Acoustic Design Technology Produces Balanced Tone Yamaha’s Acoustic Design technology utilizes scientific processes such as 3D modeling to devise wood-routing techniques that increase body resonance and improve the transfer of vibrations between neck and body. Elevating the design process with innovative 3D acoustic simulation technology, this refinement enhances overall body resonance and attains a harmoniously balanced frequency response. The meticulous control exerted over the interplay of vibrations between the body, neck, and head results in an instrument with optimal sonic performance. Clear Tone and Articulation The new Reflectone pickups, collaboratively developed by Yamaha and Rupert Neve Designs, represent the pinnacle in pickup innovation. Leveraging Rupert Neve Designs' extensive decades of expertise in crafting these pickups, we seamlessly integrated our own acoustic analysis technology to precisely fine-tune the sound profile. In traditional pickup manufacturing, a delicate balance between bass power and treble brightness is often a compromise. The Pacifica transcends that limitation, aspiring to create a pickup that seamlessly combines robust bass and radiant treble. Slim C-Shape Maple Neck A modern neck shape that facilitates both comfort and speed, combined with a Custom Tinted Satin finish for smooth, friction-free playability. Exceptional Playability With its slim C-shape neck, carved neck joint heel, beveled body, and 13.8/350mm fingerboard radius, the Pacifica Standard Plus is exceptionally easy and comfortable to play. Carved Neck Joint Heel The smoothly contoured neck heel makes accessing even the uppermost frets both comfortable and easy. Comfortable Contoured Body The alder body is beveled along the lower bout to increase playing comfort. Aesthetics Inspired by Japanese City Pop Art A variety of vibrant new finishes were developed jointly by teams in Hamamatsu and Los Angeles, inspired by Japanese city pop art and the sun-soaked vibes of Southern California. Premium Gotoh Hardware Gotoh locking tuners, combined with the Gotoh 2-point tremolo bridge, ensure smooth operation and exceptional pitch stability. Compound-Radius Fretboard The 10-14 compound-radius fingerboard enables you to play chords cleanly and accurately lower on the neck, while also making it easier to bend notes higher on the neck when soloing. Initial Response Acceleration Exclusive Initial Response Acceleration (I.R.A.) treatment applied after construction results in an instrument with maximum resonance and sustain.
