Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS20 Electric Guitar, Hot Merlot

The Yamaha RSS20 features six finish options, a chambered body and carbon-reinforced neck, dual humbucking pickups, 5-way switching, and a passive Focus Switch, providing exceptional versatility.

Main Features

• Chambered maple and mahogany body
• Carbon-reinforced 3-piece mahogany neck
• 2 Alnico V humbucking pickups
• 5-Position pickup selector
• Passive Focus Switch
• Deluxe gig bag included

Revstar Standard guitars feature chambered bodies designed to sculpt tone and reduce weight, with carbon reinforcement in the neck to improve vibration transfer.

With the same 5-way switching as Revstar Professional, the subtle phase shift on positions 2 and 4 offers a fresh take on classic “in-between” sounds.

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.
