Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS02T Electric Guitar, Hot Merlot

The Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS02T is going to take your sound full throttle. Artfully composed and inspired by Yamaha’s motorcycle division, this sleek instrument features a chambered body to reduce the weight, increase resonance and boost playability. Just like the rapid racers that influenced the Revstar’s design, you have a rosewood fretboard to accelerate your riffs to incredible speeds. Soft and blissful to touch, it’s going to make the most complex lead lines a breeze to play.

Elsewhere the Revstar Standard grants you a classic, growling purr courtesy of twin P90 style pickups. Voiced for forceful, plucky sonics, they’ll grant you a palette of warm, clear textures that’s perfect for classic rock and blues. Paired with a TOM bridge, you’ll enjoy pristine intonation over the scales and a rock-solid tuning stability. If you want style and substance, the Revstar delivers both in abundance.

The roar of rock

Unmistakably vintage. One of the pickups that paved the way for modern electric guitars, these VP5s adopt a P90 style construction. This fatter single coil gives you a tone that approaches a humbucker yet retains the delicious cut and twang of singles. Excellent for the distinct flow of classic rock ‘n’ roll or clucky blues solos, these potent pickups combine perfectly with the Revstar’s vintage aesthetic.

Take to the stage, the Revstar presents you with multiple controls to shape your sound on the fly. Master volume and tone dials let you roll in the sound to your exact taste, while a passive push / pull focus switch injects a new dynamic to your tone. Unleash your audio.

Refined rosewood

Just like the other aspects of this guitar, its fretboard is sophisticated in appearance and performance. Rosewood provides a superior playing surface, soft and smooth, it’ll feel like your hand is gliding rather than playing. It makes complex riffs and tricky lead lines flow with ease, great news for those of you who want to stand out! Shaped in a 12″ radius you’ll enjoy a comfortable grip and effortless time chording nearer the nut. As for adventurous string bends and high pitch solos, the jumbo stainless-steel frets enable soaring bends without fretting out.

Play with passion

Underneath the sumptuous fretboard is a three-piece mahogany neck that’s shaped for speed. Boasting a satin finish, you’ll be firing around the registers due to its frictionless feel. But this is built to perform, so you’ll be glad to know that its three-piece construction is going to withstand countless gigs and is extremely resistant to warping or bending. Set with carbon reinforcement, there’s nothing that’s going to stop you playing.

High performance inclusions

Inspired by the voluptuous curves of Yamaha’s mean racing motorbikes, the Revstar Standard’s body showcases the same precision engineering. Formed using Yamaha’s Acoustic Design process, the chambered body provides you enhanced tone response and a flourishing resonance. In addition, it reduces the weight for a nimble, agile feel that will have you bouncing around the stage.

Appointed on the alluring body is a specially designed racer tailpiece, joined to a tune-O-matic bridge. Solid tuning stability and accurate intonation in addition to a thrilling café-racer style will be yours to command. To keep your Revstar Standard pristine, it comes with an included gig bag to get you performing immediately.
