Product Overview

The Pacifica Standard Plus represents the evolution of Yamaha's globally acclaimed Pacifica series, which launched in 1990 and quickly achieved recognition for exceptional quality and value. This premium model maintains the series' well-known affordability while elevating performance through chambered body construction, professional hardware, and the sonic excellence of Rupert Neve Designs pickups.

The chambered alder body reduces weight while enhancing resonance and sustain, creating a more responsive instrument that maintains the classic Pacifica feel with improved acoustic properties.

Rupert Neve Reflectone pickups in HSS configuration deliver rich, aggressive lead tones and bright, clear sounds reminiscent of sought-after vintage humbuckers and single-coils. The push/pull coil-split tone control effectively doubles your pickup options, providing everything from crystalline single-coil chime to powerful humbucker saturation.
