Yamaha has injected new life into its acclaimed Revstar series of electric guitars — originally launched in 2015. With a concept inspired by café racer motorcycles (high-performance machines that showcased their riders' personalities), these updated classic-meets-modern instruments offer "enhanced playability, versatility and tone" in the words of Yamaha's Product Marketing Manager, Dave Miner.
The latest Revstar models boast chambered bodies developed using Yamaha’s exclusive 'Acoustic Design' process — boosting tone, reducing weight, and ensuring optimal balance. Their dual Alnico V humbuckers also deliver powerful, authoritative sounds with a warm and musical mid-range, while a reshaped neck profile improves their playing comfort. Ultimately, the beauty of a Yamaha Revstar is its simplicity — understated, yet beautifully refined under the hood!
Revstar Professional Model
The Professional is the flagship electric guitar in the new Revstar lineup. Expertly crafted in Japan and available in a range of racing-style finishes, the Revstar Professional is the perfect working musician's guitar with a few unique tricks up its sleeve. Boasting carbon reinforcement in its neck and body for incredible strength, it also offers a 5-way pickup selector switch and a passive push/pull 'Focus Switch' — meaning that the Professional provides uncommon versatility for a two-pickup guitar! A deluxe hardshell case is also included.
Key Features
- Chambered Mahogany Body — The innovative chambering pattern was developed using advanced measurement and modelling tools to specifically sculpt tone and increase resonance while lowering weight.
- 3-Piece Mahogany Neck with Carbon Reinforcement — Multi-piece/carbon design yields amazing rigidity; dramatically improving tuning stability.
- Satin Neck Finish — Provides a slippery, non-sticky feel for fast playability.
- Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets — Large size offers a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends. Stainless steel material is corrosion-resistant and harder to wear down than conventional fret-wire.
- Alnico V Humbuckers — Proprietary pickups deliver the punchy sounds you'd expect from humbuckers, with added warmth.
- Passive Push/Pull 'Focus Switch' — A passive boost function that evokes the sound of overwound pickups.
- 5-Way Pickup Switching — A circuit that puts a new twist on classic "in between" sounds.
- Included Hardshell Case — Robust, high-quality case protects the instrument against knocks on the road.
