Yamaha PACS+12M ASP Pacifica Standard Plus Electric Guitar

Pacifica Standard Plus

Pacifica Standard Plus guitars were designed for players of all types seeking their own unique sounds. They deliver exceptional sound and playability, and feature newly designed alder bodies, slim C-shape maple necks with a rosewood or maple fingerboards, Reflectone pickups co-developed with Rupert Neve Designs, and a choice of three vibrant finishes.

Acoustic Design Technology Produces Balanced Tone

Yamaha's Acoustic Design technology utilizes scientific processes such as 3D modeling to devise wood-routing techniques that increase body resonance and improve the transfer of vibrations between neck and body.

Exceptional Playability

With its slim C-shape, carved neck joint heel, beveled body, and compound 10-14" fingerboard radius, the Pacifica Professional is exceptionally easy and comfortable to play.

Slim C-Shape Maple Neck

A modern neck shape that facilitates both comfort and speed, combined with a Custom Tinted Satin finish for smooth, friction-free playability.

Carved Neck Joint Heel

The smoothly contoured neck heels makes accessing even the uppermost frets both comfortable and easy.

Comfortable Contoured Body

The alder body is beveled along the lower bout to increase playing comfort.

Compound-Radius Fingerboard

The 10-14" compound-radius fingerboard enables you to play chords cleanly and accurately lower the neck, while also making it easier to bend notes higher on the neck when soloing.

Newly Designed Pickups Provide Clear Tone

New Reflectone pickups created in collaboration with Rupert Neve Design deliver clear and articulate tones with solid lows and sparkling highs, while the HSS pickup configuration combined with coil-splitting capabilities results in outstanding versatility.

Aesthetics Inspired by Japanese City Pop Art

A variety of vibrant finishes were developed jointly by teams in Hamamatsu and Los Angeles, inspired by Japanese city pop art and the sun-soaked vibes of Southern California.

Other Features

Initial Response Acceleration

Exclusive Initial Response Acceleration (I.R.A) treatment applied after construction results in an instrument with maximum resonance and sustain.

Rosewood or Maple Fingerboard

Rosewood fingerboards are valued for their warm tone and smooth attack, whereas maple fingerboards provide a brighter tone and a snappier attack.

Medium Stainless-Steel Frets

Stainless-steel frets are exceptionally durable, while also lessening resistance when bending strings.

Premium Gotoh Hardware

Gotoh locking tuners, combined with the Gotoh 2-point tremolo bridge, ensure smooth operation and exceptional pitch stability.
