Crafted with precision, this guitar features a neck-through-body construction that enhances sustain and resonance, ensuring each note rings out with clarity. The B.C.

Guitarists will appreciate the smooth playability of the ebony fretboard, allowing for fast and effortless finger movements.

The Yamaha Pacifica 1421 sits at the top of the original Pacifica line developed by Rich Lasner, and is nothing like the entry-level models the name later came to mean. It is neck-through — a maple neck running the length of a basswood body with a maple top — in an HSH layout pairing two DHB1 humbuckers with a DSNB single-coil. Fewer than 250 were built, making it the rarest Pacifica.
