Featuring Reflectone pickups co-developed with Rupert Neve Designs and precision Acoustic Design chambering, this 6-string covers every genre with exceptional clarity and dynamic range.

Product Overview
The PACP11SM Pacifica SC Professional centers on a precision-chambered 2-piece alder body finished in a sleek Black Metallic gloss polyurethane — a bold, classic look drawn from Yamaha's City Pop-inspired finish palette. Yamaha's Acoustic Design chambering is engineered to enhance natural resonance and reduce weight without sacrificing the structural integrity of a traditional solidbody. I.R.A. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) treatment deepens sustain and tonal complexity by further optimizing the wood's natural acoustic properties before assembly.
The neck is satin-finished maple in a comfortable C profile, joined to the body via a bolt-on connection with a contoured heel for unobstructed upper-fret access. The maple fretboard features a 9.5" to 12" compound radius, transitioning from a rounder curvature in the lower positions to a flatter profile toward the upper frets — ideal for natural chord grip and effortless bending. Twenty-two medium jumbo stainless steel frets provide long-lasting durability and a fast, smooth feel that holds up through years of heavy playing.
The electronics package is where the PACP11SM truly distinguishes itself. The Reflectone HS pickup configuration — a humbucker at the neck paired with a single-coil at the bridge — delivers a broad tonal range, from warm jazz tones to biting country twang to soaring rock leads. The push/pull tone control engages a Focus switch that rounds off treble and boosts midrange and bass to replicate the character of a high-output overwound pickup. Premium Gotoh hardware rounds out the build, with locking tuners and a modernized ashtray-style bridge equipped with compensated saddles for spot-on intonation across every fret.

Key Features
Acoustic Design Chambered Alder Body Yamaha's precision Acoustic Design chambering within the 2-piece alder body enhances natural resonance and reduces overall weight, giving the PACP11SM a liveliness rarely found in standard solidbody guitars. I.R.A. treatment applied before assembly further amplifies sustain and harmonic richness throughout the tonal range.
Reflectone HS Pickup System Co-developed with Rupert Neve Designs, the Reflectone humbucker and single-coil pickups offer exceptional definition and clarity across the full tonal spectrum — from thick, warm neck tones to crisp, cutting bridge snap. The Focus switch adds an additional tonal voice by mimicking the punch and weight of a high-output overwound pickup.
Maple Compound-Radius Fretboard The maple fretboard's 9.5" to 12" compound radius delivers chording comfort in the lower positions and a flatter, bend-friendly geometry up high. Combined with 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets, the fingerboard plays fast and stays consistent through years of hard use.
Satin Maple C-Profile Neck The satin-finished maple neck in a C profile offers a slick, low-friction playing feel that works across styles and techniques. The contoured bolt-on heel provides smooth, unobstructed access to the upper register without compromising the joint's structural stability.
Gotoh Premium Hardware Gotoh locking tuners keep the PACP11SM in tune through aggressive picking, heavy bends, and extended live sets. The Gotoh BC-TS1S ashtray-style bridge features compensated saddles that dial in precise intonation across all six strings from the nut to the highest fret.
