Every guitarist remembers the moment they decided to start playing. The Yamaha GigMaker EG PAC012 in Old Violin Sunburst is the pack that makes that moment as easy and inspiring as possible. Everything you need to plug in and start playing comes in one box, backed by Yamaha's decades of instrument-making expertise, and wrapped in a finish that looks far more premium than the price tag suggests.

The Old Violin Sunburst finish is the standout here. That warm, amber-to-dark-edge gradient gives this guitar a vintage character that most starter guitars simply do not have. It looks like a guitar with a story, and it will inspire you to start writing your own.

A real guitar, not a toy

The PAC012 is built on the same Pacifica platform that Yamaha has refined for over thirty years. The solid body is comfortable and lightweight, the neck is smooth and easy to play, and the HSS pickup configuration gives you a range of tones from clean and bright to warm and punchy. This is a guitar you can genuinely grow with. Many players who start on a Pacifica keep it as a backup or practice guitar long after they have moved up to more expensive instruments, because it simply plays that well.

Everything included to start playing today:

• Yamaha PAC012 electric guitar in Old Violin Sunburst
