Yamaha Pacifica Series: Designed for Top-Tier Performance and Versatility
Originally developed in collaboration with Yamaha's Los Angeles custom shop, the Pacifica series was created to meet the demands of professional session players. With a wide range of pickup and hardware options, today’s Pacifica models maintain their reputation for exceptional tonal versatility, smooth playability, and high-quality craftsmanship.
PAC600 Series: A Modern Take on a Classic
Launched in 1990 and inspired by the California session scene, the Pacifica series was built to prioritize versatility, performance, and individuality. The Pacifica 600 models represent the modern evolution of this concept, continuing to deliver the dynamic tones and playability that made the series famous.
Seymour Duncan Pickups for Maximum Tonal Variety
All Pacifica 600 models come equipped with a Seymour Duncan TB-14 “Custom 5” humbucker in the bridge position, providing full, rich tone with a scooped midrange. The coil tap feature offers even more tonal flexibility. PAC611 models combine the humbucker with an SP90-1 for vintage soapbar tones, while PAC612 models use SSL-1 single-coils in the middle and neck positions for a classic 1950s sound.
Grover Locking Tuners for Superior Stability
Grover locking tuners enhance pitch stability by reducing string slippage, making them ideal for guitars with vibrato bridges. They also make string changes quick and effortless, perfect for busy musicians.
Graph Tech TUSQ Nut and String Trees for Enhanced Tone and Tuning Stability
The TUSQ XL nut is precision-engineered to maximize string vibration transfer to the neck, enhancing tone richness and harmonics. The Teflon-infused material eliminates string binding, ensuring stable tuning even during heavy bends.
Graph Tech String Saver Saddles on Hardtail Models
On Pacifica 611H and HFM models, self-lubricating Graph Tech String Saver saddles work with Yamaha’s original steel bridgeplate to reduce string breakage, while offering improved sustain and a balanced tone.
Wilkinson VS50 6 Vibrato Bridges for Precision Play
The Wilkinson VS50 6 vibrato bridge features precision-machined zinc saddles and a hardened steel knife-edge baseplate, delivering a responsive, smooth feel and stable tuning for dynamic performance.
