r/YamahaPacifica

I'm receiving this tomorrow. Have been waiting for a long time. Pairing it up with Gen3 Katana100

New Yamaha Pacifica Pro series. I'm in love!!!!! And she comes with a beautiful case.

as some of you guys may know i made a post here yesterday about this pac012 dlx i found in marketplace . i just got home from a 2hour bus ride sorry for the late update.

after buying the guitar from seller(seller was a great guy btw he was easy to talk to)i went straight to a nearby luthier and had it full setup.

this might sound crazy but i think iminlove... no sheet, shes just so gorgeous.

its priced at 150$ and im currntly saving up to buy a 112v. im a beginner and am planning to learn scales on electric guitar since my cheap acoustic has that zipline action which makes it hard to play. what do you guys think?

I currently have a yamaha pacifica 012 and a blueface 20 kadence amp. Very new to all this i have no idea what im doing.

For specifics i have a kadence blueface 20v amp and a yamaha pacifica 012. And if its a problem is it the amp or the cable.

Looking for a better amp I stumbled over this beauty. I introduced her to my pac112 en they get along great and make beautiful noises. What a sound this Peavey studio pro 112 delivers.

Did an æsthetic mod to my pacifica 112j...does it look gud...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to show off my Pacifica 112 after my last round of modifications. I think it's in it's final form now, I honestly can't think of any other changes I would want to make to it! This is my project guitar that I've used to learn how to work on a guitar and it's been a lot of fun working on it (and even more fun playing on it!). Here's all the changes I've made to it so far:

Seymour Duncan P-rail with triple shot pickup selector ring

Fleor Alnico V dual rail middle pickup

Fleor Alnico V neck pickup

Guyker bridge with roller saddles

Grover locking tuners

Upgraded Pots with push pull to create "7 sounds" mod

Upgraded selector switch

Switch craft input jack

Copper foil pickup cavity

This first has so many sound options with all the pickup variations I have now that it's honestly overwhelming. I was considering putting together a sound bite with all the different options but I realized it's 19 different pickup combinations and figured y'all don't want to sit through that lol. Let me know what you guys think.

I have the option to get either one of these and I'm wondering what one is better in terms of quality. (I'm sorry if buying help questions are banned here, I didn't know what sub to ask in as r/Guitar banned these type of questions...)

Model Names:
1st slide: Yamaha RGX121Z
2nd slide: Yamaha Pacifica PAC012

I only practiced with like a very old broken high action accoustic for like the last two years and damnnn Electric is so much damn fun to playyyy. Any advice?

I've a pac012 and i really wanna change the pickguard and the hardware too maybe

I really like the look of a gold hardware (not yet sure) but im so confused about the pickguard colour like should i get a red/brown tortoiseshell, a plain black or a pearloid?

I wanna match the hardware to the pickguard btw not thr other way around xD

Received it yesterday in shockingly excellent condition given it’s 59 years old. It even came with the original strap!

Plays and feels great, the neck pickups sounds KILLER. Whammy bar works and it stays in tune! This may replace my Strat….pure single coil sound with vintage Fender radius but Gibson scale length - love it.

If anybody knows about the electronics on these, I have some questions about the pickups, etc:

1 (neck) is very loud, with over 10k resistance

2 (middle) is quite a bit quieter, but mid 9k resistance

3 (bridge) is almost as loud as 1, but also mid 9k

1+2 is just under 5k. Relatively quiet

1 + 3 also just under 5k. Relatively loud

2+3 blended reads nothing in the middle of the sweep (!), tone described below.

1 + 2/3 blended is high 9k.

The sound of 2 by itself is low output, and kind of Strat-quacky. Funny given it reads the same as pickup 3, which is much louder.

When blended with 3, it's similarly quiet, but cancels hum, and sounds like a tone knob has been turned down - much more bass, less treble.

Any ideas what could be going on?

I can’t tell if it’s a 312 or 412
