This year, Yamaha returns the Pacifica to the top tier selections. The guitar you see above is the Pacifica Pro (Japan). It looks very much like the typical Pacifica with added visual tweaks: Truss rod adjustments moved to the heel end, line / strip inlays, modified pickguard & that embossed logo at the headstock.
The manufacturer also offers the rosewood fretboard version if you prefer a darker hue at that part of the neck.
Pickups - Yamaha went with Rupert Neve Refelctone this time for both the humbucker & single coils. Looks the works but do note the price: USD3.7K. Yes, we acknowledge the fact that this guitar is up there in terms of quality. However, people are already saying, for that kinda money, frets could have been more substantial & maybe include some roasted wood in there. Hmm...
