Yamaha Pacifica PACS+12M Standard Plus Electric Guitar - Sonic Blue | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Pacifica has been Yamaha's answer to the working guitarist since 1990, and the Standard Plus PACS+12M brings the beloved lineup into premium-grade territory. Designed by Yamaha Japan alongside Yamaha Artist Services in Hollywood, this guitar features a chambered 3-piece alder body with an HSS set of Reflectone pickups developed in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs, delivering thick, snarling leads and shimmering cleans with the character of prized vintage windings. This guitar is built for working guitarists who want professional-grade tone, playability, and control layout in a genuinely gigable instrument.

Product Overview

A contoured 3-piece alder body is strategically chambered for lighter weight and greater resonance, while a bolt-on maple neck with a smooth satin polyurethane finish supports fast movement across the fretboard. The maple fingerboard carries medium-jumbo stainless steel frets across 22 frets and a 25.5" scale, crafted to resist wear and retain their smoothness even through years of hard playing. Rupert Neve Designs Reflectone pickups sit in an HSS layout, with an HH7B humbucker at the bridge and HS7N single-coils at the middle and neck, delivering strong lows, sparkling highs, and dynamic sensitivity to every nuance of a player's picking. A control set designed around working musicians rounds out the guitar, with a Master Volume featuring a highpass capacitor to preserve top end as it's rolled back, a Master Tone with a push-pull Focus switch for the bridge pickup, and a 5-way selector for accessing the full range of pickup combinations. Gotoh locking tuners and a Gotoh vibrato bridge with compensated brass saddles, paired with a Graph Tech TUSQ nut, keep performances stable through the most aggressive whammy work.
