Pacifica Professional
The Pacifica® Professional guitars were designed for players seeking a unique sonic identity. Meticulously crafted in Japan, the PACP12 delivers outstanding tone and playability, and its four new finishes are infused with the sunny vibe of Southern California. Yamaha's Acoustic Design technology provides perfectly balanced response, while Reflectone? pickups co-developed with Rupert Neve Designs produce clear, articulate sounds. The HSS pickup configuration and 5-way switch, combined with a coil-split switch, offer countless tonal options. Additional features include a new alder body, a Slim C-profile maple neck with a compound-radius rosewood fingerboard and stainless-steel medium frets, and Gotoh locking tuners. Each guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity and a deluxe hard case.
Highlights
Crafted in Yamaha's Japan Workshops
All-new pickups provide a clear, articulate sound
The new Reflectone pickups created in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs deliver deep lows and sparkling highs, while the HSS configuration and coil-splitting capability provide exceptional versatility.
Unprecedented Balanced Tone
ALDER BODY DESIGNED WITH ACOUSTIC DESIGN TECHNOLOGY
Yamaha?s proprietary Acoustic Design technology uses scientific processes such as 3D modeling to create an acoustic structure that enhances body resonance and improves vibration transfer between the neck and body.
Urban Japanese Pop Art Aesthetics
Developed jointly by the teams in Hamamatsu and Los Angeles, a variety of new vibrant finishes are inspired by Japanese city pop art and the sun-soaked mood of Southern California.
Performance and Playing Comfort
Slim C Neck Profile
A modern neck profile that offers both comfort and speed, paired with a custom-tinted satin finish for smooth, frictionless playing.
Contoured Neck Heel
The gently contoured neck heel allows easy and comfortable access to the upper frets.
Comfortably Contoured Body
The alder body is beveled along the central lower section for improved playing comfort.
Compound-Radius Fingerboard
The 10"-14" compound-radius fingerboard lets you play chords cleanly lower on the neck, while facilitating smooth bending during solos in the upper register.
Initial Response Acceleration
Yamaha?s exclusive Initial Response Acceleration (I.R.A.) treatment maximizes resonance and sustain by eliminating stress between the finish and wood using carefully controlled vibrations. Once completed, the guitar responds more directly to the player's touch, shortens the time needed for the guitar to adapt to your playing style, and improves sustain.
Rosewood or Maple Fingerboard
Rosewood fingerboards are prized for their warm tone and smooth attack, while maple fingerboards provide a brighter sound with snappier response.
Stainless Steel Medium Frets
Stainless steel frets are exceptionally durable and reduce resistance when bending strings.
Premium Gotoh Hardware
Gotoh locking tuners and the Gotoh two-point tremolo bridge ensure smooth operation and exceptional tuning stability.
