Yamaha Pacifica Routing and Parts

[KrisUK]

At some point, I'm interested in picking up a Pacifica and heavily modifying it.

One thing I'm interested in doing is loading it with SD P-Rails but what kind of routing do the Pacificas have?

I've spotted a Pacifica body on eBay and it has the swimming pool route but I don't know if this is how they're all routed. I have a 303-12 at home I COULD check but don't really want to and can't at the moment. Reasons being I haven't got my 303-12 with me and it's a 12 string. So until it needs restringing, I don't particularly want to take off the pickguard because it takes bloody ages to string it up! And as it doesn't get used that often, it doesn't get restrung that often

But anyway, that doesn't matter So, do all Pacificas have the swimming pool route?

And just having a quick browse around, I found it difficult to find a replacement scratchplate for them as obviously I'll need one that will take P-rails. So, does anyone know where I can get my hands on custom Pacifica scratchplates?

Aurora Project (googlable) will do you a replacement scratchplate traced from the original for a sensible price. Having made my own scratchplate copies I'd never do it agan - it's only a fiver more from them than for the blank sheet.
