Two of the most popular beginner guitars are the Yamaha Pacifica 112v and the Epiphone Les Paul Standard. Which one is the better choice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you compare the two, the Pacifica comes out a clear winner, not just because its price is half that of the Epiphone, but also because of the tone range, features, and build quality Yamaha has packed into this guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One key difference between the two guitars is their shape: one has the Strat shape, whereas the other is a Les Paul. If you are not sure which one to choose as a beginner, go for a Strat as they are more comfortable to play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
