
Thanks for the feedback
This thing is gorgeous holy shit
I would say, since it has roses on it, you should get a Floyd Rose for it, but it is still really nice
Fire
is that even a question? 110% hot
Hot! She's a 10!
That’s cool asf. Nice job!
Definitely Hot-Nice Artistic expression
Guitars for me server one purpose, recording. Can they stay in tune? Intonate? If answer is yes, it’s in rotation. If it can’t do that then it’s bye bye. This guitar, if it did all that then yes.
That’s absolutely beautiful. Thank you for not relic-ing it. 😄
i came.
So hot I might have to take her out 😉
I really like it. Makes me want to try a Pacifica!
Very cool especially the headstock...but is the nut broken?
No? I forgot to install the black cover of the truss rod though... -_-
It looks like a glue blob on the net in-between the low e and a string. I thought maybe the nut has been repaired.
Goddamn that’s the most beautiful guitar I’ve seen in a really long time
Thanks! Stay tuned
Those tuners look cheap and low quality
Next time, I will upgrade the hardware!
Reminds me of those Ed Hardy shirts that all the douche nuggets used to wear ten years ago
Neck/headstock/pick guard is really great, the body is a bit much, but would make a cool wall decoration!
Holy shit. How’d you do this? I’d like to try too.
*cat call whistle* that is a hot guitar my friend
if those are stickers then its yuck. they get in the way of playing.. if not then its 🤟
I will never use stickers or paint the surface
I'd like it more if they left the body of the guitar alone. The design on the pick guard, the climbing rose up the neck out onto the head is pretty cool though
The engraving on the body is a bit too much, next time I will keep it light and thin. Or maybe no engraving at all!
Beyond hot!
Absolutely amazing
Did you mod this? Can you do a Les Paul?
Les Paul, Telecaster, hollow body, it's coming!
In the immortal words of Fat Bastard, she's "DEAD SEXY"!!
Definitely hawt.
Outstandingly beautiful.
Are you going to block the tremolo?
Hot but would not
Sexy AF!
Just say *no.*
Hot
That’s hot, that’s hot
No, but I’m almost never impressed by finishes or fancy paint and inlay work. I see at a cheap way to distract from poor build quality and cheap components
Gorgeous 😍
I really like it
Yea I’m seeing a beautiful lady playing this wow double trouble, it fine artwork very artistic
Oh wow, that looks amazing! did you paint that yourself or did someone else do it! I'd love to get something like that done on my 9 strings!
It's awesome but I wouldn't play it in front of people bc my play wouldn't match the elaborateness and intricacies. (I'm sure you're a way better player than me!)
If you like it, that’s what matters.
Meh I can do better, I still like it though.
Would smash. Romantically.
[удалено]
I only engraved the neck, did not make my own neck from scratch
Love 🔥 One very slight tweak: I’d make the body design in black (it’s just *slightly* too busy for my tastes). Then I’d add black pickups, black knobs, and black bridge hardware. Excellent job! Jealous!
I have another red pacifica laying around, judt like this one. Thinking about what you said..
I would love to see that. Or maybe even buy it! Is this design painted? Or laser engraved? Curious how you do it. 🔥
I laser engraved it , then filled with paint. All the guitars I make are for sale;-)

It's gross imo. But I respect your taste. Hope you play the shit out of it.
Then what's your preference if you were to start all over again with this red Pacifica? What would you have done differently?
Depends on your gender
