Good to know
- An electric guitar needs an amplifier (or a headphone amp / audio interface) and a guitar cable to be heard.
- Factory strings are light (.009–.042), easy on beginner fingers.

FAQ
Is the PAC112VM good for beginners?
Yes. Yamaha designed the Pacifica 100 series as a first guitar, with light strings, a comfortable neck and a wide range of sounds.
What does the coil split do?
Pulling up the tone knob splits the humbucker so it sounds like a single coil – brighter and thinner, good for clean and funk parts.
