Yamaha PAC012 PAC100 Series Pacifica Electric Guitar (White)

The Yamaha PAC012 from the PAC100 Series Pacifica range is an entry-level electric guitar designed to give first-time players access to Yamaha's manufacturing standards and tonal flexibility. The HSS pickup configuration—humbucker at the bridge, single-coils at neck and middle—routes through a 5-position lever switch and master volume/tone controls, delivering span across rock, blues and pop styles. The mahogany body is finished in gloss polyurethane white, paired with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood or walnut fingerboard.

Scale length measures 25.5 inches with a 13.75-inch fingerboard radius across 22 medium frets. Neck profile tapers from 41 mm at the nut to 51.4 mm at the 12th fret, with depth spanning 20.9 mm to 22.9 mm. The ceramic pickups—two single-coils and one humbucker—feed the signal path without onboard preamp, relying on passive tone shaping. Hardware includes a vintage-style tremolo bridge with screw-in 5.2 mm diameter arm, covered tuning machines, and 10.5 mm string spacing. Ships strung with .009–.042 gauge strings.
