Yamaha Pacifica 012 Black Electric Guitar

The Yamaha Pacifica 012 is everything a first electric guitar should be and more. Built on Yamaha's renowned Pacifica legacy of quality, playability, and tonal versatility, this lightweight solid body guitar is the ideal starting point for any beginner ready to plug in and explore the world of electric guitar. The mahogany body delivers a warm, full tone with excellent sustain, while the smooth maple neck with a rosewood or walnut fingerboard offers a comfortable, fast-playing feel that makes chord transitions and lead runs feel natural from the very first session. At the heart of its versatility is the HSS pickup configuration, featuring a humbucker at the bridge for thick, powerful tones and two single-coil ceramic pickups in the middle and neck positions for bright, clear sounds. A 5-position lever switch gives you a wide range of tonal options at your fingertips, making the Pacifica 012 equally at home across rock, blues, pop, and beyond. The vintage-style tremolo bridge adds expressive vibrato capability, while the 22-fret fingerboard gives you extended range to explore the full length of the neck with ease. Available in stylish finishes to match your personality, the Pacifica 012 is a guitar that will grow with you every step of the way.
