A Pacifica That Has Become a Reference: Vintage Spirit, Today's Practicality
The Yamaha Pacifica PA112V embodies the Pacifica DNA: an electric guitar designed to be easy to play, durable, and truly versatile across many styles. In this Sonic Blue finish with a retro look, it combines classic choices (alder body, vintage vibrato) with a modern approach focused on versatility, notably thanks to its comprehensive electronics and splittable humbucker.For Which Guitarist and Styles?
The PA112V is ideal for the serious beginner seeking a guitar that can evolve, as well as for the intermediate player looking for an all-around instrument for rehearsals, home recordings, and stage. Its pickup configuration allows tackling pop-rock, blues, indie, funk (clear intermediate positions), and more aggressive bridge pickup tones suited for rock and heavier riffs.The Sound
Its solid North American alder body provides a well-balanced tone: clean lows, present mids, and clear highs, helping the guitar cut through a mix. The Custom Alnico V pickups enhance this versatility: the two single-coils deliver articulate and dynamic sounds, while the bridge-position humbucker offers higher output and thickness for crunch and distortion. The push/pull splitting the humbucker adds a thinner, snappier tone, useful for approximating single-coil character without changing instruments. The vintage vibrato allows expressive effects while maintaining a traditional feel.Technical specifications
