Yamaha Pacifica 012 BL-PP Electric Guitar Black

Designed with care:

The Pacifica012 BL-PP Black Colour Guitar has a very classic look. It is available in either Agathis or Nato body types. Design of this model is similar to that of the pricier Pacifica 112v, with a contoured double cut away body. The guitar has maple neck and rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets. The quality of craftsmanship and tone is the guitar is simply excellent. The BL model has black finish, but this guitar is also available in two other finishes: Dark blue metallic (DBM) and Red Metallic (RM).

Pickup system:

The pickup system includes two single coil pickups and a humbucker. The fire power of a raunchy bridge position humbucker and the two clear toned single coil pickups are also inherited from its predecessor.

Controls:

With the help of the five position pickup switch, you will be able to make a selection for those classic mid range tones. Other than the five position lever control, there are the master volume control and master tone control. The vibrato bridge comes in a well proven vintage design along with six saddles that can be adjusted individually. This gives the guitar accurate intonation and a slinky setup.
