Yamaha introduces a brand new lineup of Revstar electric guitars. Originally launched in 2015, Revstar was the first new electric guitar series from Yamaha in more than a decade, drawing on the brand’s heritage in electric guitar design and the heritage of motorcycle design from the Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.
“The original Revstar concept was inspired by café racer motorcycles—high-performance racing machines that showcased the personality of the riders,” says Dave Miner, Product Marketing Manager for Electric Guitars, Yamaha Guitar Group. “The new Revstar series fine-tunes that concept with enhanced playability, versatility, and tone, for players interested in classic style with modern upgrades.”
A cosmetic variation of the RSP20 with body binding painted to match the gold racing stripes, a striking anodized aluminum scratchplate, and includes a hardshell case.
