Chambered Body with Acoustic Design

Revstar Standard employs Yamaha’s carefully engineered chambering process to reduce weight, enhance resonance and increase projection. Internal routing and carbon reinforcement allow the body to breathe while improving vibration transfer through the neck, resulting in rich harmonics, faster response and a more alive playing experience.

Five-Way Switching for Expanded Tones

Borrowed from the flagship Revstar Professional, the RSS02T’s 5-position switching unlocks a wide tonal spectrum. Positions 2 and 4 feature a subtle in-phase shift, adding a new twist to classic intermediate tones—ideal for shimmering cleans, funky rhythm lines and expressive dynamic work.

Focus Switch: Passive Power, On Demand

Engage the push/pull Tone control to activate Yamaha’s Focus Switch. This passive boost emulates overwound pickup character, enhancing mids, tightening lows and rounding off the top end for a thicker, heavier voice:

• Darker, punchier highs
• Increased midrange authority
• Full, commanding low end
• A perfect option for rock drive, fat lead lines and vintage grit

The Yamaha Revstar RSS02T blends boutique styling, P90 growl, acoustic-inspired resonance and modern wiring flexibility into a single road-ready instrument. Engineered to perform and designed to inspire, it is an exceptional choice for players seeking standout tone and unmistakable identity.
