I wonder how good > the factory's action and factory's octave's adjustment are. Yamaha guitars are typically have a rather good factory setup (at least the ones in that price range and above). Mine was perfect from the start, but now I switched to a different string gauge and so have to make a few adjustments. I really like the P90 pickup on this guitar. I tried out a Yamaha Revsatr 520 recently, which has two P90 pickups (but these are custom made by/for Yamaha not Seymour Duncan) and is more in the vein of Les-Paul-style guiters and it also felt fantastic. > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIaAtO6OABE I first saw the Pacifica 611 at the Musikmesse a couple of years back and later that day Soren Anderson (together with Marco Mendoza) did a little gig there using this model, which was convinced my to seek it out in the shops. :) Anyway, back on topic, I'd like to transfer my Fishman triple play hex pickup to my Variax guitar, since it is a kind of cyborg guitar already :) but I would have to do some modifications to the pickguard for that. For my the USB-MIDI onyl conenction is not an issue, since I only play at home anyway. If I ever need to connect it to a DIN-MIDI only device directly, I'll just use a raspberry pi as the MIDI router. Cheers, Chris P.S. Maybe we should transfer this topic to the general linux audio mailing list?
