A Pacifica That Has Become a Standard Since 1991

Launched in 1991, the Pacifica series has established itself as a classic for starting electric guitar and progressing confidently. Designed in Yamaha's California workshops, the Pacifica focuses on essentials: robust construction, precise setup, and proven materials for a durable guitar capable of accompanying your first years of playing without frustration.

For Whom and Which Styles?

The Yamaha Pacifica 112VM Maple is primarily aimed at beginners and intermediate guitarists who want a serious, comfortable guitar versatile enough to explore various genres. Thanks to its pickup configuration and vibrato, it easily covers rock, funk, blues, pop, and can also venture into more jazz colors by adjusting volume and tone. It's a relevant choice if you're looking for a single instrument that can follow your desires, from punchy riffs to crisp rhythms.

The Sound

Its alder body provides a very musical balance: clean lows, present mids, and clear highs, which helps maintain definition both in clean tones and with distortion. The maple neck enhances attack and responsiveness, ideal for precise lines, funk chords, and solos that need to "cut through" the mix.

Regarding pickups, the Alnico V custom offer a dynamic grain and good output level. The two single coils deliver bright and articulate sounds, while the humbucker in the bridge position adds more body and power for rock. The push/pull allows splitting the humbucker into a single coil, very practical for varying textures without changing guitars: rounder and thicker in humbucker mode, sharper and more cutting in split mode.
