YAMAHA's ``REVSTAR'' series, which is popular for its stylish design and carefully selected sound, has undergone a full model change!
The ``Revstar'' series has a POP yet classic design based on the concept of a classic ``cafe racer'' style bike.
It has now become an important part of YAMAHA's electric guitars!
Its unique POP and stylish design makes you feel that guitarists and bikers share the same mindset!
Two humbucker-type pickups are mounted on a chambered body that provides long sustain and rich resonance.
It also features a "focus switch" that produces an attractive tone with an aggressive tone that emphasizes the mid-low range.
We also use "IRA (Initial Response Acceleration)" which performs aging processing by applying guitar-specific vibrations!
The Japanese-made "Revstar" brings together the technologies of "YAMAHA" and sends out to the world with an uncompromising sound concept!

・Inheritance and development of unique designs reminiscent of motorcycles
The characteristic body shape of the "REVSTAR series" inherits the design of the previous model, but is also inspired by the custom bikes created in London in the 1960s.
The traditional cool and inorganic image of the "cafe racer" style has been reborn into a design inspired by the modern lacy and colorful cafe racer style.
It features silver metallic hardware, a rich and colorful color finish, and an original designed stop tailpiece for a modern and lacy style.
・Creates a unique and wide range of sounds with a fusion of dynamic and tight sounds, two types of pickups, a new 5-position selector, and a focus switch.
The ``REVSTAR Series'' uses Yamaha's unique design process ``Acoustic Design'' that utilizes acoustic analysis and 3D modeling to create a new guitar body.
It was designed to maximize vibration and produce an excellent sound as a musical instrument.
In addition, by incorporating carbon fiber not only in the neck but also in the body, we have eliminated unnecessary low frequencies and achieved a tight sound.
In addition, as a new feature that we independently developed, we can slightly delay the signal of one pickup to create halftone-like effects without reducing the volume.
Equipped with a "5-position selector" that allows you to select the tone, and a "focus switch" that uses a small passive transformer to enhance the midrange.
・Newly developed body structure that combines natural and comfortable playability with durability
In the "REVSTAR series", all models are chambered, which not only affects the sound but also reduces weight.
In addition, by adopting a neck joint that is 1.5 frets deeper than the previous model, lightweight pegs, and a uniquely shaped strap pin, we have made it possible to reduce the weight without the head falling off.
In addition, the neck features a satin finish, jumbo frets, and Yamaha's unique set neck joint for smoother fingering and playability.
In addition, the body has been contoured with a unique design to ensure a secure fit. The back and top are cut to provide comfortable playability even during long live performances.
