Chambered Body with Acoustic Design
The chambered construction of the body not only lightens the guitar but also shapes a resonant, acoustic-inspired tone, enhancing your performance on stage or in the studio.
Advanced 5-Way Switching
Featuring the same 5-way switching system found on the Revstar Professional range, positions 2 and 4 introduce a subtle phase shift to classic pickup combinations, offering fresh, ‘in-between’ voicings rarely found in traditional setups.
Focus Switch for Tonal Depth
Engage the push-pull Tone knob to activate the Focus Switch. This passive boost mimics the characteristics of overwound pickups, delivering darker highs, emphasised mids and lows, and a notably aggressive edge to your tone.
Custom-Designed Pickups
Equipped with Yamaha’s own RSS20 and RSS20L humbuckers employing Alnico V magnets, the pickups deliver powerful and articulate sound. Alternatively, the RSS02T variant features P90-style single-coils, catering to a diverse range of tonal preferences.
