MEET YOUR OTHER HALF

The new Revstar series offers three tiers, two pickup choices, new switching options, and a new range of racing-inspired finishes. Find the perfect fit for your sound and your style.

A NEW GENERATION

The original Revstar guitars launched in 2015—our first new electric guitar series in more than a decade. A completely refreshed lineup was introduced in 2022.

  • Revstar-serien i et utvalg av fargealternativer

MUSIC AND MOTORS

The Revstar style is inspired by café racer motorcycles—stripped-down performance machines that were customized to reflect the personality of their riders.

  • Revstar-serien inspirert av motorsykler i café racer-stil

MODERN. CLASSIC.

Revstar balances Japanese innovation and traditional artisanship. Modern features enhance playability, versatility, and tone, while the design references classic Yamaha electric guitars going back to 1966.

HANKO MARK

Used in place of a signature in Japan, the hanko stamp on every Revstar guitar is our seal of approval. Element and Standard models feature the “Revstar” hanko, while the stamp on Professional models signifies “Made in Japan.”

KEY FEATURES

ACOUSTIC DESIGN

Our Acoustic Design process uses advanced measurement, analysis, and modeling tools to design guitar bodies that offer clear, powerful tone and maximum resonance.

CHAMBERED BODIES

Every new Revstar features a chambered body designed with our Acoustic Design process to sculpt tone, reduce weight, and optimize balance.

CHAMBERED BODY WITH ACOUSTIC DESIGN

Revstar Professional guitars feature chambered bodies designed to sculpt tone and reduce weight, with carbon reinforcement in the body and neck to improve vibration transfer.

5-WAY SWITCHING

Positions 2 and 4 slightly delay the opposite pickup for a subtle phase shift that offers a fresh take on classic “in-between” sounds.

FOCUS SWITCH

The push/pull Tone control activates a passive boost with an effect similar to overwound pickups—darker highs, increased mids and lows, and an aggressive character.

INITIAL RESPONSE ACCELERATION

Yamaha’s I.R.A. process applies specific vibrations to release stresses between an instrument’s components, resulting in a new guitar with “played-in” sound and feel.
