Yamaha Pacifica 112 V Vintage White Elektrikitarr

Yamaha Pacifica 112V — Stage-Ready ST-Model Versatility

Few electric guitars have earned the reputation of the PAC112V as a go-to instrument for players who want professional features without a professional price tag. This ST-model electric guitar combines a resonant alder body and a smooth bolt-on maple neck, resulting in a platform suited for both home practice and live performances. Across the guitar community, this model is recognized as one of the most capable instruments in its segment; every component — from the Alnico V pickups to the vintage tremolo bridge — is chosen for genuine musicality, not compromise.

Alnico V Pickups with Push-Pull Coil Split

What stands out about this instrument is the commitment to quality pickup components. Alnico V magnets are used in all three pickups, replacing the ceramic magnets found on many competing instruments, to produce a warmer, more musical tone with natural dynamics. Thanks to a push-pull switch on the tone knob, the bridge humbucker instantly converts to a single-coil voice, offering six distinct tonal combinations from the 5-way selector.

Alder Body and Maple Neck — Balanced Tone Foundation

The tonal character of any solid-body electric guitar starts with its wood combination. The Pacifica 112V uses a time-tested pairing that delivers clarity, warmth, and sustain in equal measure.

• Body Material: Alder — lightweight wood known for balanced frequency response with warm mids and clear highs
• Body Finish: Gloss polyurethane — durable coating that protects the instrument while allowing the alder to resonate freely
• Maple is used for the neck, providing stability and brightness that helps every chord ring clearly
• Construction: Bolt-on — classic joint producing snappy attack and simplifying future neck adjustments

Rosewood Fingerboard — Comfortable Playability

Playability comes down to the relationship between fingerboard radius, fret profile, and neck dimensions. Designed to feel immediately familiar to players coming from any ST-style instrument, the YRS-23 supports expressive playing techniques and fast runs.

• Fingerboard Material: Rosewood — smooth, warm-toned wood that feels comfortable under the fingers
• Fingerboard Radius: 350 mm — moderately flat radius balancing chord comfort with low-action lead playing
• Scale Length: 648 mm — standard scale for familiar string tension and accurate intonation
• With 22 medium frets, you get a versatile profile that suits both rhythm and lead work
• Nut Width: 41 mm — comfortable width for players with average hand size

Pickup Configuration and Vintage Tremolo Hardware

Electronics and hardware maximize tonal flexibility and deliver reliable performance for both stage and studio use.

• Pickup Configuration: HSS (humbucker / single-coil / single-coil) — covers clean, crunch, and high-gain tones from a single instrument
• Pickup Magnets: Alnico V across all three positions — warm, dynamic response with natural compression that won't get buried in a band mix
• Master volume and a tone control with push-pull coil split give you a straightforward yet deep tonal palette
• Bridge: Vintage-style tremolo with block saddles — heavy block saddles transfer string energy efficiently for deep tone and singing sustain
• Tuning Machines: Die-cast — precise, stable tuning with smooth gear action

The Right Guitar for Developing and Gigging Players

PAC112V holds a rare position in the electric guitar market: useful for beginners and more than capable for working musicians. Students beginning their electric guitar journey will appreciate the comfortable neck profile and forgiving playability, while the Alnico V pickups and coil-split humbucker provide enough tonal range to explore blues, rock, funk, pop, and metal without the need to upgrade. Gigging players seeking a reliable backup or a travel instrument that doesn't sacrifice tone will find plenty to like in this model.
