Yamaha PAC612VIIX Electric Guitar - Matte Silk Blue

Overview of Yamaha PAC612VIIX Electric Guitar - Matte Silk Blue

PAC612VIIX
First launched in 1990, the Pacifica series was driven by the California session scene of the day – where versatility, performance, and individuality were key. Inspired by those custom shop guitars and that original vision, Pacifica 600 models represent today’s embodiment of the Pacifica concept.

Wilkinson VS50 6 Vibrato Bridges
Precision-machined zinc saddles are matched with hardened steel and a knife-edge baseplate for a responsive feel and stable tuning.

Graph Tech String Saver Saddles on Hardtail Models
Paired with Yamaha’s original steel bridgeplate on Pacifica 611H/HFM models, these self-lubricating saddles reduce string breakage while offering balanced tone and increased sustain.

Graph Tech TUSQ Nut and String Trees
TUSQ XL is precision-engineered to couple the string vibration to the neck, bringing out richness and harmonics. The Teflon-impregnated material eliminates string binding, and helps to insure tuning stability, even with wide bends.

Grover Locking Tuners
These tuners offer additional pitch stability by reducing string slippage – especially for guitars equipped with a vibrato bridge – without sacrificing fast string changes.

Seymour Duncan Pickups in Two Configurations
All current Pacifica 600 models feature a TB-14 “Custom 5” humbucker in the bridge position, for full tone with a scooped midrange, and a coil tap for additional versatility. PAC611 models pair this with an SP90-1 for vintage soapbar tone, and PAC612 models use SSL-1 single-coils in the middle and neck positions for authentic 1950s chime.
