Yamaha - Pacifica SC Standard Plus Shell White

The Pacifica SC Standard Plus Shell White has a very balanced approach, halfway between modern and familiar. It's a guitar that doesn't try to steer players towards a particular style, but gives them the space they need to build their own sound, with a clear, coherent response in every situation.

The alder body, designed using Acoustic Design technology, contributes to even resonance and good vibration diffusion. This design allows the guitar to remain open and responsive, whether playing clean or with more saturated sounds. The Shell White finish, timeless and luminous, reinforces this feeling of elegant neutrality, easy to combine with any musical universe.

The maple neck, with its rounded C-profile, offers a natural playing feel from the very first minutes. Its satin finish ensures a smooth glide and reduces fatigue over long sessions. The rosewood fingerboard, combined with a 12-inch radius, ensures consistent comfort along the entire length of the neck, while the stainless steel medium jumbo frets provide a clean attack and excellent durability.

The electronics are based on Reflectone pickups, developed in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs. Their balanced character enhances playing dynamics and attack precision. The S-H configuration allows a wide range of textures to be covered, and the Focus Switch, integrated into the tone control, offers a simple option for thickening the sound by boosting the midrange and bass, without radically altering the overall balance.

The Gotoh hardware, with its locking action and compensated bridge with three brass bridges, contributes to tuning stability and clarity of response. Supplied with a gig bag, the Pacifica SC Standard Plus Shell White is a reliable, comfortable and easy-to-live-with guitar that's equally at home on stage or in the field.
