My Thoughts on Best-Selling Electric Guitars! - Low-Priced Models

Hello everyone! This is Yamada, aka Yama-chan, your go-to guy when it comes to guitars!

What kind of electric guitars are selling well at Sound House?
There is no right answer to the question of what kind of guitar to choose, but there may be a good reason for choosing one, depending on your budget, genre of music, and preference in appearance.

In this article, I would like to take a look at some of the best-selling guitars.
Let's start with the best-selling guitars in the low price range!

Yamaha /Pacifica 112VMX

This is the best-selling Pacifica from the Yamaha brand. Yamaha really knows what Japanese people like. It is a low-priced instrument, but the attention to detail is well received!
First of all, the body is made of alder, which is said to be well-balanced. The grain of the wood is not striking, but it is an important point if sound is important.
The pickups, both single and hum, are Alnico Ma V magnets! This is one of the most powerful alnico pickups, making it perfect for the modern music scene. The tone knob can also be tapped by pulling it up!

Fender / Modern Player Telecaster Thinline Deluxe

This thinline model is surprisingly popular and sells well. The Telecaster Thinline is the original 2-ham model. The area around the f-hole and the control cavity has been cut down so that it dips in, and the raw sound is pleasant with the P-90 type pickups that make you want to strum it with chord strokes.This guitar is good for vocal guitarists and those who play a lot of cutting phrases.

Jackson / JS22-7

Take a good look at this guitar! Did you notice that it has seven strings? What a surprise! A 7-string guitar is ranked No. 3 in the low price range! We ship a lot of 7-string guitars every month from Sound House! Not only 7-string guitars, but also 8-string and 9-string guitars are now available at reasonable prices! It's a good time for replacement pickups and parts. Not only traditional heavy rock guitarists, but many technical artists are also using these guitars. Maybe some of you might even say that your first guitar is a 7 or 8-string.

Squier / Affinity Tele

The Telecaster is known for this design! And as the brand Squier produces higher cost-performance models from the direct Fender lineage, it is an impressive No. 2 in terms of popularity! This natural color in particular is selling very well! The bridge saddle is 6-way for octave adjustment, and the frets are medium jumbo for easy playing. The bigger the frets are, the lighter the sound is with a lighter touch. The strings are front-threaded instead of back-threaded. The tension may be easy for beginners to play.
And now for the No. 1 best seller in the low price range!

Playtech / ST250

This is a strat-type guitar made by Playtech, a.k.a. “Pre-tech”. “Playtouch” is also not right... (sweat drop) Please take this opportunity to remember it correctly! This brand is an original brand by Sound House. It is no exaggeration to say that the shocking price, made possible by the company's own production, has led to an increase in guitarists who now own a Playtech guitar! I am really surprised that I can now buy a guitar for less than 10,000 yen! The price is so cheap that you can even buy it as a gift. The body material is whitewood, which is a light and soft wood, to keep the cost down. This wood has a good bass sound and a nice thick ring to it! If I had known about this guitar when I was younger, I would have started playing guitar earlier. I only hope that guitar kids will be born as much as possible to lead the music scene into the future!
