Here for sale we have a Yamaha Pacifica 212VFM in Caramel Brown. Made in Indonesia in 2021, this guitar features an Alder body with a Flames Maple Veneer top. The 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard tops a Maple neck. This instrument also features two single coil alnico pickups and a single humbucker alnico pick up at the bridge. These are wired to a master volume, a master tone which also has the pull/push feature to split the coils and a 5-way pickup switch.
The Maple neck feels good in the hand and the satin finish makes it feel smooth and quick to play. The Rosewood fingerboard is easy to navigate and very comfortable to play. The lower cutaway gives you plenty of space to reach the higher registers with no issue at all. This instrument weighs 7.35lbs which is slightly on the lighter side making it a treat for long gigs and playing sessions.
The guitar’s body is made from Alder which gives it a lovely, well-rounded tonal foundation. The body also has a beautiful Maple top that gives the tone of the guitar a nice bite to it. The bridge pickup sounds fantastic, especially when paired with a good overdrive. The high output of the humbucker really helps to push all of those lead lines and solos to where you want them to go. The single-coils give the guitar a bit more of that stratty-like sound with sweet lows and articulated mids
