This is another case of a guitar that has been constantly played, and on the road for almost 20 years! A main axe since 1996. After 3 fret levels the frets were worn down really low and it was time for this 1992 Yamaha Pacifica 1421 to under go some major surgery; a fretboard overhaul.
The old frets were carefully pulled. Fretboard completely levelled and sanded/polished to 12,000 grit, and new Stainless Steel Frets were installed. The new fret wire was meticulously polished and now resembles 24 pieces of stainless steel jewellery.
The finished result is an incredably responsive guitar that plays effortlessly! 10 gauge strings bend like 9’s, and the sustain is phenomenal.
A lot of modifications have been done to this guitar over the years. Most notably an early 80’s Floyd Rose system with 375 gram tone block were added. Direct mount EMG 85, SV and 89 pickups, and custom electronics.
This guitar sounds HUGE and has sustain for days!!
