A top-tier Pacifica built around the Reflectone™ pickup system for exceptional clarity, dynamic response, and professional-level control.

• Reflectone™ pickups co-developed with Rupert Neve Designs
• S-H pickup configuration with Yamaha Focus Switch tonal shaping
• Acoustic Design chambered alder body improves resonance and balance
• Gotoh locking tuners and premium hardware built for professional use
• Desert Burst finish adds warm vintage-inspired visual depth

The Yamaha PACS+11S sits at the top of the Pacifica lineup, built for players who demand precision, tonal flexibility, and studio-grade performance. At the core of the instrument is the Reflectone™ pickup system, developed in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs to deliver exceptional clarity, balance, and dynamic response across every pickup position.

Its S-H pickup configuration combines articulate single-coil response with the power and fullness of a humbucker, while Yamaha’s Focus Switch expands tonal control without adding unnecessary complexity. The result is a highly versatile platform capable of moving from clean studio tones to heavier modern sounds while maintaining note definition and responsiveness.

The chambered alder body is part of Yamaha’s Acoustic Design concept, helping the PACS+11S resonate more freely while reducing weight and improving overall balance. This gives the instrument a more open and responsive feel compared to traditional solid-body designs.

The Rounded-C maple neck creates a comfortable and fast playing experience, while medium jumbo stainless steel frets improve durability and maintain a smooth feel over long-term use. Premium hardware including Gotoh locking tuners, a compensated brass bridge, and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut help maximize tuning stability, sustain, and intonation consistency.

The Desert Burst finish gives the PACS+11S a warmer and more vintage-inspired appearance while still maintaining the refined modern identity of Yamaha’s Professional Pacifica platform.
