About Yamaha Revstar guitars

The Yamaha Revstar Guitar is a modern and stylish instrument that combines Yamaha's craftsmanship and technology to deliver a unique playing experience. Inspired by the classic motorcycles of the 1960s, the Revstar features a sleek and elegant design that stands out from the crowd.

One of the most notable features of the Revstar is its chambered body, which enhances the guitar's resonance and acoustic sound while reducing its weight. The chambering process involves removing some of the wood from the guitar's body and creating hollow pockets or chambers, which allows the remaining wood to vibrate more freely. This results in a more open and dynamic tone with increased sustain and clarity.

Another innovative design feature of the Revstar Element is the Dry Switch, which allows the player to cut out the low frequencies of the guitar's signal, creating a clear and transparent sound. This feature can be particularly useful for recording and live performances.

The Focus Switch, available on both the standard and professional models of the Revstar, is another unique feature that allows the player to choose between two distinct tonal characters. When engaged, the Focus Switch alters the frequency response of the pickups, resulting in a tighter, more focused sound.

The Revstar is available in a variety of models and finishes, each with its own unique set of features and specifications. From the entry-level RS320 to the high-end RS502T, the Revstar offers a versatile range of tonal options and exceptional playability.
