Maple-Fingerboard Clarity. Alnico V Versatility. Classic Pacifica Comfort.
The Yamaha PACIFICA112VM combines the proven Pacifica design with the crisp response and clean appearance of a maple fingerboard. Its resonant alder body, bolt-on maple neck and balanced double-cutaway shape create a comfortable instrument for practice, recording, rehearsal and performance.
An Alnico V HSS pickup configuration moves from articulate single-coil sounds to a full bridge-humbucker voice. A push-pull coil split adds further tonal options, while the vintage tremolo with block saddles supports expressive playing with a solid, responsive feel.
Key Features
Maple fingerboard for a clear, immediate playing response
The maple fingerboard gives the PACIFICA112VM its distinctive appearance and a lively, well-defined feel. Its smooth surface supports clean chord work, controlled bends and quick lead passages.
Alnico V HSS pickups cover clean, crunch and lead tones
Two Alnico V single-coils deliver clear neck, middle and in-between sounds, while the Alnico V bridge humbucker supplies the output and body needed for rock rhythm, lead playing and higher-gain tones.
Push-pull coil split expands the bridge-pickup palette
Pull the Master Tone control to split the bridge humbucker for a brighter, leaner voice. Push it down to return to the humbuckerβs fuller output, giving you useful tonal changes without a complicated layout.
Contoured alder body for balanced tone and 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 practise seated or perform standing.
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 allow precise individual-string adjustment.
Straightforward controls make tonal changes fast
A five-way pickup selector, Master Volume and push-pull Master Tone keep operation intuitive. Move quickly between warm neck sounds, clear in-between positions and focused bridge tones while playing.
FAQ
Q. Who is the PACIFICA112VM best suited to?
It suits progressing players, working musicians and home-studio users who want a comfortable, versatile electric guitar with the look and response of a maple fingerboard.
Q. How is the PACIFICA112VM different from the PACIFICA112V?
Their core body, pickup and control specifications are closely related. The key difference is the fingerboard: the 112VM uses maple, while the 112V uses rosewood, giving each model a different appearance and playing character.
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.
Q. Is the PACIFICA112VM suitable for a beginner?
Yes. Its comfortable neck, balanced body and simple controls are beginner-friendly, while its pickups and hardware provide enough flexibility to remain useful as your playing develops.
Q. Can it handle distorted rock tones?
Yes. The bridge Alnico V humbucker provides the stronger output and focused response typically preferred for overdrive, distortion, rock rhythm and lead playing.

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.
