Wonderful Solidbody Electric from Yamaha

Get stellar tone, feel, and appointments with the Yamaha PAC611HFM Pacifica. This no-nonsense solidbody electric is made from a lightweight alder body with a laminated flame maple top, finished with a gorgeous gloss polyurethane. Two Seymour Duncan pickups provide a wide array of amazing tone, from warm and rocking to clear and singing. A beautifully smooth maple neck with rosewood fingerboard is immediately playable and comfortable — great for lead or chords.

Built for tone

The Yamaha PAC611HFM Pacifica features a Seymour Duncan TB-14 humbucker in the bridge position, which delivers powerful tones fit for riffing and soloing alike. A Seymour Duncan SP90-1N single-coil in the neck position provides wonderful crisp, clear single-coil tone. And with a 3-position blade, master volume, master tone with push/pull, you can split the humbucker as well as dial in all kinds of tonal colorings to fit your style and exploration in sound — features we love here at Sweetwater.

That neck!

You will love the sleek, C-shaped maple neck with rosewood fingerboard on the PAC611HFM. It is smooth, responsive, and instantly playable — great for lead play or chording. And with a classic hardtail bridge with string-saver saddles and Grover locking tuners, you can play with the confidence that you will stay in tune.

Rated 5/5

Great instrument. For the price, it's AMAZING.

Feels and plays great. Between the locking tuners, hard tail, and the nut material, it stays in tune and feels solid. Back of the neck is finished, but not 'sticky' feeling.
P90 neck pickup is killer, and has that 'fat single coil' sound. My only complaint is the bridge pickup (Custom 5), which I found to be too mid-scooped. That's personal preference, of course. I swapped it with a JB Trembucker and now it's perfect!
Rated 5/5

Overlooked this brand repeatedly...

I ride Yamaha dirtbikes, roadbikes, and now finally an incredibly well-engineered S-Style guitar that I'd often dismissed! As an amateur I've spent 10+yrs finding guitars that I like, and this is fast becoming one of my favorites: locking-tuners, neck/fret feel, nut, hardtail bridge and highly versatile pickup arrangement all add up to one very useful electric instrument to own - and it looks pretty sweet too :)
