Yamaha Pacifica 212 Electric Guitar

The Yamaha Pacifica 212 Electric Guitar is a solid body electric guitar built around three Alnico V pickups in an HSS configuration, giving you a wide tonal range from shimmering cleans to aggressive distortion. Its eye-catching flame maple top and vintage-style tremolo bridge make it a step up in looks and playing feel from Yamaha's entry-level Pacifica models, and it's available in Caramel Brown or Translucent Black, suiting guitarists who want expressive tone shaping alongside standout visual appeal.

Versatile tone from three Alnico V pickups
Two single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions sit alongside an Alnico V humbucker at the bridge, selected through a 5-position lever switch for a broad range of tonal combinations. A push-pull coil split on the tone control lets you thin out the humbucker for extra single-coil style sounds, so you have more tonal options available without switching guitars.

Comfortable, reliable construction
An alder body with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard gives the Pacifica 212 a balanced, responsive feel, while medium fret wire and a 350mm fingerboard radius keep playing comfortable across the neck. Die-cast tuning machines help keep the guitar in tune during regular practice and performance.

Expressive playing with a vintage-style tremolo
A vintage-style tremolo bridge with block saddles allows for smooth pitch bends and vibrato, adding an extra layer of expression to your playing, while still maintaining good tuning stability during normal use.

Eye-catching flame maple top
A flame maple veneer top under a gloss polyurethane finish gives the Pacifica 212 a distinctive, high-end look, complemented by a matching headstock and a white pickguard. It's available in a choice of Caramel Brown or Translucent Black, both of which let the maple figuring show through.

Ready to plug in and play
Like any solid body electric guitar, the Pacifica 212 needs to be connected to an amplifier to be heard properly, and its pickup and control layout are built to give you plenty of tonal variety once you do.
