Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS02T SSB Electric Guitar with Gig Bag Sunset Burst

I am blown away by the Revstar Standard! It is the nicest guitar i own. The build quality is astounding and its so beautiful. The frets are flawless, the binding and finish are flawless, it feels like a dream to play, and it sounds incredible. The P90s sound fantastic, but i think the "focus" boost is pretty useless. It sounds cool when using the bridge pickup if u want to add some mids and cut some highs, but other than that it makes your tone too muddy and muffled. The out of phase positions can sound cool though in the right context, but i could live without them to be honest. The tone and volume circuits are really useful, sound great and transform the guitar into a different animal if need be. I think the treble bleed works well too. The set up out of the box was really nice as well. So far i havent had to do anything to the guitar and it just plays wonderful. Im very happy that i decided to get one and i would highly recommend it to anyone that wants a very good guitar with p90s. I honestly think this guitar lives up to the hype Read more

The RevStar is perfect for my use. I am working from a bedroom and can't disturb everyone else with my acoustic instruments. I am using it with a NUX MP-3 and headphones as a practice setup. I also play it bare to work on fingering and it provides enough acoustic sound (chambered body) to provide feedback. It provides everything that I need and doesn't break the bank. This is a gig ready instrument with a decent provided gig bag as well. You can have your cake and eat it on a budget. There are three tiers to this lineup and this is the middle tier. I sit quietly in my room jamming with a deluxe reverb amp and nobody else can hear. Read more

First, the guitar is excellent. Set up nicely. Only picky things might be that frets are a little rough, a polish job will fix that, and the weight. It’s not a hollowbody, but a chambered body. I still love it. Unfortunatly, it arrived with the tailpiece damaged. I have contacted the seller, geartree, about that. I’ll rate it based on how it plays, not how it looks! Follow up: Geartree went above and beyond to remedy my complaint. I will buy from them again. Read more

I bought it for home studio. The tone is very balanced and quite unabrasive for a p90. The pickups have a lot of bass, so mixing it requires editing. My issue with it is weight - I simply don't want to pick it up and play because it's such a heavy log. It's strong suite is probably for playing live - it is well set, the frets are great, the neck is great, the tone control is solid. The focus switch is a gimmick - the neck pickup already has a lot of bass to it, so an extra doesn't do much. Despite many reviews saying the quality control is good, I first received a guitar with one pickup breaking due to a malfunctioning switch (it's very well covered by Guitartec review in this thread). On the second try it was fine. Ultimately I have returned it and opted for an Epiphone SG P90. Read more

Purchased new. Was sent a refurbished guitar, box was in shambles, fingerprints still on the guitar from the previous owner. Parts were loose, pickgaurd, pickup covers, tuners. Overall the guitar appeared very cheaply made. The boosted tones were horrible and worthless in my opinion. If the transformer fails in a few years getting parts will be a nightmare, the whole focus switch felt like a gimmick. I can’t suggest anyone purchase this guitar. Action was ok, fret dressing was good. Still felt cheap. Still rather heavy for a chambered guitar, this one was 8.5 lbs… felt similar to my Les Paul. The neck is set up for shredding and is too thin and flat. I was severely disappointed. The YouTube paid influencers did their job and convinced me to buy a crappy guitar. Not doing that again.

This is a beautiful instrument and great to play. I’ve been more of an acoustic player and this is only my second electric in 20 years but I couldn’t be happier. Maybe one point to consider is that it does seem a little thick up the neck but not crazy. It’s not a factor for me, but some may not prefer that. Otherwise it sounds and feels amazing. I recommend this guitar. Read more
