For an inexpensive yet high-quality introduction to the world of rock guitar, you’ll not find better value than the Pacifica 012. Modelled on the best-selling Pacifica 112, the new, even more affordable 012 has a similarly contoured double-cutaway body, and the firepower of a raunchy bridge-position humbucker plus two clear-toned single-coil pickups. The five-position pickup switch allows selection of those classic ‘in-between’ sounds, while the vibrato bridge is a well-proven vintage design with six individually adjustable saddles for accurate intonation and a slinky set-up. Tonewoods – rosewood, maple, and Agathis/Nato used throughout the construction giving a balanced sound with even and clear response from both the highs and the lows – important for developing good technique from the start. Pick-ups (humbucker and single coils) – offering a sound to suit any style, you'll never get bored: Rock, funk, blues, country, jazz are all possible with the click of the 5 position selector switch and a simple turn of the easily accessible tone and volume controls. Quality tuning gearing - for simple, stable and reliable tuning. Neck – Slim fast neck expertly contorted for easy accurate playing and comfort. Even and accurate fret positioning – means that it sounds in tune as you play further down the neck. It's also important to be in tune when learning as a group. Through lacquer finish – protects from humidity keeping the adjustment stable and maintaining its lustre for years to come.
