Pacifica 112VM: Yamaha's "Best-Seller" Spirit, Designed to Do It All
The Pacifica 112VM continues the tradition of Yamaha electric guitars known for their versatility and reliability. This version emphasizes modern playability and a wide variety of sounds thanks to its HSS electronics and coil tap, while maintaining a solid foundation: alder body, bolt-on maple neck, and vintage-style tremolo. The Sonic Pink finish provides a strong visual identity, perfect for standing out on stage.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
The Yamaha Pacifica PA112VM is aimed at both the demanding beginner and the intermediate guitarist seeking a versatile instrument for rehearsing, recording, or playing in a band. Thanks to the bridge humbucker (and its split), it excels in rock, pop, punk, and blues, while the single coils deliver precise clean tones suited for funk, indie, and arpeggios in studio settings.
Tone
The combination of alder body + maple neck/fingerboard provides a balanced response, with great definition and a clear attack, especially appreciated on clean sounds and rhythm playing. The Alnico V pickups offer clear projection and good presence in the mix: the single coils deliver incisive and articulate tones, while the bridge humbucker provides higher output and density for overdriven sounds. The coil tap allows switching from a thick, powerful tone to a sharper single-coil character, very useful for transitioning between rhythms, funky licks, and leads without changing guitars. The bridge pickup mounted on a ring (directly on the body) promotes a livelier dynamic and better capture of body vibrations.
