Yamaha approached this guitar less like a traditional production model and more like a complete performance platform — combining advanced pickup engineering, refined ergonomics, and premium hardware into one highly focused instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the PACS+11SM is the Reflectone™ pickup system, co-developed with Rupert Neve Designs. Unlike traditional high-output pickup systems that prioritize compression or coloration, Reflectone™ pickups are designed around balance, clarity, and dynamic articulation. The S-H configuration delivers everything from clean modern single-coil articulation to thick humbucker punch while maintaining impressive note separation and control. Yamaha’s Focus Switch further expands the tonal range, allowing players to move between tighter modern textures and fuller, more aggressive voices without sacrificing clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe chambered alder body uses Yamaha’s Acoustic Design process to improve resonance and overall response while reducing unnecessary weight. Combined with the maple neck and maple fingerboard, the guitar feels immediate, articulate, and highly responsive under the hands. Stainless steel frets provide smooth bending and long-term durability, while the Gotoh locking tuners and compensated brass bridge deliver excellent tuning stability and precise intonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Peppermint Green finish gives the PACS+11SM a fresh modern appearance with a clean, distinctive visual identity. It stands out without feeling loud, making it a strong choice for players who want a refined Pacifica with a little more personality on stage, in the studio, or in a professional collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReflectone™ pickups co-developed with Rupert Neve Designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eS-H pickup configuration with Focus Switch tonal control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaple fingerboard for added snap and articulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAcoustic Design chambered alder body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMedium jumbo stainless steel frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGotoh locking tuners for tuning stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompensated 3-saddle brass bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePro gig bag included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstruction: Bolt-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Material: Alder (Acoustic Design chambered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickup System: Reflectone™ pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstruction: Bolt-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Material: Alder (Acoustic Design chambered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: Rounded-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\" (305 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFret Type: Medium jumbo stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Material: Graph Tech TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Width: 42 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eString Spacing: 10.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: S-H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickup System: Reflectone™ pickups (Rupert Neve Designs collaboration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls: Master volume, master tone with Focus Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwitching: 3-position blade switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: Compensated 3-saddle brass bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTuners: Gotoh locking tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrings: Elixir Nanoweb Light (.010–.046)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrigin: Indonesia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded Case: Pro gig bag included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From Rain City Guitars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Yamaha Canadian Dealer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurated by musicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProfessionally inspected before shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast secure shipping across Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Peppermint Green","offer_id":46428925296777,"sku":"PACS+11SM-PGN","price":1149.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/7299\/3417\/files\/PACPS_11SM-PGN-A-JPG_1.jpg?v=1779404356","url":"https:\/\/raincityguitars.com\/products\/yamaha-pacs-plus-11sm-peppermint-green-electric-guitar","provider":"Rain City Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
