Yamaha Pacifica 510V electric guitar Sonic Blue

General

The Yamaha Pacifica 510V has hot rod looks with Custom Shop quality. A sleek alder body in '50s Sonic Blue, a tremolo bridge, one (very versatile) pickup, a mint green pickguard and a vintage tinted maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fretboard all combine to make this excellent guitar. With such a clean look this beauty might seem simple, but with all of its ingenious components, the sound the PAC510V produces is anything but. Whether you like to play funky clean riffs, bluesy crunches or heavy metal distortions, this work horse offers you a wide scale of tonal possibilities with the well-known Yamaha reliability.

PAC 510V: Seymour Duncan P-Rails pickup

The single pickup of the Pacifica 510V is actually three pickups in one. This P-Rails from the top brand Seymour Duncan is a combination of a P90 soapbar pickup and a single-coil rail pickup. Together, they function as a full-fledged humbucker. With the 3-band switch you can choose between the clean sound of the single coil, the warmth and bite of the P-90, and the full, wicked sound of the humbucker. A more versatile pickup just doesn't exist! Additionally, you can use the tone knob to filter out high frequencies and the volume knob to control the signal output.

Always in tune

The Yamaha Pacifica 510V doesn't only offer you a great sound pallet, but it also has incredibly stable tuning and is easy to string. This guitar is equipped with Grover locking tuners that clamp each string automatically when tuning so you don't have to deal with tough windings or knots anymore. The high-quality steel Wilkinson tremolo bridge in combination with the self-lubricating Graphtech TusP XL nut delivers an incomparable tremolo experience without any tuning problems. Whether you're playing subtle vibrato or deep swoops, nothing is too crazy for the PAC510V!
