Yamaha Matteo Mancuso Signature Revstar Electric Guitar, Vintage Sunburst

Matteo Mancuso—highly acclaimed Italian guitarist known for his impressive fingerstyle technique—has long loved the Revstar, and what began as a relationship with Yamaha in 2017 has now blossomed into a versatile, dynamic, and precise signature instrument that delivers what demanding, forward-thinking artists need for the modern age. The Matteo Mancuso Signature Revstar embodies uncompromising performance in every spec, providing an electric guitar that excellently suits a wide array of styles and genres.

This signature instrument is constructed with a beautiful flamed maple top, detailed with a gloss Vintage Sunburst finish that showcases warm hues of brown, orange, and amber. Forming the double-cutaway body shape is a chambered mahogany back that supplies weight relief and even more resonance in an already sonorous guitar. Adorned with gold and cream hardware accents, the aesthetic appeal accurately matches the rich and nuanced tone that emanates from Matteo Mancuso’s signature Revstar.

Further exemplifying the thoughtful build is a three-piece mahogany neck, boasting carbon reinforcement for a sturdy and resonant playing experience. Further, the neck features a carefully shaped heel to allow unobtrusive access to all of the higher frets. Topping the neck is a rosewood fingerboard lined with jumbo stainless-steel frets and custom artist-logo inlays that elegantly showcase Mancuso’s subtle vision. At the headstock, gold-colored locking tuning machines provide stable tuning and easy maintenance, while the signature truss-rod cover adds another touch of the artist’s personality. Lastly, a Tune-O-Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece provides proper intonation and excellent vibration transfer, allowing for precise control during setup and ensuring each player is adequately supported for musical greatness.

Matteo Mancuso needs articulate pickups to detail his nuanced playstyle and has deemed DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary humbuckers a perfect fit. These vintage-spec pickups feature a softer magnetic pull, allowing the strings to vibrate more freely, resulting in better sustain, greater tonal clarity, and an overall expressive translation of the instrument and playstyle. Though humbuckers, these pickups offer exceptional clarity and have just enough character to inject life into an ordinary stock sound. However, if overdrive is what you’re after, a push/pull tone pot activates the “Focus Switch,” simulating the sound of an overwound pickup that delivers hotter, beefier bass and mid frequencies that well suit rock and more aggressive styles. This signature instrument is controlled by traditional volume and tone knobs, along with a 5-way pickup switch that allows for unique phase positions for even more tonal variety.

Delivered in a Yamaha gig bag for lightweight tone-to-show transfer, Matteo Mancuso’s signature Revstar can now be your signature as well. Full of differing tones and unique applications, this incredible guitar is ready to be utilized for all your musical endeavors.
