I want to stay versatile. I already have an H-P90 guitar, so my next one should be HSS. Having a humbucker in the bridge position is essential for distorted sounds.

I have narrowed it down to a Yamaha Pacifica 112VMX and an Aria 615 GH. On the Aria, I'd swap the singlecoil for a humbucker in single coil format, which means it will cost even more, but I prefer its Tele shape. I like the natural finish on the Yamaha more. Has anyone played any of these? I am paranoid that the guitar I receive will have shitty fret-ends, uneven frets or other issues.

I swore to visit that huge Thomann shop when buying my next guitar, but they don't have the Aria. I also read that it's awkward and all of the "booths" to test stuff are always occupied.
