Yamaha - Pacifica SC Standard Plus SM Black

The Pacifica SC Standard Plus Black - PACS+11SM takes a more restrained and functional approach to the range. The focus here is on control and consistency of tone, with a guitar that responds predictably and reliably, whatever the style or context.

The alder body, designed using Acoustic Design technology, ensures even resonance and good vibration transmission. This design allows the guitar to maintain a balanced response, with a clean low end, well-defined mids and accurate highs. The timeless, discreet Black finish reinforces the impression of a serious instrument, easy to integrate into any musical environment.

The maple neck, with its rounded C-profile, is easy and comfortable to grip. Its satin finish makes it easy to move around and encourages fluid playing, with no feeling of resistance. The maple fingerboard, combined with a 12-inch radius, provides a clean attack and excellent note clarity, particularly appreciated for precise rhythmic playing and well-articulated phrases. The medium jumbo stainless steel frets guarantee an even feel and durability for sustained use.

The electronics are based on an S-H configuration equipped with Reflectone™ pickups, developed in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs. Their balanced reproduction highlights the natural dynamics of playing, with clear note separation. The Focus Switch, integrated into the tone control, thickens the sound by boosting midrange and bass, offering a simple solution for moving from a clear, precise sound to a denser texture, without losing definition.

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 Black is ideal for players looking for a reliable, accurate and discreet guitar, designed for long-term playing without compromising comfort.
