Description
The Yamaha PAC1611MS is a premium signature electric guitar designed in collaboration with jazz fusion guitarist Mike Stern. It features a light ash body with a natural gloss finish, a bolt-on maple neck, and a one-piece maple fingerboard for smooth playability. Equipped with Seymour Duncan pickups— a '59 neck humbucker and a Hot Rails bridge humbucker—this guitar offers a versatile tonal range, from warm, vintage jazz tones to powerful rock sounds.
Its hardtail bridge ensures excellent sustain and tuning stability, while high-quality Gotoh tuners add precise tuning control. The PAC1611MS incorporates Yamaha’s I.R.A. (Initial Response Acceleration) technology to enhance the wood’s resonance and responsiveness, making it a refined instrument suitable for professional players seeking both style and substance.
