Yamaha Pacifica PACS+12SB Standard Plus 6 String Rosewood Neck Electric Guitars, Sparkle Blue

 The Yamaha Pacifica has become a household name in the electric guitar world. Looking to start playing guitar? Well, you can’t go wrong with a Yamaha Pacifica. Wanting a modern instrument with a vintage look? The Pacifica is what you need. Now Yamaha has introduced the Yamaha Pacifica Standard Plus which takes the original Pacifica model to the next level. Perfect for beginners and professionals alike, the Pacifica Standard Plus has been designed for you to express your unique sound thanks to the HSS pickup configuration. Alder is prized as an electric guitar body wood for its balanced resonance and clear, full-bodied tone. The PACS+12’s alder body bolsters its acoustic properties and helps it sing with rich sustain. Yamaha leverages their Acoustic Design technology to ensure the PACS+12 is well balanced across the tonal spectrum. You’ll love feeling the body vibrate against you as you dig into the strings. The PACS+12 is also lightweight enough for comfortable playing over extended periods. Its smooth contoured edges make it feel great when strapped on.

Clear, Articulate Reflectone Pickups Designed in Collaboration With Rupert Neve
The Reflectone pickups were thoughtfully designed by Yamaha in conjunction with the legendary Rupert Neve. Neve is revered for his contributions to recording console technology and he brings that expertise in clarity and nuance to the PACS+12’s pickups. The Reflectone humbucker has tight lows, airy highs and focused mids for excellent note separation even when playing complex chords. The Reflectone single coils have presence and detail that cuts through a mix nicely. Their balanced EQ response and low noise floor make the PACS+12’s pickups extremely versatile.

2-Point Tremolo Bridge Provides Expressive, Dynamic Technique
A 2-point tremolo bridge enables you to infuse character and expression into your playing that solid bridges just can’t match. The PACS+12’s tremolo is extremely responsive, allowing you to manipulate pitch for warbling vibrato, emotive dive bombs, flutter effects and more. The bridge stays in tune well, even with aggressive use of the whammy bar. Add some movement and energy to your solos and riffs with the PACS+12’s smooth, stable tremolo action.

Locking Tuners Keep the PACS+12 In Tune
Nothing throws off your performance like a guitar slipping out of tune mid-song. The PACS+12 comes equipped with Gotoh locking tuners to ensure rock-solid tuning stability, even during heavy tremolo use. They prevent the strings from loosening at the post, allowing you to play with confidence knowing your tuning will hold up. The tuners are also highly accurate, making restringing and maintenance a breeze.
