Indestructible Hardware in the form of die-cast tuners and the classic duo of Stopbar tailpiece and Tune-O-Matic bridge completes the Revstar Element RSE20 Vintage White guitar from Yamaha.
Inspired by tuned cafe racer motorcycles, the Yamaha Revstar Element RSE20 Vintage White impresses with a chic design, first-class playing characteristics and versatile sounds.
Thanks to the strong C-profile and the satin back, the glued mahogany neck offers with unhindered playability.
~ Resonant mahogany guitar ~
To give the Revstar Element RSE20 guitar a resonant and responsive sound, Yamaha provides the mahogany body with resonance chambers whose position was determined with the help of the "Acoustic Design Process". In addition, the C-profile of the glued, three-piece mahogany neck promises comfortable and unhindered playability of all 22frets of the rosewood fingerboard.
Yamaha VH3 Alnico V humbuckers with dry switch promises versatile sound between clean and overdrive.
~ VH3 Pickups with Dry Switch ~
The pickups on the Revstar Element RSE20 are a Yamaha VH3n humbucker on the neck and a Yamaha VH3b humbucker in bridge position. Equipped with Alnico V magnets, the pickups deliver a powerful sound with well-dosed, accentuated mids, which is suitable not only for heavy overdrive and distortion sounds, but also for warm harmonious and clean . In addition to the classic 3-way circuit with general volume and tone controls, Yamaha equips the RSE20 guitar with the proven dry switch, which delivers crisp single-coil sounds without unwanted noise through an optimally tuned bass cut filter.
Tuning stable die-cast tuners and the 'Revstar' Hanko stamp complete the headstock of the Revstar RSE20 guitar.
~ Indestructible hardware ~
Last but not least, Yamaha completes the equipment of the Revstar Element RSE20 Vintage White electric guitar with indestructible hardware that promises long-lasting playing pleasure due to its unlimited reliability. For clean intonation and comfortable string action, the classic combination of a Stopbar tailpiece and an optimally adjustable Tune-O-Matic bridge is used on the body. Six die-cast tun ers with beautiful vintage-style flights also guarantee accurate tuning with high stability.
I’d like to thank you for your delivery of my, now beloved, Yamaha Revstar guitar; it indeed arrived all set up, and I have to boast, even the knobs worked well. I am a leftie and left handed guitars, even the high range ones, almost always come with right-hand wired pots, which you must have re-wired at your own cost. I’m not sure if the guys in the store did that, or whether it’s the manufacturer who took some pains to understand the issue, but just to sum up: the guitar was playable right out of the box. Now, the above has never happened to me when it came to electric guitars. Kudos to you!
As for the guitar itself: no, no issues. Everything works as they say in the description. A miracle, I tell you.
