THE NEW REVSTAR
MEET YOUR OTHER HALF
Sound
Inspired by raw power and performance, Revstar’s sound is as
unique and bold as its aesthetic. Working to evoke a visceral,
unbridled power and an individual, organic tone that is made
possible only by considering every detail, Yamaha’s engineers chose
materials carefully and designed custom pickups to make sure
Revstar sounds as stunning as it looks.
Pickups
Designed from the ground up, Revstar features specially wound YGD pickups that are
perfectly matched to each guitar. More than 50 prototype pickups were tested featuring
different combinations of wire, windings, magnets and base plates. Eventually, a spec was
settled on for each guitar model and the Revstar pickup series was born.
Custom Hardware
Inspired by the stripped-down custom Café Racer motorbikes popularized on the streets of London in the 1960s, Revstar’s
hardware captures the high-performance, individual character of those bikes with a wide range of totally unique, customized
hardware. From the unique pickup covers and raw copper scratchplate on the Revstar Professional, to the totally custom
floating aluminum tailpiece on the RS502T, each and every component is perfectly calibrated for great performance and
unmistakable style—capturing the very essence of a Café Racer.
Comfort Contoured Body
Revstar is a workhorse through and through, but that doesn’t mean
there has been any compromise on comfort and playability. With
every contour designed from the ground up to look and feel great,
Revstar’s body features a deep be lly cut, hidden forearm contour
and a newly designed neck joint for outstanding upper fret access.
This is a guitar made to be played all night.
