Pacifica Standard Plus guitars were designed for players seeking to discover their own unique sound. They deliver exceptional sound and playability, and feature a newly designed alder body, slim, C-shape maple neck with a rosewood or maple fingerboard, Reflectone pickups co-developed with Rupert Neve Designs and a choice of four vibrant finishes.

Acoustic Design Technology Produces Balanced Tone
Yamaha Acoustic Design technology utilizes scientific processes such as 3D modeling to devise wood-routing techniques that increase body resonance and improve the transfer of vibrations between neck and body.

Exceptional Playability
With its slim C-shape neck, carved neck joint heel, beveled body, and 13.8"/350 mm fingerboard radius, the Pacifica Standard Plus is exceptionally easy and comfortable to play.

Slim C-Shape Maple Neck
A modern neck shape that facilitates both comfort and speed, combined with a custom-tinted satin finish for smooth, friction-free playability.

Carved Neck Joint Heel
The smoothly contoured neck heel makes accessing the uppermost frets both comfortable and easy.

Comfortable Contoured Body
The alder body is beveled along the lower bout to increase playing comfort.

Newly Designed Pickups Provide Clear Tone
New Reflectone pickups created in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs deliver clear and articulate tones with solid lows and sparkling highs, while the HSS pickup configuration combined with coil-splitting capabilities results in outstanding versatility.

Aesthetics Inspired by Japanese City Pop Art
A variety of vibrant finishes were developed jointly by teams in Hamamatsu and Los Angeles, inspired by Japanese city pop art and the sun-soaked vibes of Southern California.

This guitar is the absolute most comfortable, most playable, and best sounding guitar I've ever played. I've played $3000+ Gibsons and Fenders, and this outperforms them easily. The neck is so comfortable and fits in your hand perfectly. The locking tuners and floating trem stay in tune after huge bending and rigorous trem play. The Rupert Neve pickups are insane. They're so clean sounding it's unbelievable. I can't recommend this guitar enough.

Bought one of these in August 2024 online based on all the great reviews online on various social media platforms. Overall the guitar feels solid, the tremolo works great and returns to pitch after use, the frets feel great ( to me anyway), and the pickups are different but very versatile. All good right? Not exactly. It has a buzz on the low E string most everywhere up the neck and notes dying out around 12th fret on said string. This on a guitar that cost a little over $1400 plus tax. The guitar is currently with Long & McQuade in Red Deer for a full set up that might include filing down the stainless steel frets. This should not be required on a guitar of this price. Adjustment to taste yes, but not this. I’m 64, been playing since 12, and played the bar circuit regularly in Ontario and Quebec from the age of 18 to 33 therefore I know a bit about guitars and had many of the best ones while I was gigging. Hopefully Long & McQuade will be able to figure out the issue. I’m new in Alberta since October 2023 and I don’t know anything about guitar techs around where I live. I trust that Long & McQuade have experienced guitar techs.

I have 2 great Yamaha guitars, and thought that this one would be as good or better. The feel and look of this guitar is great, and I love the modern features on a Str*t theme. But the bridge pickup stinks, the stainless frets are pretty high (speedbumps), and the one I bought had a really screwed up nut. There are many other S type guitars that would mop the floor with this Yamaha, for less.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
