Yamaha Electric Guitar PACIFICA112J

Alder-Body Balance. HSS Versatility. The Classic Pacifica Experience.

The Yamaha PACIFICA112J delivers the comfortable body shape, reliable construction and flexible sound that established Pacifica as a favourite among developing players. Its resonant alder body, bolt-on maple neck and 25.5-inch scale create a balanced, familiar platform for lessons, practice, recording, rehearsal and performance.

A ceramic HSS pickup configuration combines clear single-coil sounds with the stronger bridge response of a humbucker. The five-way selector, Master Volume, Master Tone and vintage-style tremolo keep the guitar versatile while maintaining a straightforward layout that is easy to learn and fast to use.

Ceramic HSS pickups cover clean, rhythm and lead sounds

The neck and middle single-coils provide bright, articulate tones, while the bridge humbucker adds extra output and body for overdrive, rock rhythm and lead playing.

Five pickup positions make tonal changes quick

The five-way lever moves from warm neck sounds through clear in-between positions to the focused bridge humbucker. Master Volume and Master Tone keep adjustments simple and predictable.

Contoured alder body for balanced tone and comfort

The double-cutaway alder body provides a clear, balanced acoustic foundation. Smooth contours make it comfortable while seated or standing, and the cutaways allow easy access to the upper frets.

Satin-finished maple neck with an approachable feel

The bolt-on maple neck, 25.5-inch scale, 13.75-inch fingerboard radius and 22 medium frets provide a familiar playing surface for chord work, bends and developing lead technique.

Vintage-style tremolo for expressive pitch movement

Use the tremolo arm for subtle shimmer, chord dips and melodic vibrato. The bridge also provides individual saddle adjustment for setting string height and intonation.

A versatile platform that can grow with the player

The PACIFICA112J is accessible enough for a first serious electric guitar, yet its alder body, full-size scale and HSS layout remain useful for rehearsals, recording and live playing as technique develops.

Q. Is the PACIFICA112J suitable for a beginner?

Yes. Its comfortable neck, balanced body, straightforward controls and versatile pickup layout make it an excellent first serious electric guitar that can remain useful as the player progresses.

Q. How does the PACIFICA112J differ from the PACIFICA012?

The 112J uses an alder body and represents a step up within the Pacifica range, while the PACIFICA012 uses a mahogany body. Both provide ceramic HSS pickups, five-way switching and a vintage-style tremolo.

Q. How does it differ from the PACIFICA112V?

The 112V adds Alnico V pickups, a push-pull coil split for the bridge humbucker and a tremolo with block saddles. The 112J uses ceramic pickups and a simpler Master Volume and Master Tone control arrangement without coil splitting.

Q. What styles of music can it handle?

The HSS pickup layout works across pop, blues, funk, indie and rock. The bridge humbucker is particularly useful for overdrive and distortion, while the single-coils provide clearer clean sounds.

Q. Does the PACIFICA112J have a coil split?

No. This model uses a conventional Master Volume and Master Tone layout. Players who specifically want bridge-humbucker coil splitting should consider the PACIFICA112V or PACIFICA112VM.

Q. Does it include a case or amplifier?

A case and amplifier are not included as standard. YMS can help match the guitar with a suitable gig bag or case, practice amplifier, cable, strap and other essentials.

Q. Which finishes are available on this listing?

This product is offered in Black, Red, Old Violin Sunburst and Yellow Natural Satin, subject to current availability. Select the preferred finish from the product options before ordering.
