Shit man. This is tops. This dude will be north of 200K subs by this time next year.

I just got a merlot P90 model today. A friend of mine got a black one recently and was raving about it and i had never owned a electric Yamaha guitar before. I own about 40 guitars. Ranging from G&L, Fender, Gibson etc. This guitar is hands down one of the nicest guitars for the $. Just like all of the Yamaha products ive recently obtained, its all good stuff. Recently I got into buying cheap Yamaha acoustics, along the way i ended up with a SLG200S and this and im happy I was pointed this direction. So far in 6 months my Yamaha collection consists of: F310 (traded a cheap microphone for) F325 (Blem model $85 delivered) F325D (Blem model $75 delivered) F335 (Blem model $95 delivered) FD01S (Used model $105 shipped) FG700 (Used $148 shipped) FG800 (New $230 Zzounds) SLG200S (New $729 Sweetwater) Revstar p90 (New $799 Sweetwater) I had never owned a Yamaha before recently and everyone of these guitars has been great additions to my collection and nice thing is obtaining all these guitars didnt cost an arm and a leg like some of the guitars i own. With the acoustics I just replaced saddle and nut with bone and intonated saddle and wood pins. Did basic setups. Guitars sound like a million bucks now. The Silent Guitar and the Rev are to me something unique and was needed in the guitar world. The Silent Guitar is worth checking out, it is NOT a toy, it is a REAL guitar. Dont let the looks fool ya. With the Rev they nailed the electronics and did something that isnt done enough. Pickup variations. Most P90 guitars have a 3 way. This was nice to get a 5 way and the mid boost. The only complain i had and have had with any of the Yamahas ive gotten, scratchy frets. Easy enough fix, but def more elbow grease on the Rev's stainless steel frets for sure. Yamaha has something going for it in many ways and among them is the finish or lack of finish on the back of the necks. I shave the back of all my necks (yes every guitar i own weather its a $800 guitar or a $5000 guitar has no finish on the neck). I tour and play festival stages in humidity, cold, rain, you name it. Sticky necks SUCK to deal with as your feel like your spending all your energy making sure your hand is going where it normally would go with little to no effort. I wish more companies would do this. THe Yamaha FG700 is one of the best acoustic guitars ive every played, not making that up. For $148 ! The Rev is worth all of $800 imho. 2 issues with the Rev: Black 5 way tip (doesnt match the rest of the guitar, i ordered a cream one) Scratchy frets Thats it and for someone like me to only find 2 issues on a guitar and small issues at that, thats saying something. I do want to make a rosewood guard for mine and get chrome pickup covers. Anyone know of anyone who makes guards for these newer rev's?

Pretty good chance I'll buy one, because they're crazy cheap. And it's hard to find a Yamaha guitar that isn't good. These guys know how to build guitars! And again, I just love the looks of them. ❤️

I really appreciate this video as an example of the general difference in sound between p90s and humbuckers: the humbuckers sounded compressed and thus smoother, but depending on the sound a person is going for they might find the humbuckers sounded a bit sterile compared to the p90s. And on the other hand, the p90s sound livelier and more nuanced, but a person could also call the sound less-focused and noisier. It all depends on what you wanna hear coming out of your own fingertips. Nice playing as well!

Very good indeed. Maybe you can help me. I play mostly complex chords on a crunch to overdrive rock sound. So what I need is a good note resolution in complex overdriven chords with a smooth and ear-pleasing tone.
@danielbaker2308 Жыл бұрын
@@bille77 It's really personal taste, lots of people have gone for the tones it sounds like you're going for with both p90s and humbuckers. IMO p90s are pretty great for setting up your amp with higher gain and lower volume so your guitar sounds clean with the guitar volume turned down, but then dirty's up into overdrive when you turn the volume knob up. I think the main reason for this is that p90s are (generally) heavier in bass and midtones than other single coil types, so you can play single strings gently and the tone will be bell like and clear like a Tele, but then if you lean into like 3-4 strings at the same time it'll break seamlessly into beautiful saturation. This same characteristic can make p90s sound overly dirty at higher gain levels, but in a lot of early punk rock they chose Gibson's with p90s specifically because of that dirty overdriven sound, so again it depends on what you want. But if you're going for "smooth, good note resolution with complex chords on higher overdrive" maybe Humbuckers are what you need, as they're more controllable in my experience. P90s on high overdrive is just a big fat wall of beautiful crunch and shred, but maybe too muddy if you're looking for note resolution. On the other hand, if you like to play with a mix of clean and slightly overdriven tones, p90s are hard to beat as far as liveliness, richness, and versatility goes. Both Rhett Shull and Chris Buck use p90s in their main guitars and both have great videos on KZbin demonstrating that "edge of breakup" tone. And I'm nowhere near their level, but for my personal taste I never found a guitar where I truly got obsessed with the tone until I tried p90s on light overdrive.
@gameon20003 ай бұрын
Funny thing is - Yamaha makes both the P90 AND humbuckers, that aren't typical / standard, their have their own ceramic Alnico thing going on, that separates Yamaha sound from thr redtl of the market and actually make their P90 and humbuckers sound more like a classic Telecaster / Stratocaster than a Gibson stuff.

Yamaha should thank you properly for doing a more convincing promotion of these guitars than their own marketing. Keep up the great work, my friend.

Thanks for this comparison. It was a huge help. I really want one of these P90 Revstars. If I had the humbucker version, I don't think I'd ever put down my Les Paul and take it out of the case.

Both sounded great. As I've got a Les Paul with humbuckers and a Strat I'm liking the P90 version to add variety to my sounds. But I wish I could have both! This is the first guitar not of the Fender, Gibson, PRS families that has caught my eye. Finally!

cheers Jay!! I've been searching for something to compliment/ be different to my Jazzmaster and think it's going to be the Revstar, and initially thought it'd be the p90 version, but now I'm not so sure! I'll definitely have to do a back to back and see which one sounds the best. Really enjoy your playing and the back to back section is just genius! Many thanks (Y)

Very nice demo of 2 very nice guitars. I owned a Yamaha Pacifica many years ago but these are in a very different league. Currently have a 2007 Trevor Wilkingson super strat with triple P90s but these Revstars may well be a step up in quality and performance.

Man, you showcased the two that I would buy! Those P90s sound amazing but I love that Flash Green!

Great review and excellent playing, my dude! You truly understand what to play and which guitar, and play so many genres so well. I'm super envious! Also your ability to sound so complete and full just by yourself is commendable.

From all the revstar reviews I saw you are the best promoter of this great guitar! I am going to get me one now, sure thing; that's the P90 version for me, you dragged me across. Thnx

They both sound great, but the P90's really stroke my soul! The green with racing stripe is very eye-catching ... but I really like the gold top model that Chris Buck plays as well. Cheers 🍻 great, unpretentious, informative, tasty, and fun video!! Thanks!!

I have the old version. I like the dry switch more than that new "dull-switch".

I like the P90 pickups better than the humbuckers for the Revstar Standard. The P90s have more dynamic range and sound clearer to me. I would definitely buy the P90 version.
