Yamaha Pacifica 311H VW electric guitar Vintage White

General

The Pacifica 311H is a mid-class guitar from the Yamaha Pacifica series. It's based on the Pacifica 611H but is more affordably priced for the ambitious beginner. This guitar has everything that the Pacifica series stands for, namely affordability, quality, reliability and above all great sound and playability. The 311H is easy to play, and with its humbucker and P90 single-coil pickups has a ton of versatility, especially for blues and classic rock genres. It is equipped with high-quality and reliable hardware including six Grover locking tuners and a solid hardtail bridge. Just like its big brother, the Pacifica 311H VW has a solid alder body, and is finished in Vintage White with a chic tortoise pickguard.

Yamaha Pacifica 311H:

The Pacifica 311H has a special pickup configuration. The chrome humbucker by the bridge sounds full and warm and gives a vintage output that is perfectly suited for overdrive sounds found in classic and modern rock. The P90 by the neck is thicker than a traditional single-coil, but it still has the same sparkle and bite making it perfect for bluesy crunches and warm jazzy cleans when combined with the tone knob. Pull the tone knob out and switch the humbucker to a single-coil for bright country cleans and punchy distortions. The neck of the Pacifica 311H has a thin, sleek profile for optimal comfort and playability, and thanks to the 14-inch flat radius of the fingerboard dead notes are a thing of the past!

The reliable Pacifica family

The Pacifica models are some of the world's most popular guitars. They were introduced in 1990, and thanks to Yamaha's relentless pursuit of quality, they won a large variety of awards and international prizes. And it wasn't all for nothing. Because of their uncompromising quality, each and every one of these affordable electric guitars has great performance. At the end of 2011 four new models were released: the 611HFM, 510V, 120H and this 311H. Thanks to their innovative hardware and pickup configurations they once again meet the conditions of the modern guitarist.
