Outstanding Beginner Electric from Yamaha

The Yamaha PAC112V Pacifica electric guitar is a great beginner instrument for younger, emerging players at an incredible price. The PAC112V features a lightweight alder body with a smooth maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. A killer trio of versatile pickups lets you dial in a variety of tones from clean highs to punchy midrange to low-end growl.

Loaded for sound

The Yamaha PAC112V Pacifica comes with a custom Yamaha ceramic Alnico V humbucker in the bridge position, perfect for when you want to rock hard and heavy. Two Alnico V single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions offer up all kinds of clean, rocking single-coil tones as well. And with a push/pull tone control, you can split the humbucker to get crisp, clean single-coil tones. The range this trio of versatile pickups offers lets you explore all kinds of stylistic approaches in just about any genre — and at Sweetwater, we're all about exploration!

Neck made to play

You will love the sleek, C-shaped maple neck with rosewood fingerboard on the PAC112V. It is smooth, responsive, and instantly playable — great for lead play or chording. And with a vintage tremolo bridge with block saddles, you can play with the confidence that you will stay in tune.

As a beginner, I'm loving this guitar!

I spent a lot of time watching video reviews of beginner guitars and the Pacifica 112V kept appearing as a top choice. As a complete beginner, I didn't want something too cheap and didn't feel that I should get something too expensive; this Pacifica is perfect! I like the feel of it, it looks great, and it holds a tune for a long time. No sharp frets or other issues. Paired the Pacifica up with a Vox Pathfinder amp; it sounds really good to my newb ear. Sweetwater delivered this guitar in beautiful shape, as expected.

Wonderful Instrument

I chose this guitar for the HSS design. I am very pleased with the sound and color. The slant keeps the strumming hand comfortable.

PAC112V Pacifica

The Sweetwater people are great to deal with. I got the package deal and am quite pleased. I am a newb and am enjoying an electric guitar. I also have a FG Yamaha acoustic ... so enjoy switching between them. :) Thanks Sweetwater! BK

Nice guitar

Chose this guitar as a beginner. Was nice knowing it had been gone through by Sweetwater with their 55 point inspection process. A little minor tuning and I was on my way. The slim neck does make it easier to form cords. I did however buy a strap to hold the neck in place. The body of this guitar is really not large enough to rest in my lap and play comfortably. My sales rep called almost immediately after the online purchase which was nice. The service so far with Sweetwater has been great, thanks!
