Yamaha Pacifica Professional
The new Pacifica Professional and Pacifica Standard Plus guitars are versatile instruments designed for guitarists seeking to express their unique sound. Built with Acoustic Design technology, they deliver balanced tones while the comfortable neck shape, easy fret access, compound radius fingerboard, and stainless-steel frets ensure maximum playability.

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.
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.
Slim C-Shape Maple Neck
A modern neck shape that facilitates both comfort and speed, combined with a satin finish for smooth, friction-free playability.
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.
Compound-Radius Fingerboard

Newly Designed Pickups Provide Clear Tone
New Reflectone pickups created in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs deliver clear and articulate tones with solid lows and sparkling highs, while the HSS pickup configuration combined with coil-splitting capabilities results in outstanding versatility.
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.
