Yamaha PACIFICA212VFM Translucent Black Electric Guitar

General

The Yamaha Pacifica 212 VFM in Translucent Black comes finished with a transparent top coating to give full visibility to the beautiful graining of the flamed maple top. What's more, the headstock has received a similar treatment, with the result being an extraordinarily stylish axe. To build the 212 VFM, Yamaha have taken their popular 112J model as the starting point and gone with Alnico V pickups to make sure you're treated to forceful, flexible tone.

The Pacifica 212VFM: Ready to Take on Any Style

The Alnico V pickups come in an HSS configuration, which means you get humbucker at the bridge and a single coil in the neck and mid positions. If thick, metal-ready sound is what you're looking for, simply engage the high output humbucker or, if you'd prefer to keep things tight and bright and rounded off with a touch of vintage, just fire up one or both of the single-coils or coil-split the humbucker using the tone push-pull control. Either way, the Pacifica 212VFM is ready to take on any style, especially since the maple neck has been solidly secured to the body for maximum sustain, while the finishing touch in the form a vintage-style tremolo bridge gives you the option to play subtle vibratos and keeps tabs on the tuning.
