Spend my £550. On me. Not you.

You are excused!

Very tempting. The Viking deluxe is just down the road from me but I know yours is a bit higher spec. Really just want a few opinions from the Brotherhood of the Fretboard.

Just a few observations from a recent Yamaha 311h owner. 

I bought it second but in as new condition as I too didn't want to take a bath. I have since modded it but here are my thoughts having lived with it for a few months. 

A good guitar for the money but that is all. It plays well, stays in tune etc so would have no issues recommending it, even for gigging, but when you strip away the hardware it is the same base guitar as a boggo Pacifica 112, which is a good value £200 guitar, so don't expect miracles. 

It also has a very narrow 40mm nut spacing. I enjoyed modding it but it will probably be put back to original and on its way soon.

That's a fine looking G&L !  Under consideration.

Cheers for the feedback on the Pacifica 311 - interesting. Although a boggo Pacifica is solid alder with a nice neck. But, yes, I take your point. Might be too narrow for my large hands as well.

I've a few things I'm dithering over, which is weird because I normally make instant decisions on these things. I'm enjoying the Yamaha THR so much that I've lost the immediate need to fulfill my GAS urge.

Still thinking about the Viking and LTD with the P Rails - I know I want humbuckers or P90s so why not get both?

Very underrated, but have a look at the fenandes revelle elites, originally retailed for £1000, I got mine 2nd had for 500, it's honestly the best electric I have played, Seymour Duncan, jb, sustainer pickup, gotoh machine heads, full maple cap with full binding, I have had 5 les pauls in my time and I can honestly say this does beat them, it's now my go to electric

seems like you have no real need for anything... why not hide the money in your sock drawer until the next £550 spare come s along and have a reassessment...

I personally would go for a Green Godin LGX

Hog body with maple cap, lush satin neck, humbuckers that split nicely (5 way switch) and an LR Baggs system too for acoustic output and you can run three amps from it :-) even comes with a nice moulded hard case.

25.5 scale same as a tele. Loads of tonal variety

....yes I am selling one and it is a shameless plug.

Unsurprisingly, given that my last comment in the thread was August 2013, the cash has long since gone!!

H0w the heck did this thread get resurrected!!......actually it may have been me, I was browsing through the old posts, late last night , and must have forgot to refresh to the first page...lol, oh well.

xmrchi

That is a nice going tho I must say

Go with what you suggested, an Epi LP tribute, excellent guitars and some buckers to go with your single coils.

Or a Gibson LPJ/SGJ

Plug or not, that's an incredible looking thing, and good value.

Want want want want I'm so poor
