Pacifica 112VM: Yamaha's "best-seller" spirit serving versatility
The Pacifica PA112VM Ice Blue continues the tradition of Pacifica models designed to cover a wide range of styles without unnecessary complexity. Its format inspired by modern standards, bolt-on neck construction, and Alnico V pickups make it a versatile electric guitar, equally comfortable in rehearsals, studios, or on stage, with a real focus on dynamics and clarity of playing.
Who is it for, and which styles?
This Pacifica is particularly suitable for serious beginners and intermediate guitarists seeking a reliable and evolving first guitar, as well as for experienced musicians looking for a simple and effective "workhorse." It naturally covers pop, rock, funk, blues, and alternative styles thanks to the 5-position selector and coil tap, which allow switching from a round, muscular sound to a sharper, more cutting tone.
The sound
The combination of a alder body and maple neck/fingerboard highlights a balanced sound with firm lows, present mids, and clear highs, while maintaining good attack dynamics. The Alnico V pickups provide clear projection and precise response, especially useful for strumming chords when clarity in the mix is needed. The bridge humbucker delivers dense and powerful distortion, while the coil tap brings out a more "single-coil" character: sharper attacks, more biting highs, and a thinner sound ideal for funky rhythms or arpeggios. Additionally, the bridge pickup mounted on a ring (rather than on the pickguard) enhances the capture of body vibrations for a more direct response feel. In terms of controls, you get a 5-position selector, master volume, and master tone with a push-pull switch to quickly toggle between humbucker and split mode.
