Crafted to the highest of standards by Yamaha's master luthiers in Japan, Revstar Professional guitars represent the pinnacle of the Revstar series. Balancing Japanese innovation and traditional artisanship with modern features and enhanced playability, the Revstar Professional series provide versatility and tone with modern yet retro aesthetics which pay tribute to Yamaha's classic guitars going back to 1966.
Chambered Body Design
Revstar Professional guitars feature chambered bodies designed to sculpt tone and reduce weight, with carbon reinforcement in the body and neck to improve vibration transfer.
5-Way Switching
Positions 2 and 4 slightly delay the opposite pickup for a subtle phase shift that offers a fresh take on classic “in-between” sounds.
Focus Switch
The push/pull Tone control activates a passive boost with an effect similar to overwound pickups—darker highs, increased mids and lows, and an aggressive character.
P90 Pickups
The RSP02T offers P90 style single-coils, custom designed by Yamaha and use Alnico V magnets for powerful tone.
