Your cart is empty.Revstar II refines the look, sound, and feel of Yamaha’s original Revstar® guitar series. The RSS20T is available in four café racer-inspired finishes and features a custom tailpiece. Its chambered body and carbon-reinforced neck were developed using Yamaha’s exclusive Acoustic Design process to enhance tone, reduce weight, and ensure optimal balance without sacrificing resonance. P90-style pickups combined with a 5-position pickup selector and a passive push/pull Focus Switch provide uncommon versatility for a two-pickup guitar. The RSS20L model for left-handed players is also available. A deluxe gig bag is included.

First, the guitar is excellent. Set up nicely. Only picky things might be that frets are a little rough, a polish job will fix that, and the weight. It’s not a hollowbody, but a chambered body. I still love it. Unfortunatly, it arrived with the tailpiece damaged. I have contacted the seller, geartree, about that. I’ll rate it based on how it plays, not how it looks!Follow up: Geartree went above and beyond to remedy my complaint. I will buy from them again.

I really, really like this guitar and I like it more every day. It's easily the most well built of my guitars. The only tiny issue was that the bridge was a little high on the low string side, but that was an easy adjustment. I'm not crazy about the strings that it came with, but I prefer coated strings, so that's just me. I like all the settings, but you should know that position 3 cancels out the 60 cycle hum.Edit: I just tried drop tuning it for the first time last night. The difference that the carbon fiber reinforcement in the neck makes is that unlike my other guitars, when I dropped the E string to D, the other 5 strings stayed perfectly in tune.

Don't even think about it. Pick a color you love and buy it. No need to worry about which price level. The guitar punches waaaaay above its class and is impeccable in every way!

Revstars are great guitars ... only gripe is the pickup switch end knob came off. Will contact Yamaha regarding that but otherwise 5 stars.

The RevStar is perfect for my use. I am working from a bedroom and can't disturb everyone else with my acoustic instruments. I am using it with a NUX MP-3 and headphones as a practice setup. I also play it bare to work on fingering and it provides enough acoustic sound (chambered body) to provide feedback. It provides everything that I need and doesn't break the bank. This is a gig ready instrument with a decent provided gig bag as well. You can have your cake and eat it on a budget. There are three tiers to this lineup and this is the middle tier. I sit quietly in my room jamming with a deluxe reverb amp and nobody else can hear.

I am blown away by the Revstar Standard! It is the nicest guitar i own. The build quality is astounding and its so beautiful. The frets are flawless, the binding and finish are flawless, it feels like a dream to play, and it sounds incredible. The P90s sound fantastic, but i think the "focus" boost is pretty useless. It sounds cool when using the bridge pickup if u want to add some mids and cut some highs, but other than that it makes your tone too muddy and muffled. The out of phase positions can sound cool though in the right context, but i could live without them to be honest. The tone and volume circuits are really useful, sound great and transform the guitar into a different animal if need be. I think the treble bleed works well too. The set up out of the box was really nice as well. So far i havent had to do anything to the guitar and it just plays wonderful. Im very happy that i decided to get one and i would highly recommend it to anyone that wants a very good guitar with p90s. I honestly think this guitar lives up to the hype

Purchased new. Was sent a refurbished guitar, box was in shambles, fingerprints still on the guitar from the previous owner. Parts were loose, pickgaurd, pickup covers, tuners. Overall the guitar appeared very cheaply made. The boosted tones were horrible and worthless in my opinion. If the transformer fails in a few years getting parts will be a nightmare, the whole focus switch felt like a gimmick. I can’t suggest anyone purchase this guitar. Action was ok, fret dressing was good. Still felt cheap. Still rather heavy for a chambered guitar, this one was 8.5 lbs… felt similar to my Les Paul. The neck is set up for shredding and is too thin and flat. I was severely disappointed. The YouTube paid influencers did their job and convinced me to buy a crappy guitar. Not doing that again.

Al principio no estaba muy convencido, pero luego pude notar la calidad de la guitarra 🎸 en verdad no es una guitarra extravagante pero si es de calidad, es una guitarra desente pero de calidad me gustó la parte del diaspason por lo que si veo es que tendré que comprar un pedal para poder hacer los efectos especiales por qué no es una guitarra poderosa como la fender que sin poner pedal sientes la diferencia

This is a beautiful instrument and great to play. I’ve been more of an acoustic player and this is only my second electric in 20 years but I couldn’t be happier. Maybe one point to consider is that it does seem a little thick up the neck but not crazy. It’s not a factor for me, but some may not prefer that. Otherwise it sounds and feels amazing. I recommend this guitar.

This guitar has a premium feel and premium playability. The p90s sounds awesome. The fit and finish for the price is excellent. You won't regret getting this if you so choose to get one.
