Yamaha Pacifica Standard Plus PACS+12M (Sparkle Blue) is a 6-string electric guitar with a 648 mm scale and 22 frets.
This version combines a Sparkle Blue finish, Reflectone HS7n / HS7m / HH7b pickups and a Gotoh 510T-FE1 Two-Point Tremolo bridge. It supports rhythm parts, melodies and technique practice; your amplifier and picking approach also shape the final sound.
Pacifica Standard Plus PACS+12M in detail
The Pacifica Standard Plus pairs two Reflectone single coils with a bridge humbucker from the same family. The selector and push-pull control offer choices for accompaniment, funk and rock. Its 350 mm radius stays constant along the fingerboard, with 22 stainless steel frets for bends and lead work. The contoured alder body suits long rehearsals, while the volume control’s high-pass circuit helps retain treble as the level is reduced. This Indonesian-made version includes a gig bag.
Construction and playing feel
Body: Alder. Neck: Maple. Fingerboard: Maple. The 648 mm scale is paired with 22 frets and a 42 mm nut width. The Slim C profile describes the shape of the back of the neck.
The 350 mm fingerboard radius describes its crosswise curvature. Stainless steel frets provide wear resistance for frequent playing. Consider the radius together with the neck profile, action and your approach to bending strings.
Pickups and controls
The Reflectone HS7n / HS7m / HH7b system uses a HSS layout. Controls: Master Volume (High-Pass) / Master Tone (Push-Pull Coil Split). The selector provides 5 positions.
The humbucker element of this layout suits full chords and overdriven lead parts. Additional single-coil positions broaden the clean and rhythm sounds available. Try different selector positions with the amplifier settings unchanged to hear differences in attack and frequency balance.
Bridge and maintenance
The Gotoh 510T-FE1 Two-Point Tremolo tremolo adds vibrato to chords and melodies. Smooth arm use, correctly wound strings or secure locking tuners, and a properly functioning nut help the guitar return to pitch. Check action and intonation after changing string gauges.
The hardware includes Gotoh Locking tuners. Factory string gauge: .009–.042. Wiping the strings and hardware after playing helps maintain the instrument.
