I just needed some re-assurance that the Yamaha wasn’t all ‘glitz’ and actually a bad guitar and that the plainer looking strat (remember it was the bottom of the line – single color, white pickguard, chrome hw) was a better playing guitar.  Ken

I’m buying a guitar for my 13yr old son.  One being the Yamaha Pacifica 412 for   $239. and the other being the Mex Strat for $189.  I don’t know whether that’s due to   higher markup or if it’s really a better guitar.     It really is a nice guitar, and very well built.  Since your son wants to play rock guitar, he might be happier with the Pacifica since it has a Humbucker in the bridge position.  This however is just my preference for most rock guitar sounds.  Your son may like the Mexican Fender Strat better than the Yamaha.  Guitars can be really personal that way.

You should bring along a friend that plays guitar when you select one, because there is a lot of variability in guitars. In article – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Help!
