The Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS02T Fired Red skilfully bridges the gap between classic rock sounds and modernized sound options. The electric guitar with its striking café racer design offers comfortable playability thanks to its ergonomic body design and slim neck profile, while the two Yamaha VP5 P-90 Soapbar single coils produce characterful sounds of the wild fifties and sixties. An extensive switching system with five switching positions and an additional focus switch offers an enormous variety of possible sounds from Vintage to modern.
Chambered Mahogany Body
With its revised basic construction, the Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS02T Fired Red offers an extremely comfortable weight and additional body resonance. The key to success here is the targeted chambering of the two-piece mahogany body, which provides the body with resonance chambers and thus gives the instrument additional Sustain and a wiry response. The carbon reinforcement of the mahogany neck also plays an important role here by further optimizing the vibration characteristics of the construction.
Yamaha VP5 P-90 Soapbar Single Coils
The Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS02T Fired Red features two in-house Yamaha VP5 P90 Soapbar Single Coil pickups for the right sounds from Vintage Rock n' Roll to Blues and brute punk riffs. The single coils, designed according to classic specifications, have Alnico V magnets and a wide coil winding for particularly concise mids and are tuned to their respective positions and also cut a good figure when switched together. A focus switch is concealed behind the push/pull function of the tone pot which, when activated, provides a passive Boost for further gain reserves and an additional mid push.
I have had the guitar for 6 months now. Build quality and fit and finish of the instrument is very good. No sharp fret edges, knobs and switches work as intended, tuners are good and does the job and it feels like a well built instrument. I like the sound of the p90s and like that it has a satin neck. I have not used the focus switch a lot and could have done without it to be honest. Overall I am very happy with the guitar and its great value for money.
