A Pacifica SC Professional Designed for Today's Guitarists

The Yamaha Pacifica SC Professional 11S fits within a "pro" vision of the Pacifica: a bolt-on electric guitar designed to offer consistency, excellent tuning stability, and reliable response in real-world conditions. With its alder body, Gotoh hardware, and modern electronics, it aims for immediate versatility, equally comfortable in rehearsal, studio, or on stage, with a sonic identity clearly focused on precision and control.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This Pacifica is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive, comfortable instrument capable of covering various genres without struggling with settings. The combination of a neck humbucker and bridge single coil covers a wide spectrum ranging from modern rock to pop, including funk, blues, and indie. The compound radius facilitates clean chords and rhythm playing while making bends and leads more natural when moving up the neck.

The Sound

The alder (2-piece) body provides a very balanced foundation: present mids, clear attack, and excellent clarity, particularly effective for "cutting through" a mix. The neck pickup, a Reflectone EH7n humbucker, offers a full and articulated range, ideal for controlled overdrive and rich cleans without muddiness. At the bridge, the Reflectone HT7b single coil adds bite and a crisp response, perfect for punchy rhythms and precise attacks. The master volume with Hi-Pass capacitor helps maintain clarity when lowering the volume, while the Focus Switch (push-pull on the tone control) tightens the bridge pickup's response to gain impact and presence, handy for switching from a wide sound to a sharper tone without changing guitars.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes with a hard case and D'Addario XL-110 0.010-0.046 strings. To maintain the original feel and tension balance, prefer electric guitar strings in 10-46. The supplied Allen wrenches and adjustment bar make it easy to perform common setups (action and playability) according to your playing style.
