The Yamaha Pacifica 311H Electric Guitar in Black is a solid body electric guitar built around a versatile P-90 and humbucker pickup combination, giving you a wide range of tones from warm and vintage to gritty and modern. Plugged into an amp, it suits guitarists who want one instrument capable of covering blues, rock and pop, whether you're stepping up from a beginner model or adding a dependable workhorse guitar to your collection.
Versatile tone from P-90 and humbucker pickups
The neck position P-90 delivers a clear, slightly thicker single-coil style tone, while the Alnico V humbucker in the bridge position adds warmth and output for heavier styles. A push-pull coil split on the tone control lets you thin out the humbucker for extra single-coil sounds, so you're not limited to just two tonal options.
Built for comfortable, reliable playing
An alder body and bolt-on maple neck give the Pacifica 311H a balanced, responsive feel, while the rosewood fingerboard keeps the tone smooth under the fingers. A hardtail bridge and Grover locking tuners help keep the guitar in tune, making it a solid choice for regular practice and gigging alike.
Classic looks with a modern edge
A gloss black finish is paired with a tortoiseshell pickguard and chrome hardware for a look that nods to vintage design while still feeling current. Discreet volume and tone knobs keep the control layout simple and easy to use.
Ready to plug in and play
Like any solid body electric guitar, the Pacifica 311H needs to be connected to an amplifier to be heard properly, and its pickups and controls are built to give you plenty of tonal options once you do.
