Yamaha Pacifica 112 V Sonic Blue Elektrikitarr

Yamaha Pacifica 112 V Sonic Blue — Stage-Ready ST With Alnico V Tone

The Yamaha Pacifica 112 V Sonic Blue is a player-focused ST-style electric guitar built for tonal range at an accessible price. A solid alder body with a gloss polyurethane finish pairs with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard for a familiar feel across rock, blues, indie and clean styles. The spec sheet backs Yamaha's class-leading value claim: HSS configuration, Alnico V magnets, push-pull coil split and a vintage-style tremolo.

What Sets the Pacifica 112 V Apart

Two design choices elevate this model above typical beginner ST guitars. The rear humbucker is ring-mounted directly to the body rather than the scratchplate — a construction borrowed from higher-end Pacifica models that yields a thicker voice with longer sustain. A push-pull coil split on the master tone knob also switches the bridge humbucker to single-coil mode.

Alder Body and Maple Neck — Balanced Tone and Stable Feel

A solid alder body gives this model a balanced tonal profile with strong mids, bright highs and moderate bass. The bolt-on maple neck adds rigidity and snap, while a satin back finish keeps the hand moving freely.

• Body Material: Alder with gloss polyurethane finish — balanced mids, bright highs and moderate bass
• Neck Material: Maple, bolt-on with satin back finish — stable and resistant to warping
• Fretboard Material: Rosewood — warm response with smooth feel under the fingers

HSS Pickup Layout With Alnico V Magnets and Coil Split

The HSS configuration pairs a bridge humbucker with two single-coils, covering glassy cleans to high-gain rock. Yamaha's custom-wound Alnico V pickups are wax-potted for feedback resistance at stage volume.

• Pickup Configuration: HSS — humbucker at bridge, single-coils in middle and neck positions
• Pickup Magnets: Alnico V, custom-wound and wax-potted — warm, clear tone with feedback resistance
• Coil Split: Push-pull on master tone — bridge humbucker switches to single-coil for brighter tones

Vintage Tremolo, Block Saddles and a 648 mm Scale

A vintage-style vibrato bridge with block saddles anchors the strings, offering improved sustain and easy intonation. The 648 mm scale length gives the guitar a snappy attack with tight low end.

• Scale Length: 648 mm — bright, articulate response with tight bass
• Fingerboard Radius: ≈ 349 mm — comfortable for chords and bending
• Bridge: Vintage-style vibrato with block saddles — enhanced sustain and stable tuning

Who Should Play the Yamaha Pacifica 112 V

The 112V is the right choice for players who want a single guitar covering clean pop, indie, blues, classic rock and modern high-gain styles without switching instruments. Beginners benefit from the forgiving HSS layout and stable tuning, while intermediate players get stage-ready features like the coil split and ring-mounted bridge pickup at a price well below most pro-tier ST models.
