Resonant Alder Body Designed for Balanced Tone

The PACP12M has a lightweight alder body designed using Yamaha's Acoustic Design technology. The chambered body construction provides resonance while maintaining a comfortable weight. This allows the natural wood character to come through for a dynamic, well-balanced tone. Whether you're playing rock, blues, jazz or mellow fingerstyle, the PACP12M projects your sound with clarity and responsiveness. Plug in and make your musical voice heard.

Slim Maple Neck Inspires Confident Playing

The PACP12M features a compound radius maple fingerboard going from a 10" radius at the nut to 14" at the body for easy chording and seamless soloing. The flatter radius near the nut makes playing barre chords comfortable while the more rounded radius by the body allows for expressive string bending. The medium stainless steel frets deliver accurate intonation, too. The hand-finished maple offers an ultraplayable satin feel. Combined with medium stainless steel frets, the PACP12M neck profile inspires confidence and fluidity across the entire fingerboard.

Shape Your Sound With Versatile HSS Pickups and Controls

The PACP12M's HSS pickup layout gives you the best of both worlds, with a Reflectone neck pickup, Reflectone middle pickup and Reflectone bridge humbucker. Combined with the 5-way selector switch, you can go from glassy cleans to snarling distortion. The master volume and tone knobs, including a push-pull coil split on the tone control, allow even further fine-tuning. Play sparkling funk rhythms, then split the bridge humbucker for searing rock leads. Dial in chimey tones or modern high-gain crunch. The PACP12M puts personalized tone shaping right at your fingertips.

Articulate Reflectone Pickups Designed With Rupert Neve

The PACP12M is equipped with Reflectone pickups, codesigned by legendary producer/engineer Rupert Neve. The neck and middle single-coil pickups provide shimmering clarity, while the humbucking bridge pickup delivers tight lows and singing sustain. Together, they capture the nuances of your playing, from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive riffing. The Reflectone pickups were tuned to complement the natural resonance of the PACP12M's alder body. Plug in and hear your sound come alive, with exceptional dynamics and responsiveness.
