Yamaha PACIFICA212VQM Translucent Black Electric Guitar

General

With the Pacifica 212 VQM, Yamaha answer the prayers of players who've been longing with a solid-body focussed on build quality and flexible tone. A genuine eye-catcher, this particular model sports a sleek Translucent Black finish from head to toe and has been modelled after the popular Yamaha 112J and upgraded some. The latter means Yamaha have armed the axe with Alnico V pickups to make sure your guitar sound packs ample punch and more than enough presence for impacting solos.

The Pacifica 212VQM: Skill-Boosting Electronics

The Pacifica 212VQM is equipped with an HSS pickup configuration, which means that you're offered the tone-shaping services of a humbucker and two single-coils - all made using Alnico V magnets. As such, you get to engage the bridge-mounted, high-output humbucker when you're feeling hard-rock or heavy metal, have the single-coils sculpt more bright and vintage-flavoured sounds, or coil-split the humbucker mid-solo using the push-pull and change up the sound completely. Meanwhile, the alder-maple body, bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fretboard will form an unshakeable foundation on which you're free to build tremolo-based acts using the vintage bridge and toggle the 5-way pickup switch to move smoothly from one style to the next.
