Originality Redefined – The Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS02T Electric Guitar

Revstar II refines the look, sound, and feel of Yamaha’s original Revstar® guitar series. The RSS02T is available in four café racer-inspired finishes and features a custom tailpiece.

P90-style pickups combined with a 5-position pickup selector and a passive push/pull Focus Switch provide uncommon versatility for a two-pickup guitar. The RSS20L model for left-handed players is also available. A deluxe gig bag is included.
