I discovered them through Chris Buck. I have to say they are the best looking relatively new guitar I’ve seen built by a major company in ages.

[@steveelling9604]

Yamaha's quality control is second to none. Just my opinion. Great company, great prices, great craftsmanship.

[@estevanorozco3954]

Yamaha VMax sounds better

[@seanfromaustin]

It's crazy how the Revstars are getting so much attention now. The last run of models they did in 2016 were awesome.

[@didamnesia3575]

Fun fact... better electronics can be installed

[@Gloomshimmer]

stop advertising them guitar youtube......they increase the price hard.

[@transmundanemusic]

Damnit…now I want another guitar I don’t need

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Japanese workmanship is a very sought after quality. If they say it's good. It is good. You may want to look up the pots and their price/quality.

[@fender1430]

Yamaha guitars needs more love. Revstars and Pacificas all sounds awesome! Beautiful guitars,and a good value.

[@iused2bfast153]

Every electric guitar should have stainless frets and I'll gladly pay the extra cost

[@MrMjp58]

As an extra to my last comment, I’ve just played one of these (humbuckers) for a hour or two.

[@rudiyantohalim736]

chris buck is an amazing Revstar player. for me, he's the one who got my attention on his P-90's

[@justmehere6094]

I found my Revstar (2) Humbuckers IN the Revstar to be some of the best sounding piclups I've had, certainly stock. Responsive, complex tones. Yamaha says they went through 100 different designs until the one they finalized as fitting the best with the guitar. IMHO they nailed it. I like using the focus switch on an an amp set to light crunch, toll the volume back on the bridge to edge of breakup and engage the Focus boost. Oh baby.

[@ThomasStrings]

Just a new comment for those finding this vid. I have owned all 3 tiers of the Yamaha Revstars and by far my favorite is the Element. I have one now and the tone is amazingly buttery and thick but not dark and it's relatively light to wear. Feels great and I like what the push-pull does on the Element as opposed to the pro. 100% recommend the Element, it is not "cheap" guitar.

NEAT STORY.... Today, I purchased the exact P90 sunset burst one you're reviewing. After looking everywhere on-line and at several brick & mortar shops for this exact model and finding it backordered virtually everywhere, I decided to check out a very cool guitar shop in Providence, RI where I had actually tried an RSP Revstar 2 years ago and loved it. Well, they were all out of Revstars of every model soooo I thought while I was there I'd look at my second choice guitar, a Reverend. Played a few and was just about to leave when the UPS lady delivered a box of 2 guitars, and wouldn't you just know it... a brand spankin' new rss02t in sexy sunset burst at $799. The sales guy said "that NEVER happens... what are the chances"? Well, if that isn't kismet, I don't know what is.

I've been a fan of Yamaha guitars for years, they very rarely put out anything that's not good. Their semis in particular are some of the best I've ever played. Also, absolutely nothing wrong with small pots if they're good quality. I'd take top notch smaller pots over average full size ones any day.

[@DesertScorpionKSA]

I agree the Sunset Burst with P90s is the guitar I would buy. Those P90s sound great and I love the finish.

[@thedondeluxe6941]

I tested the previous version of that p-90 model against a p-90 equipped Gibson Les Paul a while ago, and I was super impressed with the Yamaha pickups. Best stock p-90's I've tried in a mid-budget guitar.

[@VictorVonBelmont]

As a guitar and amp tech, I have to say that potentiometer size has nothing to do with their quality. There are good quality small pots and poor quality big pots. I actually preffer small form factor potentiometers in guitars and pedals because they allow for better use of the limited space.
