Yamaha PACS+11S Pacifica Plus Electric Guitar - Desert Burst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha PACS+11S Pacifica Standard Plus electric guitar reimagines the iconic T-style platform with acoustic-inspired chambering, premium Rupert Neve–designed Reflectone pickups, and a gorgeous Desert Burst finish that gives this guitar serious visual character to match its sonic range. At just 7.20 lbs., the contoured 3-piece alder body is one of the lightest and most comfortable players in its class, making long sets and extended practice sessions a genuine pleasure. From advancing students to seasoned gigging musicians, the PACS+11S delivers professional-grade tone and hardware at every turn. Serial Number: ILX294177.
Product Overview
The PACS+11S Pacifica Standard Plus is built on a precision-chambered 3-piece alder body with top and backside contouring, bringing acoustic design principles into a solidbody electric format. The Desert Burst gloss polyurethane finish is warm and earthy — a sunburst-inspired color that suits the guitar's T-style heritage while feeling fresh and contemporary. Internal chambering contributes natural midrange openness and resonance that set this guitar apart from conventional solidbody competitors.
The neck is satin-finished maple in a comfortable C profile, bolt-on to the body and fast-feeling in the hand. The rosewood fingerboard — with its 12-inch radius — provides a slightly warmer, rounder tonal character compared to maple boards, and pairs beautifully with the guitar's Desert Burst aesthetic. Twenty-two medium-jumbo stainless steel frets deliver exceptional durability and a smooth, low-friction playing surface that holds up far longer than standard nickel frets. The 25.5-inch scale length preserves the classic snap and definition that T-style players have always loved.
Electronics are the standout feature of the PACS+11S. The HS configuration pairs a Reflectone EH7n humbucker at the neck with a Reflectone HT7b single-coil at the bridge — both developed with Rupert Neve Designs for outstanding clarity, articulation, and dynamic response. The push-pull focus switch on the tone control rounds off treble and boosts midrange and bass, instantly conjuring the character of an overwound pickup. Gotoh locking tuners and a compensated ashtray-style bridge complete the hardware package with precision and reliability.

- Gigging musicians in the Idaho Falls area who demand road-worthy Gotoh hardware and stainless frets that never quit
