It’s a marvelous time to be a Bocchi the Rock fan in Mexico City! Yamaha’s Mexico City local (Tienda Insurgentes) is currently hosting the ongoing Bocchi the Rock x Yamaha collab! The event showcases Yamaha’s PACIFICA611V BTR LTD and THR5. Fans of Kessoku Band can also pick up exclusive collab merchandise featuring Bocchi and Kikuri. Several promotional giveaway items will be available. Fans can even watch reruns of the Bocchi the Rock anime in the store and take pictures with life-size cutouts of the characters.
The Bocchi the Rock x Yamaha collab event will last until March 26.
Bocchi the Rock x Yamaha Collab Details
After Bocchi the Rock‘s success caused everyone and their grandparents to storm music stores and pick up a guitar, someone at Yamaha had an idea. I wasn’t there, but I assume a Yamaha executive thought, “Those weebs are spending money; let’s get in on that.” And that was how the Bocchi the Rock x Yamaha collab was born. Well, not really. However, Yamaha realized that Bocchi the Rock was the perfect opportunity to plug a product. And that led to the creation of the PACIFICA611V BTR LTD (Pacifica Bocchi Edition), a real-life replica of Bocchi’s iconic Yamaha guitar.
Part of Yamaha’s PAC600 Series, the Pacifica Bocchi Edition is a stunning recreation of Bocchi’s guitar. The PACIFICA611V BTR LTD’s specs include:
- Seymour Duncan Custom 5 TB-14 and SP90-1n pickups
- Graph Tech TUSQ nut and string trees
- Grover locking tuners
- Wilkinson VS50 vibrato bridge
- Alder body with gloss polyurethane top
- Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard with a satin finish
- Push-pull coil-split switch (for additional tonal options)
If you’re lucky enough to track one down, the PACIFICA611V BTR LTD retails at around $825 (without tax). That’s the MSRP. Trying to get one online will drain your savings of a few thousand dollars. The guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity and a Bocchi the Rock guitar bag.
Bocchi the Rock Details
Hitori “Bocchi” Gotoh appears to be a regular girl, but beneath her kawaii exterior lies SSR-level social anxiety and guitar skills that would make Angus Young proud. But due to GOD TIER social anxiety, all Bocchi can do to share her skills is upload anonymous videos to YouTube. But when she takes her guitar to school, hoping that someone will talk to her, Bocchi unwittingly sets the flag that leads her to the friends and stage she’s always dreamed of.
