Yamaha Pacifica 112V BL electric guitar black

General

Even though they may look the same, this black Yamaha Pacifica 112V has some very clear differences compared to the Pacifica 112 J. For starters, the pickguard takes a different shape and the volume knobs are chrome-plated. The tone knob has been upgraded to feature push/pull coil tap function that splits your powerful humbucker into a sparkling single-coil pickup, and the pickups of the 112 V are equipped with Alnico V magnets to give them a tight, vintage tone.

Characteristics of the Yamaha Pacifica 112V BL

The body of the Pacifica 112V is made of solid alder, which is a popular wood type for electric guitars due to its light weight and rich, balanced sound. The high mids are slightly more outspoken, giving the guitar a sound that sings out above the rest. The 22-fret screw-mounted neck is fashioned from maple and features a rosewood fretboard with a thin profile and a flatter 13.75-inch radius for optimal playing comfort.

Tremolo bridge and ring-mount humbucker

The bridge of the Yamaha Pacifica 112V is a vintage-style tremolo, which means that with the included handle you can influence the tension of the strings to create awesome vibrato effects The solid saddles ensure a rich sustain and deep intonation. Just like the high-end Pacifica models, there is a bridge pickup mounted on the body via a black mounting ring. The mounting ring helps pick up more vibrations from the body, which in turn creates a more dynamic tone than when mounted on the pickguard.
