A customizable electric guitar with dynamic tone shaping.
The Yamaha Pacifica Professional PACP12 allows you to find your own unique sound. Meticulously handcrafted in Japan, this electric guitar delivers superb playability and tone shaping options. Its HSS pickup configuration with a 5-way selector, combined with a push-pull coil split switch, offers endless tonal variations. The PACP12 features Reflectone pickups designed in collaboration with Rupert Neve for clear, articulate tones. Yamaha's Acoustic Design technology provides a balanced acoustic response from the alder body. With a choice of two new California-inspired finishes, this Pacifica Professional model also sports a fast maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and locking tuners. Each guitar includes a certificate of authenticity and hardshell case.
Play Fast on the Slim Maple Neck and Compound Fingerboard
This Pacifica Professional guitar features a slim C-shape maple neck that provides comfort and speed. Its smooth satin finish lets your hand glide easily up and down the neck. The rosewood fingerboard has a compound 10"-14" radius for low, fast action and easy bending. Medium stainless steel frets are smoothly finished for effortless transitions. The neck joint offers outstanding resonance and sustain. Combined with the slim neck profile, these attributes make this guitar feel familiar and inviting to play.
Acoustic Optimization Enhances the Alder Body's Resonance
Yamaha applied their Acoustic Design technology to create an exceptionally resonant alder body. Careful contouring of the PACP12's body shape eliminates dead spots and allows the entire top to vibrate freely. This enhances resonance, articulation and note separation. The result is a lively, organic tone and crystal-clear notes. From soothing cleans to raucous distortion, the alder body produces a dynamic range of acoustic qualities to complement your playing style.
Shape Your Sound With the HSS Pickup Configuration
The PACP12 gives you exceptional tonal control with its versatile HSS pickup layout. It has a Reflectone humbucker in the bridge position, Reflectone single-coils in the middle and neck positions and a 5-way pickup selector switch. Choose from the thick lead tone of the bridge humbucker, the chime of the neck or middle pickups or combine pickups for unique in-between tones. The push-pull coil split on the master tone knob allows you to tap each humbucker coil individually for even more tonal options. With so many combinations, you can sculpt sounds from sweet and round to aggressive and biting.
Articulate Tones With Reflectone Pickups
Yamaha collaborated with Rupert Neve to design the custom Reflectone pickups in the PACP12. These pickups capture your playing dynamics and guitar's acoustic qualities with clarity and realism. Notes have a clear attack and full bloom for rich harmonic content. The bridge humbucker delivers focused lows, balanced mids and singing highs that won't get harsh at high volumes. Split the coils and you get exceptional single-coil tones that are articulate and noise-free. The Reflectone pickups respond accurately to your touch.
New Finish Options Channel Southern California Vibes
The PACP12 has two fresh finish options inspired by the laidback atmosphere of Southern California. The Dark Tide Green Sunburst finish evokes cool ocean hues. Its green burst pattern contrasts beautifully against the maple neck and fingerboard. The Flat Earth Sunburst finish radiates warm, earthy tones. The sunburst pattern spreads across the alder body and maple neck for a cohesive look. Both finishes exhibit Yamaha's exceptional attention to detail.
