ACOUSTIC DESIGN TECHNOLOGY PRODUCES BALANCED TONE

Yamaha’s Acoustic Design technology utilizes scientific processes such as 3D modeling to devise wood-routing techniques that increase body resonance and improve the transfer of vibrations between neck and body.

EXCEPTIONAL PLAYABILITY

With its slim C-shape neck, carved neck joint heel, beveled body, and 13.8"/350mm fingerboard radius, the Pacifica Standard Plus is exceptionally easy and comfortable to play.

SLIM C-SHAPE MAPLE NECK

A modern neck shape that facilitates both comfort and speed, combined with a satin finish for smooth, friction-free playability.

CARVED NECK JOINT HEEL

The smoothly contoured neck heel makes accessing even the uppermost frets both comfortable and easy.

COMFORTABLE CONTOURED BODY

The alder body is beveled along the lower bout to increase playing comfort.

NEWLY DESIGNED PICKUPS PROVIDE CLEAR TONE

New Reflectone pickups created in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs deliver clear and articulate tones with solid lows and sparkling highs, while the HSS pickup configuration combined with coil-splitting capabilities results in outstanding versatility.

AESTHETICS INSPIRED BY JAPANESE CITY POP ART

A variety of vibrant new finishes were developed jointly by teams in Hamamatsu and Los Angeles, inspired by Japanese city pop art and the sun-soaked vibes of Southern California.
