Rick Parfitt’s cosmetic accessory now available for best selling guitar
Yamaha’s Pacifica guitars are the latest iconic design to receive a facelift from Status Quo’s co-frontman Rick Parfitt (pictured) and his ‘stick on’ guitar covers. Parfitt is the driving force behind the Facelift range of re-useable patterned vinyl guitar body overlays. Initially introduced to fit Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster body shapes, Parfitt came up with the idea after being intrigued by the concept of how to instantly change the appearance of any guitar in a use and re-use way.
Coated in a low-tack adhesive, Facelift is non-slip when applied, it can be applied in seconds to instantly transform the look of any guitar, whether a brand new model or a tried and tested older instrument. It's economical yet immediately effective.
Parfitt is not the only rock icon to recognize the significance of the Yamaha Pacifica as a classic guitar.
Earlier this year the Rolling Stone guitarist, Ronnie Wood, selected a Yamaha Pacifica for his first ever painting on the body of a guitar, turning a Yamaha Pacifica 112 guitar that sells for less than £200 into a collector’s piece worth in excess of £15,000.
Pacifica Facelifts are available now for 012, 112J and 112V models priced at £19.99 and available from Facelift’s exclusive distributor in the UK and Ireland, John Hornby Skewes & Co.
