YAMAHA REVSTAR RS320VW – VINTAGE WHITE FINISH
The Revstar range of electric guitars from Yamaha draws on he heritage and experience of more than 50-years of guitar-making and adds features 21st-century guitarists expect. The range features four custom-wound pickup configurations, a superb selection of tone woods, hardware options, fast-wearing matte finishes (for that vintage vibe) and styling that’s just different enough. With just the right mix of retro-cool and modern-day features and playability, there is a Revstar guitar to suit everyone’s style.
The RS320 delivers great tone from a duo of open humbucking pickups. The slab body is light, tight and comfortable and the neck and fretboard have been specially designed for easy playing. Yamaha are pitching the RS320 as an ideal model for beginning guitarists – we’ve played it and are sure that it will appeal to experienced players looking for a no-frills rock machine.
Although the RS320 is the Revstar series base model, there is nothing basic about this guitar. The Revstar series had to start somewhere and this is it. Yamaha’s world class build quality is here in spades. The Revstar RS320 also features a pair of high output open coil humbucking pickups and our PRO-SCM setup has resulted in an easy playing fretboard.
The new Revstar electric guitar series introduces a new design concept geared to today’s style sensibilities and features Yamaha’s unique design capabilities in the first major update to the classic Yamaha guitar body shape in over a decade.
The new design is the culmination of three years of development incorporating information from multiple interviews and feedback from professional artists, music industry professionals, and guitar enthusiasts in London, Los Angeles, and Tokyo.
The re-articulated design presents advances in design and sound production through a blend of Yamaha-ness with Japanese design sensibilities. The visual concept evokes the classic, stripped-down look of the customised Café Racer motorbikes popular in 1960s London and is specifically engineered to have the warm feel and look of well-used vintage equipment.
The Revstar concept combines Yamaha’s 50-year legacy of guitar craftsmanship with Japan’s heritage of engineering excellence. Meticulous engineering makes the Revstar guitar models ideal instruments for musicians performing in a wide range of musical styles.
