Description

In a land of cookie-cutter guitar shapes the Yamaha Revstar RSP20CR Solidbody Electric Guitar stands out from rest. Finely crafted in Japan, it's packed with cool style and desirable appointments. It features a dual-cutaway mahogany body with a maple top and a set mahogany neck. The comfortable neck is thick with a fat profile that adds tons of sustain and a familiar feel.

Yamaha choose some great-sounding electronics for this guitar that center around a pair of Yamaha VH7+ Alnico pickups humbuckers. Wired to a master volume and a master tone with a push/pull dry switch to bypass the tone circuit setting, these pickups are powerful and versatile.

Satin nickel hardware is used throughout including die-cast Yamaha tuners, control knobs, wraparound Tonepros bridge, and the antique pickup covers on the humbuckers. The Revstar RSP20CR ships with a nice hardshell case.

    A great Guitar that certainly seems to hover under the radar. Very fine craftsmanship all around. I have found that guitars made in Japan to be near what a high end custom shop guitar made in the US. The Pick Up's have tremendous clarity. The neck shape is perfect for me. All hardware is very good. Jumbo frets which I like. This thing smokes.

    Flawless workmanship, great tone control with the Dry Switch, feels like it was meant for me.

    Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing what the blemish is. However, it would only be a minor cosmetic flaw and would not effect the guitars play ability.
