Yamaha's acclaimed Pacifica lineup circles back once more through the tapestry of sonic history to conjure an inspiring modern spin on a legendary shape and pickup configuration: meet the PACS+11S Pacifica Standard Plus! Crafted from a top- and backside-contoured 3-piece body of acoustic design-chambered alder and a C-shape maple neck, the PACS+11S Pacifica Standard Plus transforms the classic wood combo that guitarists know and love into a comfortably flush, lightweight, and effortless-to-command workhorse. A maple fingerboard with a 12-inch radius and 22 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets provides a welcoming platform for fretting hands of all skill levels. The PACS+11S Pacifica Standard Plus's HS configuration features stunningly sensitive Reflectone pickups engineered by Rupert Neve Designs, delivering ample body, articulation, and clarity, further bolstered by the push-pull focus switch for the single-coil bridge pickup. After timeless T-style sonics, refined to meet contemporary playability? The PACS+11S Pacifica Standard Plus is your sure-fire solution!

Reflectone pickups: unrivaled sonic performance
Leveraging decades of engineering expertise and deep research into what makes prized vintage pickups sound the way they do, Rupert Neve Designs Reflectone pickups represent the state of the art in guitar pickup design. With their strong low frequencies, sparkling highs, and remarkable dynamic sensitivity, Reflectone pickups capture every expressive nuance in your playing and deliver it to your audience with crystal clarity.

The PACS+11S Pacifica Standard Plus utilizes two of these cutting-edge pickups, offering a modernized spin on the time-tested HS T-style configuration. In the neck position, a Reflectone EH7n provides you with a full, rich, and dynamic palette of dual-coil tones to paint with. Meanwhile, the bridge-position HT7b single-coil covers everything from retro twang to shimmering modern textures. To seal the deal, the PACS+11S Pacifica Standard Plus's Focus switch rounds over your signal’s treble while simultaneously boosting midrange and low end, sharpening up your tone with the bite of an overwound pickup.

About Rupert Neve Designs
For guitarists unfamiliar with Rupert Neve Designs, it is the company founded by legendary console designer Rupert Neve. Rupert’s 80-series consoles had a huge, punchy, and authoritative sound that defined ’70s rock. From London to New York to Los Angeles and beyond, top studios installed Neve boards as fast as they could. By 1977, with the introduction of the NECAM automation system, Neve consoles were the main component of the success formula for any recording studio with world-class aspirations. Today, Rupert Neve Designs continues to advance the state of the art with cutting-edge products that sound incredible and intelligently address the challenges of the digital age. RND’s collaboration with Yamaha on the Reflectone pickups is a game-changer. While the merits of various pickup designs have traditionally been a bone of contention among discerning electric guitarists, Reflectone single-coil, humbucking, and P-90 pickups put that debate to rest.

Fantastic player-friendly feel
