This no-nonsense solidbody electric guitar has a lightweight alder body with a laminated flamed maple top, finished in gorgeous gloss polyurethane.

Built for tone

The Yamaha PAC612VIIFMX Pacifica features a Seymour Duncan Custom TB-14 humbucker in the bridge position, which delivers powerful tones fit for riffing and soloing alike. Seymour Duncan SSL-1 pickups in the middle and neck positions provide wonderfully crisp and clear single-coil tones. The 5-position blade, master volume, and master tone with push-pull control lets you split the humbucker and dial in all kinds of tonal colorings to fit your style and exploration in sound. Finally, a Wilkinson VS50 bridge provides stellar tonal support, as well as a tremolo arm for more creative exploration in style.

That neck!

You will love the sleek "C"-shaped maple neck with rosewood fingerboard on the PAC612VIIFMX. It is smooth, responsive, and instantly playable — great for solos or chording. And with Grover locking tuners, you can play with confidence, knowing that you will stay in tune.

Excellent guitar for an excellent price

I had to wait 5 1/2 months for this order to come in (thanks COVID supply chain!), but Zac from SW kept me informed and I got the original price. The guitar is lovely, with great tones, and very well put together. Not my first Pacifica; they are always very well made, consistent from guitar to guitar, and play like and have the features of a much more expensive guitar.

A note about the frets: The ends of mine are nice, although not exceptional. I did have the guitar Plekked by SW, to make it as perfect as possible, but they are still not up to the level of my Shijie, which is custom-shop quality. But still very playable.

Love that SW shows pics of each copy of a guitar (although mine arrived Oct 10th, and here we are just under a month later and all the 612s are sold out again!), so you can pick the finish and weight you like (note, if they have a bunch, they will only put up a few, and replace them as they sell). I was able to pick the lightest copy they had in stock (1 lb lighter than the heaviest) and also one with a nice flame maple top (they are not all equally beautiful).

Actually the first guitar I've ever purchased from Sweetwater, and very happy with the experience.

Excellent, build quality and sound

This Guitar is amazing. The looks, the sound, set up, playability. With the two single coils and a hum-bucker it can sound like anything you want. This guitar can easily be played at the professional level and stand up with the best of them. Sounds excellent. You won't be disappointed.
Seeetwater's service was excellent as well. The guitar was on back order when I bought it. But they stayed with me from when it came in, to getting loaded onto the truck and on the way to my house. Calling me every few days with an update.

Awesome guitar!

I love this guitar. Feels good, plays good, sounds great. The pickups, selector switch, and tone knob give a great range of tones. The tremolo arm inserts and removes quickly and easily. The locking tuners and bridge/body construction make changing strings fast and easy. This is an awesome guitar for the money.

Yamaha Pacifica 612VIIFXM

You just cant do better for the price. looks great, plays great. What can I say? Seymour Duncan pick ups, Alder Body, Grover locking tuners, Wilkinson Bridge. Great build detail. For the price, I dont think you could find another instrument that can touch it. Fantastic right out of the box. If you are looking for a great playing, sounding, well built guitar. look no further. Its fun to play!!! I have been playing for a very long time, Fender Guy, and still am, but this Guitar has been a lot of fun and enjoyment. Absolutely 5 Stars.....
