Yamaha PACP11 Pacifica SC Professional Electric Guitar - Breeze Metallic Blue | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha PACP11 Pacifica SC Professional electric guitar represents the pinnacle of Japanese T-style craftsmanship — hand-built by Yamaha's skilled luthiers in Japan to a standard that redefines what a production electric guitar can be. Its 2-piece alder body features Acoustic Design precision chambering, a contoured heel for unobstructed upper-fret access, and Yamaha's proprietary I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration) treatment that deepens resonance and sustain in ways that typically only come with years of playing. Dressed in a luminous Breeze Metallic Blue finish inspired by the vibrant Japanese City Pop aesthetic, this is a guitar that performs as beautifully as it looks — ideal for the serious gigging musician, studio professional, or advancing player ready for a truly elite instrument. Serial Number: IMH475E. Made in Japan.
Product Overview
The PACP11 Pacifica SC Professional is centered on a 2-piece alder body — a tighter, more resonant configuration than the 3-piece bodies found on entry and mid-tier instruments — enhanced by precision Acoustic Design chambering that reduces weight while opening up the guitar's natural midrange and tonal complexity. Yamaha's I.R.A. treatment, applied to the body and neck, accelerates the natural aging process of the tonewoods, producing the richer resonance and improved sustain that players typically associate with well-played vintage instruments. The gloss polyurethane Breeze Metallic Blue finish is a head-turning statement, drawing on the colorful palette of Japan's City Pop era for a look that's simultaneously retro and thoroughly modern.
The satin-finished maple neck in a comfortable C profile is bolt-on and fast-feeling, topped with a rosewood fingerboard featuring a 9.5"-to-12" compound radius — a meaningful upgrade over the fixed-radius boards found on standard Pacifica models. The compound radius starts at 9.5" near the nut for natural, comfortable chord-playing and gradually flattens to 12" in the upper registers for effortless bends without fretting out. Twenty-two medium-jumbo stainless steel frets provide outstanding durability and a smooth, low-friction surface, and the 25.5" scale length delivers the classic snap and string definition that defines T-style playing.
Electronics are built around Yamaha's Reflectone HS configuration, co-developed with Rupert Neve Designs. The EH7n humbucker at the neck delivers full-bodied warmth and heft, while the HT7b single-coil at the bridge cuts through with the articulate twang and dynamic edge the T-style is famous for. The push-pull Focus switch on the tone control rolls off treble and boosts midrange and bass, instantly recreating the voice of a high-output overwound pickup for even greater tonal range. Gotoh locking tuners and a Gotoh BC-TS1S ashtray-style bridge with compensated saddles complete the hardware suite with precision reliability and professional-grade tuning stability.
Ideal For
- Professional and advanced players seeking a Japanese-made Yamaha electric guitar built to the highest production standards
- Telecaster enthusiasts who want the classic T-style experience elevated by I.R.A.-treated tonewoods, a compound-radius fingerboard, and premium Rupert Neve–designed pickups
- Studio recording guitarists who demand exceptional intonation, dynamic pickup response, and consistent, reliable tone across every session
- Gigging musicians in the Idaho Falls area who need a do-it-all instrument that moves from country and blues to jazz and rock without missing a beat
- Discerning players who recognize the difference a Japanese-built instrument makes in fit, finish, and long-term playability
Key Features
Japanese Craftsmanship and I.R.A. Treatment Built by Yamaha's expert luthiers in Japan, the PACP11 benefits from tighter tolerances, superior fit and finish, and Yamaha's proprietary I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration) treatment — a process that enhances the resonance and sustain of the tonewoods to replicate the character of a well-aged, broken-in instrument from day one.
2-Piece Alder Body with Acoustic Design Chambering The tighter grain consistency of a 2-piece alder body, combined with precision internal chambering and a contoured heel for unrestricted upper-fret access, produces a guitar that is lightweight, resonant, and exceptionally comfortable to play in any position.
Compound-Radius Rosewood Fingerboard The 9.5"-to-12" compound radius is one of the most player-friendly fingerboard features available — chord-comfortable near the nut, bend-friendly in the upper registers — paired with a warm, smooth rosewood surface and 22 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets built to last a lifetime.
Reflectone Pickups by Rupert Neve Designs The Reflectone EH7n humbucker and HT7b single-coil — co-developed with legendary audio engineer Rupert Neve Designs — deliver a sweeping sonic palette with exceptional body, clarity, and dynamic sensitivity across the full HS configuration, from jazz warmth to soaring rock leads.
Push-Pull Focus Switch and Gotoh Premium Hardware The tone control's Focus switch expands tonal versatility by mimicking a high-power overwound pickup at the push of a knob. Gotoh locking tuners and the BC-TS1S ashtray-style bridge with compensated saddles ensure rock-solid tuning stability and precise intonation across all 22 frets.
