Wonderful Solidbody Electric from Yamaha

Get stellar tone, feel, and appointments with the Yamaha PAC611HFM Pacifica. This no-nonsense solidbody electric is made from a lightweight alder body with a laminated flame maple top, finished with a gorgeous gloss polyurethane. Two Seymour Duncan pickups provide a wide array of amazing tone, from warm and rocking to clear and singing. A beautifully smooth maple neck with rosewood fingerboard is immediately playable and comfortable — great for lead or chords.

Built for tone

The Yamaha PAC611HFM Pacifica features a Seymour Duncan TB-14 humbucker in the bridge position, which delivers powerful tones fit for riffing and soloing alike. A Seymour Duncan SP90-1N single-coil in the neck position provides wonderful crisp, clear single-coil tone. And with a 3-position blade, master volume, master tone with push/pull, you can split the humbucker as well as dial in all kinds of tonal colorings to fit your style and exploration in sound 

That neck!

You will love the sleek, C-shaped maple neck with rosewood fingerboard on the PAC611HFM. It is smooth, responsive, and instantly playable — great for lead play or chording. And with a classic hardtail bridge with string-saver saddles and Grover locking tuners, you can play with the confidence that you will stay in tune.
