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.
