A "Standard Plus" Pacifica Designed as a Modern Upgrade
The Pacifica Standard Plus PACS+12 carries the Californian DNA of the Pacifica series further with a decidedly contemporary approach: optimized acoustic response through Yamaha Acoustic Design technology, versatile electronics, and high-end components. The goal is clear: to offer an electric guitar capable of covering a wide range of styles while maintaining smooth playability, stable tuning, and a bold aesthetic inspired by sunny vibes.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Thanks to its modern ergonomics and very complete electronics, the PACS+12 is aimed both at the serious beginner looking for a "real" evolving guitar and the intermediate or advanced guitarist seeking a reliable instrument for stage and studio. Its HSS setup excels in pop, rock, funk, blues, and fusion: from punchy rhythms to thicker leads, it adapts without losing definition.
The Sound
The alder body provides a natural balance: present mids, clean lows, and clear highs, ideal for precision in a band setting. The maple neck enhances attack and dynamics, while the rosewood fingerboard slightly rounds off the upper spectrum for a softer touch and response. On the electronics side, the Reflectone HH7b bridge humbucker delivers body, sustain, and strong saturation hold, while the Reflectone HS7n single coils (middle and neck) prioritize clarity, articulation, and crystalline tones. The push-pull tone control enables coil splitting to further expand the palette, and the 5-position selector switch facilitates quick transitions between rhythms, arpeggios, and solos.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel, choose a set of electric strings 0.009-0.042 (same gauge as factory-installed). A standard strap will suit standing play, whether in rehearsal or on stage. The guitar comes delivered in a padded gig bag, so you're ready for daily transport.
