I got one of these after watching your review of the basic model (I decided that between this and the pro there wasn't much that would justify the extra £'s). I concur with everything you say, except your comment on the colours available. Mine is Hot Merlot and looks fabulous and I like the others as well. This is a fantastically spec'd guitar for the price point. The build quality is excellent and it plays really well. I recommend people get one if you are going through a bout of GAS.

Excellent assessment and comment! Like you said, I only wish that the P-90 version would also get sold with a hardtail and the racing stripes like the humbucker version. It’s also sometimes uncomfortable to play rock while muting strings with the fancy tail that’s usually more suited to playing clean tones - a Jazz player would really like the tailpiece on this model. The carbon reinforced neck is a huge bonus and should be done on all guitars at this juncture. I do like the specs, colors and aesthetic Yamaha biker vibe otherwise, just those changes would make the P90 version perfect for rockers. Have to admit that this tailpiece is well designed, though.

Stainless steel frets, incredible neck and the satin finish is smooth as silk - it sounds very loud and resonant acoustically. The pickups are fantastic, very punchy and articulate. Volume maintains treble throughout. I am flabbergasted - it feels like a 3000$ + guitar... the push pull switch is great with overdrive- especially the bridge pickup , but less useful on clean.

Thanks for that review Colin - really enjoyed all of it. There is the RSPro 20x - rusty brass charcoal - has the racing stripes. I’ve got that guitar in that colour and also have the previous generation P90s RS502 (Japanese denim blue). Both are great guitars. I like the previous generation for its simplicity and just think it’s a fantastic guitar. The more expensive pro guitar that I have is significantly lighter, resonates better and has fast neck, but I think the benefits of actually having that over a standard are marginal. It does though, more than hold it’s own (its a humbucker guitar) against the Gibson LP that I have - in fact in many ways it’s superior and way cheaper. These guitars have good upper neck access, clarity and great feel. The focus option really comes into its own on with more gain - I use it a lot. Keep it going -ATB👍👍

To me, Yamaha has a certain design aesthetic that comes through in a lot of its designs. BB basses, Revstar guitars, rounded proto-superstrats from the late 70s, and 60s and 70s motorcycles with the tuning forks on the tank. Yamaha might not have the old rock pedigree of Fender or Gibson, but it's an iconic brand whose history shows through in its new designs.

I have the exact model in the same color. I loved the guitar, but thought the sound was just okay, and I wasn't a fan of the focus switch, to me it sounded very muddy. I replaced all the electronics, installing Seymour Duncan Silencer P90's, with a hot one in the bridge. I also replaced the pots with better quality CTS and used a 3-way blade switch. I dumped the focus switch transformer, so it's just a simple dual P90 3-way switch setup. A guitar tech friend put a good setup on it; the nut needed to be filed down a bit on a couple of strings, and the action lowered a bit. The guitar now sounds amazing. For the price and a little extra money, this is now a great sounding instrument. The upgrades I made brought this thing to life!

Aloha Colin! I hope you enjoyed your time away. Another great video. I'm glad Yamaha is having a good following with the Revstar. Their other guitars are also good. Better pricing than Epiphone. I think Epiphone is putting out a better spec on their latest guitar, but I have a hard time accepting their prices. I'm interested in the ES 355 but again the price. At least Yamaha is keeping the price under $1,000. I think. Mahalo Colin!

So I went down a revstar rabbit hole a couple months back when I was gassi’n for a high-fret access guitar and what i concluded was that they hold their money throughout the price points, the standard offers what the pro does for half the cost, they are on the heavy side, they come in flat colours unless you buy an older blue Jean model which is tiger striped. I got to the stage where I decided I liked the P90 version in sunset finish Standard version and had almost scored one off eBay but the deal fell through… I still check eBay from time to time but although I haven’t played one I kind of think I’d rewire one to a simpler 3 position setup and maybe change the pickups to suite - I’ve gone off trick switching. Must say col.. really loved your jam… l always find them entertaining but this weeks one was a vibe mate and your vibrato is getting killer 👍
