A Pacifica Designed as a More Powerful Alternative to the 112V
The Yamaha Pacifica 120H continues the legacy of the essential Pacifica series, known for its excellent reliability/versatility ratio. A modern variant of the 112V, it features a "big sound" oriented configuration thanks to its two humbucker pickups, while maintaining the practical spirit of the line: an electric guitar that is easy to handle, robust, and ready to cover many styles.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The Pacifica 120H is especially aimed at beginner guitarists looking for a serious instrument to progress with, as well as intermediate players who want an effective guitar for rehearsals and home use. With its humbuckers and split function, it suits rock, hard rock, blues, pop, and punchy rhythm playing very well, while also venturing into brighter sounds when the split is activated.
The Sound
The pair of Alnico V humbuckers delivers a thick, harmonic tone with present mids and an output level suited for overdrive. In humbucking mode, you get a full sound, ideal for riffs and solos with sustain. Activating the Push/Pull Split switches the guitar to sharper attacks and airier tones, useful for arpeggios, funky/pop rhythms, or to better "cut through" a mix. The alder body provides balance and definition, while the Hardtail fixed bridge enhances stability, attack precision, and a direct feel under the fingers.
