Overview
Outstanding Tone, Outstanding Value – Play Harder with the Pacifica 112V.
The class-leading Pacifica 112V combines player-focused, stage-ready spec with no-compromise construction and set-up to create the best value player’s guitar on the market.
Guitars aren’t complicated - Yamaha take a solid American Alder body, a maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and team it with custom designed pickups, a killer vintage trem and rock-solid chrome machineheads. Then they put it all together and give it a set-up any rock-star’s guitar tech would approve of.
It’s the perfect combination of retro-style and modern performance, designed to be easy-to-play and great sounding, so you can get your ideas from your head to your amplifier just the way you want to hear them.
Features
Custom Wound Pickups
Pacifica 112V’s custom wound pickups feature Alnico V magnets to deliver the perfect balance of warmth and clarity. Wax-potting ensures a feedback-free performance even at the highest gain settings
Coil Tap Function
The push-pull coil tap on the Pacifica 112Vs tone knob allows the bridge pickup to be instantly switched from humbucker to single coil for incredible tonal variation.
Block Saddle Vintage Type Tremolo
The block saddle type vintage tremolo offers enhanced sustain with excellent tuning stability and easy adjustment.
Ring Mount Rear Pickup
Like the top-end Pacifica models, the rear pickup is mounted directly to the body, rather than the scratchplate, providing a thicker, fatter tone with greater sustain - perfect for a humbucker.

Questions & Answers
Question: Does this come in a left-handed version?
Answer
Does the left-handed person that the guitar would be for, already play guitar? If not (or if they're still a beginner), we strongly advise against buying a left-hand model and, instead, using a standard guitar.
Because both hands are equally active when playing guitar, no hand is more dominant - and so, unless someone has already learnt to play on a left-hand model (and doesn't want to re-learn), a standard model is almost always the better option - there's a greater range of standard models to choose from and generally these are more affordable than left-hand versions.
If the person that the guitar would be for is an established player of left-hand models, then whilst we don't make a left-hand Pacifica 112V guitar, we do make the slightly lower-spec Pacifica 112J model in a left-hand version (this is still a very good guitar):
