The Yamaha PACP11 Pacifica SC Professional electric guitar is a Japanese-crafted T-style masterpiece built for players who demand elite tone, playability, and versatility. Featuring Reflectone pickups co-developed with Rupert Neve Designs and precision Acoustic Design chambering, this 6-string delivers exceptional definition and dynamic range across every genre. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a serious intermediate player, the PACP11 sets a new standard for what a T-style guitar can do. Serial Number: ILY485E
Product Overview
The PACP11 Pacifica SC Professional is built around a precision-chambered 2-piece alder body finished in a vibrant Sunny Orange gloss polyurethane — inspired by Japan's iconic City Pop aesthetic. The chambering is part of Yamaha's Acoustic Design process, carefully engineered to enhance resonance and reduce weight without sacrificing structural integrity. I.R.A. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment further deepens the body's natural sustain and tonal complexity.
The neck is satin-finished maple in a comfortable C profile, bolted to the body with a contoured heel for seamless upper-fret access. A 9.5" to 12" compound-radius rosewood fingerboard ensures comfortable chord voicings in lower positions and effortless string bending up high. Twenty-two medium jumbo stainless steel frets provide lasting durability and a slick, fast feel that holds up to heavy playing over years of use.
Electronics are where this guitar truly separates itself from the competition. The Reflectone HS pickup configuration — a humbucker at the neck and a single-coil at the bridge — delivers a commanding tonal range, from thick jazzy warmth to biting country twang. A push/pull tone control adds Focus switching, which rounds treble frequencies and boosts midrange and bass to replicate the punch of a high-output overwound pickup. Top-of-the-line Gotoh hardware completes the package, including locking tuners and a modernized ashtray-style bridge with compensated saddles for precise intonation at every fret.

Key Features
Acoustic Design Chambered Body Yamaha's precision chambering within the 2-piece alder body enhances natural resonance and reduces overall weight, giving the PACP11 an acoustic liveliness that solidbody guitars often lack. Combined with I.R.A. treatment, the result is a noticeably richer sustain and more complex harmonic response.
Reflectone HS Pickup System Developed in partnership with Rupert Neve Designs, the Reflectone humbucker and single-coil pickups deliver exceptional clarity and definition across the full tonal spectrum — from gritty country growl and jazzy warmth to soaring rock leads. The Focus switch adds a further tonal dimension by mimicking the character of a high-output overwound pickup.
Compound-Radius Rosewood Fingerboard The 9.5" to 12" compound radius transitions from a more rounded curvature in the lower positions to a flatter radius toward the upper frets, offering natural chording comfort and bend-friendly geometry simultaneously. Paired with 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets, this fretboard plays fast and stays smooth for the long haul.
Satin Maple C-Profile Neck The satin-finished maple neck in a comfortable C profile offers a fast, low-friction playing feel that suits players across styles. The bolt-on joint features a contoured heel for smooth access to the highest frets without compromising structural stability.
Gotoh Premium Hardware Locking Gotoh tuners hold tune reliably under aggressive playing and string bends. The modernized ashtray-style Gotoh BC-TS1S bridge features compensated saddles for precise intonation across all six strings, keeping the guitar in tune from the open position to the highest fret.
