The RevStar guitars are a collection of solid-bodied electric guitars released by Yamaha to celebrate its 50 years in the guitar world.
Each and every one of these innovative electric guitars is inspired by 1960s-style cafe racer style motorbikes. Nearly all the guitars in the line are equipped with Yamaha's cutting-edge Dry Switch tone enhancement feature that enables musicians to enjoy sound of a higher quality. Players can also enjoy the slew of advantages that come with a quality rosewood fingerwood and humbucker pickups that make no compromise on sound and playability.
The Yamaha Revstar guitars are a true accomplishment in that their design pays tribute to the past, but their embedded technologies are a nod to the future of electric musicianship.
