Leveraging decades of engineering expertise and deep research into what makes prized vintage pickups sound the way they do, Rupert Neve Designs Reflectone pickups represent the state of the art in guitar pickup design. With their strong low frequencies, sparkling highs, and remarkable dynamic sensitivity, Reflectone pickups capture every expressive nuance in your playing and deliver it to your audience with crystal clarity. Incorporating windings with a meticulously controlled gap between wires, Reflectones feature a bright and effervescent top end. The front and back sides of each pickup are magnetized with a specified flux density to produce a clearer, louder, and more articulate sound with an optimal balance of saturation and output gain. Scrupulous attention is paid to quality control, with critical factors such as coil wire tension, magnetization strength, and peak frequency levels strictly managed for unit-to-unit consistency during mass production. The bottom line? Your Yamaha PACS+12 Pacifica delivers sonic performance unmatched by any other electric guitar.
For guitarists unfamiliar with Rupert Neve Designs, it is the company founded by legendary console designer Rupert Neve. Ruperts 80-series consoles had a huge, punchy, and authoritative sound that defined 70s rock. From London to New York to Los Angeles and beyond, top studios installed Neve boards as fast as they could. By 1977, with the introduction of the NECAM automation system, Neve consoles were the main component of the success formula for any recording studio with world-class aspirations. Today, Rupert Neve Designs continues to advance the state of the art with cutting-edge products that sound incredible and intelligently address the challenges of the digital age. RNDs collaboration with Yamaha on the Reflectone pickups is a game-changer. While the merits of various pickup designs have traditionally been a bone of contention among discerning electric guitarists, Reflectone single-coil, humbucking, and P-90 pickups put that debate to rest.
Premium tonewoods and hardware are used throughout the Yamaha PACS+12 Pacifica. The sleekly contoured alder body is strategically chambered for lighter weight and enhanced resonance, making it one of the most comfortable solidbody electric guitars weve ever had the pleasure of playing. The profile of the bolt-on maple neck a Pacifica hallmark facilitates speedy navigation across all registers. A top-quality Gotoh vibrato bridge/tailpiece, a TUSQ nut, and Gotoh locking tuners ensure your Pacifica remains in tune during marathon sets, even with vigorous use of the whammy bar. Precision crafted by Yamaha luthiers, the PACS+12 boasts robust build quality that will withstand years of rigorous professional touring.
