    The Pacifica 112V punches well above its price point, Alnico V pickups (warmer and clearer than the ceramic magnets typical at this price) and a genuinely useful push-pull coil-split, not just a marketing feature. Its pickup cavities are reported at standard dimensions, making pickup swaps straightforward. Nut width is a narrower 41mm, worth knowing if comparing feel against other guitars in this range.

    Wilkinson VSVG Vintage Tremolo Bridge

    Needs verification

    A vintage-style tremolo upgrade, but Yamaha does not publish its exact mounting spec, so an exact match has not been confirmed. Worth measuring before ordering.

    Why we say this

    Yamaha's own mounting spec for this vintage-style tremolo has not been published, so an exact match to this Fender-spec replacement bridge is not independently confirmed.
