Yamaha Pacifica PAC611HFM Electric Guitar

Yamaha’s Pacifica series was launched in 1990, driven by the California session scene of the day. The Pacifica 611HFM, sits firmly at the top of the range, featuring a solid alder body, flame maple top, bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fretboard and 22 medium frets. Onboard hardware is high-spec, featuring Grover locking tuners, Seymour Duncan SP90-1n and Custom 5 pickups, a hardtail bridge with Graph Tech String Save saddles and a push-pull coil split for the bridge humbucker.

Flamed Maple Top

Stunning high-grade flamed maple is matched with exclusive see-thru colours for an unmistakable boutique look.

Matching Headstock

Colour-matched to the body, the flamed maple headstock is inspired by the legendary Pacifica USA models

Neck Finish

The tinted, gloss-finished neck gives a unique and irresistibly vintage look and feel

Yamaha Original Bridge Plate/Graph Tech String-Saver Sadle

Tefl on-impregnated saddles dramatically reduce string breakage while minimizing the dominant 2KHz tonal spike of metal saddles. Combining these saddles with Yamaha’s original steel bridgeplate give the perfect combination of quick response and strong sustain.

Seymour Duncan Custom 5

Like a higher-output version of the classic ’59 humbucker, the Custom 5 was developed in response to players customizing their SH-5 Custom or SH-11 Custom pickups with Alnico 5 magnets for a more vintage, less distorted tone but retaining a deeper bottom end than the stock ’59.

Seymour Duncan SP90-1

Wound with plain enamel wire on a 1950’s Leesona winding machine, the SP90-1’s tone is a faithful reproduction of the original soapbar pickups. Short, wide bobbins give a higher output and more powerful midrange than conventional single-coils for a fat neck pickup tone with clarity impossible to achieve with humbucking pickups.
