Premium Tone Starts Here
At the heart of the PACS+11 is Yamaha's innovative Acoustic Design Technology .

The exclusive Reflectone HS pickup configuration delivers exceptional articulation with impressive output and tonal balance. Need even more power? Simply pull up the Tone control to activate Yamaha's Focus Switch , instantly transforming the guitar into a hotter, thicker-sounding instrument with the character of an overwound pickup—perfect for solos, heavier rock, and modern high-gain tones.
Built for Speed, Comfort & Precision
Whether you're performing intricate lead work or laying down rhythm tracks, the PACS+11 is designed to disappear in your hands.
The satin-finished Rounded-C maple neck offers a fast, comfortable feel, while the 12-inch radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets provide effortless bends, smooth vibrato, and exceptional durability that will stand up to years of playing.
Professional Hardware You Can Trust
Every component is chosen to maximize tuning stability, sustain, and dependable performance.
Premium Gotoh locking tuners make restringing quick while helping maintain precise tuning. A Graph Tech TUSQ nut improves sustain and minimizes string binding, while the Gotoh BC-TS1S bridge with compensated brass saddles delivers excellent intonation and classic tonal character.
Whether you're playing under stage lights or recording under the microscope of the studio, the Pacifica Standard Plus is built to perform with confidence.
