You can't go wrong with the entry level Yamaha Pacifica - https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/Pacifica-012-Electric-Guitar/pidPAC012-SUPER

I was in the Yamaha London shop the other week trying out a POD Express and after making a noise for 15 minutes one of the staff asked me to try out a guitar for him because he wasn't that good.
He said it was the new Yamaha Pacifica Professional and he wanted to hear somebody play it - https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/P...ic-Guitar-in-Various-Colours/pidGPACP12-SUPER
As soon as I put it on and felt the neck I was in love, I can honestly say it's the best guitar I've played in 54 years and the salesman knew exactly what he was doing
"How much is this?", "£2,500 but I can do you a deal for £1,999"
I still can't stop thinking about it.

I think the Pacifica's that are on price parity with the vibe are decent. The base one is a bit basic.

That said when I tried to start playing again I picked up a cheap used battered Pacifica and it's been great. I actually also picked up an epiphone Les Paul but don't really love the shape, especially for sitting down. I've never beyond the living room with it.

I also didn't really get back into playing much so I'm glad I didn't over spend on it.
