Yamaha makes great stuff, great deal
But, the Posted price is a bit misleading, standard price is about $2200

I hear these are great guitars, but make sure you want to keep it. They don't hold their resale value that well. For $1,500 you may be better off with a brand that is easier to resell unless you know you love Pacificas and will keep this for life.

A quick Reverb search for "Pacifica Professional" shows every used listing at or above this price.

Reverb listing prices are often… aspirational, you might say. The actual sales prices mean quite a bit more. Reverb itself thinks that a used one can sell in the $958-$1,519 range. Then subtract Reverb's fees and what you might pay for shipping. Reverb is the place you go to sell a guitar when you can't move it at places with lower transactional costs.

It's a good deal for a new guitar, if it's the specific guitar you want. Probably not the best impulse purchase or "I just want a guitar" purchase. $1,500 will get you a lot of guitar if you're a careful shopper and comfortable buying used.

Great guitar. Focus pro audio had it around 1200 earlier in the year

This is solid advice. Yamahas are notoriously well built and solid instruments but the demand just isn't strong so resale gets tricky. A fender which is generally an inferior quality build at the same price will usually resell better because of the name. Just don't buy fender at msrp or you will take a bath.

Yeah I recently got a 2013 American Standard Strat (a great year) in immaculate shape for $899. The used market is full of great deals right now. Not to bash the Yamahas - they're outstanding guitars. Just harder to unload if you need to... especially when the used market is so flooded.

The Japanese built Yamahas are incredible. I'd think really hard on this one if it was the blue model. Hopefully that one pops up at some point.

Does Carlos still play Yamaha? IIRC, back in the day he had a huge chuck of brass that was embedded into the guitar that the bridge was anchored into. That is what the sustain king needed. I imagine that can be done electronically now. I saw him in So Cal at least four times in the late 70's / 80's. Great shows.

That's a different, lower-tier model.

Santana has played PRS guitars since the early 1980s.

If I was going to spend $1,500 on a guitar, I'd buy a used PRS Core model. I've picked two of them up at that price level this year. A 1997 CE 22 and and 2010 25th Anniversary Swamp Ash Special. Of the 16ish guitars I've got, they're both in the top five.
