[ Yamaha Pacifica 012 Electric Guitar In Black : £155.00 ]

Product Information
Chosen materials and Yamaha´s unique ability to blend traditional skills with advanced manufacturing techniques delivers a guitar of exceptional quality at a price that is hard to beat. Body TopMost manufacturers are using Sitka spruce tops for their high-end models. In our experience, we have found that Engelmann spruce naturally suits the role for top woods better than any other. The overriding quality for body top material is an allowance for resonance and Engelmann spruce has this attribute in abundance. It is a light wood that is easy to work and enables a good tone response with a wide harmonic range. Visually Engelmann spruce is comfortable on the eye and its opaque light yellow tint is reminiscent of a mature acoustic instrument.Back & SideYamaha uses solid rosewood for both the back and sides on all L series models with the exception of the 6 level instruments, which offer laminated rosewood back and sides. The rosewood blends extremely well with the Engelmann spruce top. It disperses resonance evenly and effortlessly.Neck BlockThe neck block reinforces the neck joint. Yamaha has improved the conventional “C” block design by enlarging the surface area that is in contact with the top of the guitar. The block securely meets the underside of the top adding a real depth to the tone of the instrument.Bracing(Non-scalloped X-bracing allocation at a 90-degree angle)X-bracing maps out the vibration patterns of the guitar. Each of the eight braces has been carefully positioned in order to bring out the tone in a balanced fashion and find a natural harmony with the guitar’s tone woods.• Top: Solid Engelmann Spruce• Back & Sides: Solid Rosewood• Neck: 3-ply Mahogany, Rosewood• Fingerboard: Ebony• Bridge: Ebony• Tuners: Diecast Gold • Colour: Natural

[ Yamaha Pacifica 112v Electric Guitar In Black With White Scratchplate : £189.00 ]

Product Information
With a solid spruce top, the Yamaha APX700 projects a warm, mature tone with rich, ringing sustain both acoustically and amplified. The small body and slim neck ensure that, like all APX guitars, the performance experience is perfect. The 1-way A.R.T pickup system in combination with the System 56 preamp delivers a clear, controllable sound thanks to its ultra-musical EQ and adjustable mid frequency control for precise tone shaping. • Top: Solid Spruce • Back & Sides: Nato • Fingerboard: Rosewood • Scale: 650mm • Frets: 22 • Pickup: A.R.T. 1-way • Preamp: System 56 • Controls: 3-band EQ, Volume, Tuner • Tuners: Chrome The unique A.R.T (Acoustic Resonance Transducer) pickup features a multilayer construction designed to provide the perfect balance between sensitivity and noise reduction. Designed exclusively for Yamaha acoustic guitars, the A.R.T pickup offers incredible dynamic range, outstanding feedback rejection and, thanks to its being mounted on the back of the guitar's top, picks up the natural resonance of the guitar to create exceptionally natural amplified tone. Pickup Placement Based on years of research, pickup placement in the APX was determined to within one-tenth of a millimetre. Having found the 'sweet-spot', Yamaha then re-designed the internal bracing of the guitars to allow for ideal placement while maintaining the tonal character of the guitars. 1-Way Configuration/System 56 Preamp This configuration features one main pickup system consisting of two A.R.T pickups underneath the saddle. The 3-band EQ gives the ability to control the mid-range frequency for precise control and tonal flexibility. The preamp also features an onboard tuner.
