A flagship Pacifica built for players who want maximum tonal flexibility, studio-grade clarity, and modern performance precision without compromise.

• Reflectone™ pickups co-developed with Rupert Neve Designs deliver exceptional articulation, balance, and dynamic response
• HSS pickup configuration with 5-position switching and push-pull coil split provides expanded tonal flexibility
• Rosewood fingerboard adds warmth, depth, and smooth note response
• Alder body with Yamaha’s Acoustic Design body structure delivers outstanding versatility and tonal clarity
• Gotoh 510T FE-1 tremolo, Gotoh locking tuners, and medium stainless steel frets provide professional-level performance and stability

The Yamaha PACS+12 represents the most tonally flexible model in the Pacifica Standard Plus lineup, designed for players who move between multiple styles, gain structures, and performance environments without wanting to switch instruments. Yamaha built this guitar around modern versatility while maintaining the refined feel and consistency expected from a top-tier Pacifica.

At the center of the PACS+12 is the Reflectone™ pickup system, developed in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs. The HSS configuration combines Reflectone HS7n and HS7m single-coils with a Reflectone HH7b bridge humbucker for exceptional balance, clarity, and dynamic control throughout the switching range. A 5-position lever switch provides familiar pickup selection, while the push-pull coil split on the master tone control expands the tonal range of the bridge humbucker.

The alder body incorporates Yamaha’s Acoustic Design body structure and is paired with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Medium stainless steel frets provide excellent durability and a smooth playing feel, while the Gotoh 510T FE-1 tremolo and Gotoh locking tuners deliver dependable tuning stability and expressive performance capability.

The Ash Pink finish gives the PACS+12 a distinctive modern identity that feels refined rather than overly flashy. Its soft muted tone pairs naturally with the guitar’s clean lines and premium hardware, creating a high-end contemporary appearance that stands apart from more traditional Pacifica finishes.
