YAMAHA REVSTAR PROFESSIONAL RSP02TYAMAHA REVSTAR PROFESSIONAL RSP20Originally launched in 2015, the
Revstar range was Yamaha's first series of electric guitars offered in over a decade, drawing on the brand's expertise in guitar making and electric guitar design as well as the engineering and design heritage of Yamaha Motor Co.'s motorcycles.
The new
Revstar series is structured around three levels:
Element,
Standard, and
Professional, handcrafted in Japan. All models feature
chambered bodies developed according to Yamaha's
Acoustic Design process. Using advanced measurement and modeling tools, Yamaha developed the chambered design to acoustically sculpt the tones, increase resonance while reducing weight, and enhance balance.
All new
Revstar models offer unprecedented switching options for greater versatility. The
Revstar Element models are equipped with the
Dry Switch high-pass filter introduced in the original series. The
Revstar Standard and
Professional models, available with humbucker pickups or P90-type single-coil pickups, feature the
Focus Switch, a passive boost function that evokes the sound of overwound pickups, as well as a unique 5-position switching circuit that offers a new approach to classic "in-between" tones.
The new range also presents a new neck profile for all models, a new variety of race-inspired finishes, and the first left-handed models in the history of the
REVSTAR series.
The new Revstar® guitars refine the look, design, sound, and feel of the original Revstar electric guitar series offered by Yamaha since 2015.
The new Professional series models, handcrafted in Japan, are the new flagships of this range.
The RSP20 is available in four café racer style finishes and features carbon reinforcements in the neck and chambered body – a unique concept developed through Yamaha's exclusive Acoustic Design process to sculpt the sound, reduce weight, and ensure optimal balance. The two VH5 humbucker pickups, combined with a 5-position pickup selector and a passive push/pull focus switch, offer uncommon versatility for a two-pickup guitar. These new models come with a certificate and are delivered in a deluxe case.
