Hi Tyler
I'll give you my thoughts on the guitars you mentioned, I have owned a Pacifica 112 - nice feel and great quality for the money. Unfortunately, I found it rather clinical and staid in the way it sounded, it didn't quite rock somehow.
I now have a cheapy Affinity Squier Strat - its the other way round on this one, It definitely feels less classy to the touch, but has real character when amplified, really more lively if you get me.
As for Ibanez I have never found a left handed model to try so I won't comment, which is a shame cause I 've heard lotsa good things....
