A Pacifica SC Standard Plus: The "Swiss Army Knife" Spirit with Refined Resonance

The Pacifica SC Standard Plus 11S carries the DNA of the Pacifica series: an immediately comfortable electric guitar capable of covering a wide range of sounds without complication. Its "Acoustic Design Process" approach emphasizes the overall balance of response (attack, sustain, lows, clarity) by optimizing the body, neck, and hardware ensemble, delivering a more lively feel under the fingers and very consistent projection from position to position.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This Pacifica is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a reliable and expressive guitar capable of switching between articulate cleans and denser overdriven tones without changing instruments. The humbucker and single-coil duo, complemented by the Focus Switch, makes it particularly comfortable in pop, rock, funk, indie, and blues, whenever precision, pick nuance, and excellent tuning stability are desired.

The Tone

The 3-piece alder body provides a very balanced foundation: clear lows, present mids, and articulate highs-ideal for a versatile guitar that remains clear in a mix. The maple neck enhances attack and definition, while the rosewood fingerboard slightly softens the upper spectrum to maintain a rich and never harsh sound. The Reflectone EH7n humbucker at the neck delivers a full and singing register, perfect for fluid leads and thick rhythms, while the Reflectone HT7b single coil at the bridge offers snap, presence, and precise bite. The Focus Switch (push-pull) thickens the bridge pickup to add body and impact-useful for beefing up a riff, supporting a solo, or switching to rock rhythm while retaining definition.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the original feel and response, choose a set of electric guitar strings in 10-46 gauge (0.010-0.046), matching the indicated setup. The guitar comes with a gig bag, ideal for travel, rehearsals, and everyday transport.
