Hi. Can I ask.... As you are an owner of this P90 model, how is the pickup noise/60 cycle hum? Is it easy to change strings with that unique tailpiece at the bridge? I am thinking about a purchase. Thanks.

No hype, authentic, great attention to what matters. Thank you - scheduled to pick mine up tomorrow and this review was a big part of that decision. (Great video work as well - my other passion👍).

I've literally watched hours of demo/reviews of these and this is by far my favorite! So nice to hear something besides bluesy classic rock riffs, nothing against, but not what I'm looking for out of this guitar (ordered yesterday - Standard-P90s :) which is more indie flavored. hoping this will be my new #1 for gigging. If i can get the tones out of it that you are, i think it's gonna work out well, thanks for the great video, ya got a new subscriber!

I have an RSP20 and you hit the nail on the head with your comments and assessments for this guitar. So happy to have the (Yamaha) P90s on this one. It's a tone monster right out of the case by hitting the (tube!) amp just right. Great natural distortion with the Focus switch on and having the amp set to start breaking with the guitar's volume at 80%. Just roll the volume up and voilà - great tube distortion without any pedals at all - not that you don't have any that are ready to go. HIGHY RECOMMENDED. I also have a Yamaha BB-734A bass that also has greatness! Now if I could just find that extra $3200 for a Billy Sheehan Attitude bass, I'd be flyin' for sure. And you certainly do not have to have the Japanese model (RSP20) to be satisfied with these guitars. Craftmanship is superb for all Yamaha instruments - motorcycles, boat motors, etc., included too!

Thanks for the demo man! Best demo there is so far. IMHO I love the aesthetics of the STANDARDS but find the pickup selection & dry switch from the ELEMENT much more usable for my needs. Those 2nd and 4th positions & "filter"ish focus switch just sound odd to me and don't fit a Revstar sort or sound, but I understand they may be usable for others. TBH if there was a P90 w/ tailpiece ELEMENT I would buy one in a heartbeat but for now I've definitely got my eyes on a standard.

@AmbientEndeavors

Good questions! Might have to do a comparison vid. They both feel pretty similar, although the new necks do feel different, a little bit of an adjustment. Both have a little bit of the bottom-heavy feel in the lap, but not as bad as a LP. Biggest differentiator are the pickups and added circuitry. The 820cr has nice clear yet full humbuckers, and can get more single coil sound with DRY mode. The rss02 gets more warm and dark when you pull the tone knob.

Hey! Thanks so much for watching. I historically have used the iridium on a large majority of my videos. It’s super convenient and I got used to how it sounds clean and it made recording in stereo dead simple. I’ve recently jumped over to the UA 65 Dream Amp pedal and am really happy with it so far; it’s more dynamic and “feels” more like an amp. I’d recommend checking it or the Ruby out. Iridium is nice but I didn’t love how it took gain and I didn’t really want to go down the IR rabbit hole , so the UA is convenient in that area.

@munkyenima

The bodies are now chambered in a super intelligent way to improve resonance and get rid of neck dive. On the standard (and Pro), the pull pot tone knob is a Mid Focus switch instead of the Air Switch on the old one (and the new element version, which is the budget version and still has the Air switch) The bridges are different. It now has a Tune-o-matic and either the stop bar, or the new trapeze looking bridge on this p90 version (the old one had a tone pros bridge.) You get either the chrome humbuckers or the p90s. The necks on the standard & Pro now have carbon fibre reinforcements in the neck. The new Pro version also has carbon fibre reinforcements under the bridge area. The Element version forgoes the maple top. The Element and Standard are Indonesian made and the Pro is made in Japan. Hope that helps! Prices in US dollars: Element $500, Standard $800, Pro $2000.

@@richardlynch5632 Oh no, don't worry, patience is a virtue. The guy at Thomann told me that a lot of people are ordering these guitars and that there are now only 10 left so he advised me to place my order today and it will be shipped out normally 1st October 2022. Thomann have great customer service, I normally buy guitars secondhand but as I can't find any Injabe to buy new and will only have it shipped by Thomann.

Which do you prefer? This one or the RS820?
@AmbientEndeavors
@AmbientEndeavors 5 ай бұрын
my ideal guitar would be a combo of both ha. I think ultimately I like this one more , mainly due to the p90s. I don't love humbuckers, and the P90s especially with the 5-way provides more usable sounds for my preference. They're both killer guitars. I like what they did with the pull put feature on the 820 more than the RSS02 - I usually want pickups to sound a little clearer vs. more beefy. But both are great options and the fit/finish and playability were really consistent across the board.

@AmbientEndeavors
@AmbientEndeavors 2 жыл бұрын
eek! I think I mis-spoke. I thought it was on the Yamaha website but it must have just been a story I heard from their rep. I might have to do a little follow-up video to tell it! Short answer is it's a fancy technology that analyzed freq responses in guitars and was able to model out a unique chambering pattern for these new ones.

In your opinion, do you think that tailpiece trick is an intentional feature or will it break?
@AmbientEndeavors
@AmbientEndeavors Жыл бұрын
I was told about it by my Yamaha rep, so it sounded like an intentional feature. You can loosen the screws a bit more than I did in the video and give it a little more play. I personally wouldn't wail on it or do dive-bombs, but if you're doing subtle Bigsby type vibrato motions it should be fine.

I've found the quality, feel, fit/finish to be great on both Revstars I've reviewed. Fret edges are smooth, neck feels and plays really nice, the look of the guitars is beautiful. I have no complaints, and in comparison with competitors' guitars in this tier I'd say it eclipses many Mexican made guitars I've played in the $6-900 range.
