Yamaha Pacifica Professional Black Metallic

Description

Yamaha Pacifica Professional Black Metallic

Pacifica Professional guitars were designed for players looking for their own unique sounds. Meticulously crafted in Japan, they offer superb sound and playability, and feature alder bodies, slim C-shaped maple necks with compound-radius maple fingerboards, Reflectone pickups developed in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs, and a choice of several vibrant finishes. Yamaha’s Acoustic Design Technology uses scientific processes such as 3D modeling to devise wood-milling techniques that increase body resonance and improve vibration transfer between the neck and body.

With its slim C-shaped neck, carved neck joint heel, chamfered body, and 10-14" compound fretboard radius, the Pacifica Professional is exceptionally easy and comfortable to play. A modern neck shape that facilitates both comfort and speed, combined with a Custom Tinted Satin finish for smooth, frictionless playability. The subtly contoured heel makes reaching even the highest frets comfortable and easy. The alder body is chamfered along the lower bout to increase comfort.

The 10-14" compound radius rosewood fingerboard allows for clean and precise chording lower down the neck, while also making it easier to bend notes higher up the neck when soloing. Stainless steel frets are exceptionally durable, while also reducing resistance when bending strings.

Newly developed Reflectone pickups created in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs deliver clear and articulate tones with solid lows and sparkling highs, while the HSS pickup configuration combined with coil-splitting capabilities results in exceptional versatility.

Gotoh locking tuners, combined with the Gotoh 2-point tremolo bridge, ensure smooth operation and exceptional tuning stability. A variety of vibrant new finishes were jointly developed by the Hamamatsu and Los Angeles teams, inspired by Japanese city pop art and the sunny vibes of Southern California.
