Yamaha - Pacifica SC Standard Plus SM Ash Pink

The Pacifica SC Standard Plus Ash Pink - PACS+11SM is a softer, more refined interpretation of the Standard Plus range. It is aimed at guitarists who are looking for a guitar that is responsive but never aggressive, capable of faithfully translating the nuances of playing while retaining a feeling of constant comfort.

The alder body, designed using Acoustic Design technology, promotes balanced resonance and even distribution of vibrations. This approach enables the guitar to maintain a stable response, whether playing delicately or attacking more forcefully. The Ash Pink finish is subtle and elegant, reinforcing the impression of an inspiring instrument that is both modern and visually accessible.

The maple neck, with its rounded C-profile, has a satin finish that makes it easy to move and encourages relaxed playing. The maple fingerboard, combined with a 12" radius, provides a clean, even feel, particularly useful for precise playing, open chords and articulate melodic phrases. The medium jumbo stainless steel frets ensure a clean attack while guaranteeing excellent durability.

The electronics are based on an S-H configuration equipped with Reflectone pickups, developed in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs. Their clear, balanced reproduction enhances the dynamics of the playing, with excellent note separation. The Focus Switch, integrated into the tone control, allows the midrange and bass to be boosted for a denser sound, without compromising the legibility provided by the maple fingerboard.

The Gotoh hardware, consisting of locking tuners and a compensated bridge with three brass bridges, contributes to the instrument's tuning stability and overall coherence. Supplied with a gig bag, the Pacifica SC Standard Plus Ash Pink is a comfortable, precise and inspiring guitar, designed to accompany musicians in a variety of contexts, from day-to-day work to live performance.
