Yamaha's Pacifica series has stood for high-quality electric guitars for over a decade. Their generous features and impeccable workmanship set standards in this price range. Ergonomically shaped body, screw-on neck, classic tremolo and H-S-S pickup configuration with 5-way switching - these instruments impress with their excellent sound, high wearing comfort and a fascinating playing feel.
Alnico V pickups
Alnico V magnets are used for both single-coil and humbucker pickups and deliver a clear guitar tone with good imaging and a tight sound that doesn't get lost when played together.
Coil tap function
A coil tap function on the rear humbucker offers an expansion of tonal possibilities, from hard distortion to an edgy single-coil tone. A switching function in the tone control allows you to quickly switch between humbucker and single-coil sound. Setting the pickup selector switch to the fourth position automatically selects the coil tap function, which delivers a clear mixed sound from the single coil pair.
Vintage tremolo with block saddle
The vintage tremolo with block saddle offers excellent usability. The heavy block saddle delivers full sustain and a voluminous tone.
Ring mounted rear pickup
As with the best Pacifica models, the rear pickup is mounted directly onto the body. This configuration records body resonances and delivers a tone with stronger dynamics than when mounted on the pickguard.
