Yamaha PACIFICA112J Electric Guitar
The Yamaha PACIFICA112J is part of the Pacifica 012/100 series, a line Yamaha builds so that a first electric guitar can also be a genuinely good one. It pairs an alder body and bolt-on maple neck with a humbucker and two single-coil pickups, a five-position selector and a vintage-style vibrato bridge.
It suits beginners, students and returning players who want one guitar that can cover clean chords, funk and pop rhythms and overdriven rock leads, with straightforward controls that are easy to learn.
Key Features
Alder Body on the PACIFICA112J
The double-cutaway body is made of alder, the same body wood used on the PACIFICA112V, whereas the entry-level PACIFICA012 uses mahogany. The cutaways give easy access to the upper frets when you start playing lead lines.
Ceramic HSS Pickup Layout
Single-coil pickups with ceramic magnets sit in the neck and middle positions, with a ceramic humbucker at the bridge. The single-coils give you clear, bright clean and rhythm sounds, while the humbucker adds output and body for driven tones and lead lines.
Five-Position Selector and Master Controls
A five-position lever switch selects the pickup combinations, and a Master Volume and Master Tone handle everything else. With only two knobs and one switch, beginners can find their sounds quickly and concentrate on playing.
Vintage-Style Vibrato Bridge
The vintage-style vibrato comes with a screw-in arm, so you can add gentle shimmer to chords or bend whole phrases for expression. String spacing at the bridge is 10.5 mm.
Comfortable Maple Neck
The bolt-on maple neck has a satin polyurethane finish and a rosewood or walnut fingerboard with a 13-3/4 in (350 mm) radius and 22 medium frets. It measures 41 mm at the nut and 51.4 mm at the 12th fret, with a thickness of 20.9 mm at the 1st fret and 22.9 mm at the 12th.
Full-Scale Electric Guitar for Growing Players
With a 25-1/2 in (648 mm) scale, die-cast tuners, a urea nut and factory strings in 0.009–0.042 gauge, the PACIFICA112J electric guitar is a full-size instrument rather than a scaled-down starter. That makes it a guitar you can keep using as your technique and repertoire develop.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PACIFICA112J a good first electric guitar?
Yes. Yamaha positions the Pacifica 012/100 series for players who want a quality first guitar, and the 112J's HSS pickups, five-way switch and two-knob layout make it easy to get a wide range of sounds without a complicated control set.
What is the difference between the PACIFICA112J and the PACIFICA012?
Both have a ceramic HSS pickup layout, Master Volume and Master Tone, a five-position switch and a vintage-style vibrato. The 112J has an alder body and die-cast tuners, while the PACIFICA012 has a mahogany body and covered tuners.
How does the PACIFICA112J compare with the PACIFICA112V?
The PACIFICA112V moves up to Alnico V pickups, adds a push-pull coil split on the Master Tone control and uses a vintage-style vibrato with block saddles. The 112J keeps ceramic pickups and a simpler Master Volume and Master Tone layout without a coil split.
What comes in the box with the PACIFICA112J?
Yamaha does not list a case or gig bag for the PACIFICA112J, so plan to add a gig bag, amplifier, cable and strap as needed. Our team can help you put together a complete starter setup.
Which finishes can I choose on YMS?
This listing offers Black, Old Violin Sunburst, Yellow Natural Satin and a red finish, which Yamaha names Red Metallic. Choose your finish from the product options.
