What the fuck is up with this guy? I freakin' love him. I've never seen a guitar/amp demo that had such clear info. it's like he's generous instead of egotistical or self-conscious. (Seems like maybe a life choice for him though.) The whole video just had an uptempo feel that was awesome. AND the cat can play. He knows tone but is also super articulate about differences in tone. Shit man. This is tops. This dude will be north of 200K subs by this time next year.

I've played electric guitars for fourty years now and even though I have a good bunch of perfect and often expensive guitars, I NEVER had a guitar with P90's. So that version would be my choice. 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!

@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 KZitem 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.

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?

If I were to get one of these, I'd probably end up coughing up the dough for a set of noiseless Kinmans or Lollars. A big investment but sadly, the 60 cycle noise of P90's is the fly in the honey.

The P90 version is the one for me. Amazing clarity and dynamics, and when you kick on a little bit of overdrive with the focus switch engaged in position 2, it gives a pretty convincing bridge humbucker tone. When you’re in position 4 with tone rolled off to around 7 and playing clean, it has an acoustic-esque thing going on. Incredibly versatile.

Excellent review! Man….the only trouble is finding any of these to try out. I even live in Japan…haven’t seen any of them anywhere. Would love to try a standard. On my list! Thanks 🙏!

Yeah, they are impossible to find anywhere! I don't think Yamaha was expecting the drop to be nearly as crazy as it became :)

P90's! A lot of variation in sounds available! And with the focus switch on, gets you into humbucker sounding territory! And like you said, it pops! Excellent demo and superbly excellent playing!

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

Great detailed test, very informative, very useful. Thanks. As a rocker, I slightly prefer the humbuckers.

Dude you love playing these guitars so much it's contagious! Thanks for a really decent walk-through and getting serious with them. Really enjoyed this! EDIT: I have to have them both - that's all there is to it.

I was thinking one could buy the P-90 Standard and also buy the more affordable Element-series humbucker model to own both on a budget. 😎

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.

I’ve had my eyes on the Revstars since I saw you playing it when they came out. Love the look. With the new lineup, I think I’d have to go with the P90’s, tho both sounded great. Thanks for the video!

Yeah, I've had many great years with my old Revstar. Really loving where they are taking the line and, yes, that P90 is awesome!

Well done, Jay! Thanks for the work, talent, and energy you put into this review. I had two previous generation RevStars and ended up moving them on to other players. But these new editions have me looking with fresh eyes. So many reviewers focus on the technical details of the instrument, but in the end we pick up the guitar that delights us with sound and 'soul', not its mechanics. You demonstrated what really matters at the end of the discussion; passion. Thanks again. I've had my finger on the 'Complete Purchase" button several times and backed away. 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.

Thank you for the great review!! Your playing was stellar and I really enjoyed just listening to you as you dove into each instrument!! I wouldn't mind having both but I'd lean toward the P90 version due to the wide dynamic range that you demonstrated!!!

A really useful comparison. I am thinking about buying a Revstar. I always liked the SG2000. So I am contemplating the HB variant.

Great demo! How have I not seen this channel before? Subscribed immediately. To me, the P-90 is the way to go. There are so many useful tones available (especially the in betweens) and the Focus switch darkens it up to put it in humbucker territory. I can see why some might not like the tailpiece, but I think it gives the guitar a vintage vibe sort of like a Gretsch or an old arch top. The humbucker is quite nice as well, particularly in the in between setting where it has a bit of that nasal early 70s Les Paul sound.

The Humbucker version hits the sweet spot between LP and 335. Great demo!
