Mahogany guitar with first-class sound characteristics
With the Japanese-built Revstar Professional RSP02T, Yamaha focuses on delivering a lively tonal character and effortless playability. The resonance chambers in the carbon-reinforced, two-piece mahogany body – positioned according to Yamaha’s "Acoustic Design Process" – along with the "Initial Response Acceleration" (I.R.A.) system, create a resonant sound with the organic dynamics of a well-played instrument. The comfortably shaped mahogany neck, reinforced with inlaid carbon rods and featuring a pleasantly strong C-profile, allows both classic and modern playing techniques to be executed with ease. Jumbo stainless steel frets on the rosewood fingerboard offer virtually wear-free performance, making bends smooth and precise.
Thanks to two Yamaha VP5 single coils in P-90 style and the flexible circuit with Focus Switch, the guitar delivers versatile sounds.
VP5 single coils with flexible circuit.
The Revstar Professional RSP02T’s tone is shaped by Yamaha VP5 pickups in both the neck and bridge positions. These P-90 style single coils, equipped with Alnico V magnets, deliver surprisingly powerful clean and overdriven tones, capturing the guitar’s lively character with excellent dynamics and a responsive touch. The 5-way switching offers versatile tonal options by combining the pickups in different ways, while the Focus Switch on the tone control adds a punchy, “overwound” sound when you want a more aggressive edge.
The headstock of the Revstar Professional RSP02T carries tuning stable die-cast tuners and the "Made in Japan" Hanko stamp.
Stylish hardware features
Last but not least, Yamaha rounds off the Revstar Professional RSP02T Sunset Burst with high-quality hardware that perfectly complements its motorcycle-inspired café racer style. The striking Racing Tailpiece, securely mounted to the body with four screws, feeds strings through a Tune-O-Matic bridge, ensuring precise intonation and optimal string action. Vintage-style Yamaha die-cast tuners with cream-colored plastic buttons provide reliable and accurate tuning for the guitar.
