Alnico V Versatility. Coil-Split Control. Classic Pacifica Playability.
The Yamaha PACIFICA112V is a versatile, performance-ready electric guitar built around the body shape and dependable playability that made the Pacifica series a modern favourite. Its resonant alder body, bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard create a comfortable, balanced platform for practice, recording, rehearsal and live performance.
An Alnico V HSS pickup configuration moves easily from clear single-coil sounds to a powerful bridge humbucker voice. Pull the Tone control to split the humbucker for additional single-coil-style textures, while the vintage tremolo with block saddles supports expressive playing with improved solidity and response.
Key Features
Alnico V HSS pickups cover clean, crunch and lead tones
Two Alnico V single-coils provide articulate neck and middle sounds, while the Alnico V bridge humbucker adds the output, body and focus needed for overdrive, rock rhythm and lead playing.
Push-pull coil split expands the bridge-pickup palette
Pull the Master Tone control to split the bridge humbucker. This adds a leaner, brighter voice alongside the humbuckerβs full output, giving the PACIFICA112V greater flexibility from one simple control.
Contoured alder body for balanced tone and playing comfort
The double-cutaway alder body combines a clear, balanced acoustic response with smooth contours and easy upper-fret access. It sits naturally whether you play seated or standing.
Smooth maple neck with a comfortable rosewood fingerboard
A satin-finished maple neck, 25.5-inch scale, 13.75-inch fingerboard radius and 22 medium frets provide a familiar feel for chords, bends and fast lead work without making the instrument overly demanding.
Vintage tremolo with block saddles for expressive control
The tremolo bridge lets you add subtle shimmer, chord dips and melodic vibrato. Block saddles contribute a solid playing response and precise individual-string adjustment.
Straightforward controls make tonal changes fast
A five-way pickup selector, Master Volume and push-pull Master Tone keep the layout intuitive. Move quickly between warm neck sounds, clear in-between positions and focused bridge tones while playing.
FAQ
Q. Who is the PACIFICA112V best suited to?
It suits progressing players, working musicians and home-studio users who want one comfortable electric guitar capable of covering clean, blues, pop, funk, rock and higher-gain sounds.
Q. How does the PACIFICA112V differ from the PACIFICA112J?
The 112V adds Alnico V pickups, a push-pull coil split for the bridge humbucker and a vintage tremolo with block saddles, offering a broader tonal range and upgraded performance features.
Q. What does the push-pull coil split do?
Pulling the Tone knob changes the bridge humbucker to a brighter, lower-output coil-split sound. Push it back down to return to the fuller humbucker voice.

Yes. Its comfortable neck, balanced body and simple controls are beginner-friendly, while its pickups and hardware provide enough versatility to remain useful as technique and musical interests develop.
