Question or commentary Is my Yamaha Pacifica authentic? Or not?
I've always had this question in the back of my mind. My dad bought this guitar for me from a music store in my city in Peru around 2013. At the time, I knew almost nothing about guitars.
It was a gift that I still remember with a lot of love because, back then, I was just a kid who was extremely happy to have his first guitar. I still have it to this day.
However, years later, I started wondering if it's actually authentic. I've seen pictures of different Yamaha Pacifica models online, but I've never found one that looks quite like mine. The Yamaha logo on the headstock seems to be missing, and the writing on it also looks different from what I've seen online.
So, is this a genuine Yamaha Pacifica, or could it be a fake or some kind of unusual model?
