Upgraded my Yamaha Pacifica 112M

[T-Bone-BBQ]

Before and after pics of my Yamaha Pacifica 112M. I replaced the stock bridge saddles and bridge trem block. I also replaced the stock pickups with a Duncan Distortion Trembucker in the bridge, a DiMarzio Area 58 in the middle and a DiMarzio Injector in the neck and the stock volume and tone pots were also replaced. I got it setup pretty good and it sounds great.

I kept going back and for between the before and after pics
And then read the text
Visually it's not much different
But I bet it sounds amazing now

Yeah, not a big visual change other than the pickguard, but the upgraded saddles and trem block make for better sustain and the upgraded pickups/electronics make a huge difference in tone.

These are such great, underrated guitars. Fun to mod. Happy you made this one yours!

This one with the Distortion and Injector pickups sounds fantastic with high gain.
