The Revstar has been the guitar that helped shape Chris Buck’s distinctive tone and emotional playing style. With the RS02CB, players everywhere can experience that same inspiration and discover their own sound. Developed closely with Chris, this model faithfully recreates his original custom Revstar.
At its heart are custom-voiced P90-style pickups, carefully developed to capture the nuance and character of Chris’s playing. “They’re dynamic, responsive, and feel like the truest connection between the guitar’s natural resonance and its electric sound.”
Yamaha’s chambered body construction and carbon-reinforced neck, crafted using our exclusive Acoustic Design process, deliver rich sustain and perfect balance, while the wraparound bridge ensures direct string-to-body contact. Finished in Honey Gold with amber hat knobs and refined inlays, the RS02CB brings the soul of Chris’s custom guitar to an accessible signature model.
Specially Voiced P-90 Style Pickups
At the heart of the RS02CB is a specially voiced P90-style pickup, developed closely with Chris.
“There’s honestly nothing better than the sound of a great P90 style pickups-dynamic, responsive, and the truest conduit between the acoustic resonance of the guitar and its electric voice,” he says.
By refining coil windings and magnet selection, the pickup is tuned for slightly lower output, allowing a clear, detailed response at lower volumes and a strong, open tone when driven. This gives the instrument a wide, natural range that reflects the player’s touch.
Key Features
- Inspired by Chris Buck’s Custom Revstar – The RS02CB reflects Chris Buck’s own custom Revstar: Honey Gold finish, amber hat knobs, and stylish inlays. His signature on the back of the headstock marks his personal connection to the instrument – a guitar that has travelled the world with him, now ready to start its journey with you.
- Chambered Body – Using Yamaha’s exclusive Acoustic Design process, the RS02CB’s chambered body enhances tone while reducing weight, while a carbon-reinforced neck adds strength and stability. The result is a guitar that’s perfectly balanced, resonant, and built for the stage.
- Wraparound Bridge – The RS02CB features a wraparound bridge, carried over from Chris’s original custom model. Its direct string-to-body design maximises resonance and sustain, giving players the same organic response that Chris relies on for every gig.
