Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS02T Electric Guitar, Vintage White

Following in the stylish spirit of '60s London, the Yamaha Revstar RSS02T is a guitar that hits all the highs of a modern instrument and a vintage treasure. This Revstar, made in homage to the aesthetics of '60s Café Racer bikes found on the streets of mid-century London, punches in with a lineup of player-forward features for exceptional musicality.

The Yamaha RSS02T lines up a number of specifications that pair a retro-minded design with modern playability. First, a chambered mahogany kicks off for a light and resonant feel and response, particularly when it's paired with a maple top for that added high-end bite. Gloss wraps this body for a sleek look and feel across the Revstar's double-horned form. From here, a three-piece mahogany neck joins in with carbon reinforcement and a smooth satin finish. The neck builds up with a rosewood fingerboard lined with twenty-two Jumbo stainless steel frets. Speedy and spacious, these frets offer effortless playability across a fast twelve-inch fingerboard radius to facilitate supremely smooth moves across the full scale length.

Audibly, this Revstar Standard comes to life with two Yamaha VP5n pickups. These two P90 single-coil Alnico V magnet pickups punch in with a heated kick made for dynamic musicality and cutting cleanly through the mix. Master volume and tone controls align with a five-way pickup selector switch and a push/pull "Focus" switch that interestingly shapes the P90s' sounds to fit in a variety of performance scenarios. Backing up its voice, the Revstar Standard features a reliable hardware setup with a Tune-O-Matic bridge and Racing tailpiece to make for a solid connection and easy stringing experiences. This Yamaha Revstar comes with an included Yamaha gig bag.
