Yamaha Pacifica

Yamaha Pacifica guitars have a rich history originally being designed in the Yamaha Custom shop in California with guitar builder Leo Knapp. Yamaha Japan then developed on these models that were being built in the Custom shop to create the Yamaha Pacifica, notably with the first model the PAC 912. With Japanese Gotoh hardware, and pickups designed with Rupert Neve for an outstanding tone, this model became the perfect fit for professional session players. Yamaha Pacifica quickly earned its stay in studio sessions, used by players such as Michael Lee Firkins, Mike Stern, and many more session legends. Yamaha continued to develop the Pacifica with session players in mind, with the versatile humbucker pickups in the bridge combined with 2 single coils and a vintage style tremolo the Yamaha could cover just about any musical genre. The pacifica had a tonal versatility that was unmatched.

Over the years Yamaha kept the same vision for the Pacifica guitar while expanding the product lineup and finding ways to make the guitars more accessible. The easy playability, extensive tonal options, and meticulous quality have kept the Pacifica as a mainstay in guitar stores world wide. Today's Pacifica models continue to offer tonal versatility, superb quality, as well as looks that remain stylish and classic. Whether you're a beginner or a professional player there is a Yamaha pacifica for you. The PA120H offers dual humbuckers and a simple fixed bridge for the new player looking for a quality guitar to learn on. The Pacifica Standard, Standard Plus, and Professional range offers a top of the line guitar that can hold its own in any setting.

With traditional styling, Yamaha Pacifica was designed to meet the needs of professionals and top session players while still looking like a real classic. The Pacifica range of today has a wide variety, from entry level guitars that are nothing to scoff at all the way up to professional level guitars that don't break the bank.
