Yamaha Revstar Guitars

Yamaha has injected new life into its popular Revstar series of electric guitars — originally launched in 2015. With a concept inspired by café racer motorcycles (high-performance machines that showcased their riders' personalities), these updated classic-meets-modern instruments offer "enhanced playability, versatility and tone" in the words of Yamaha's Product Marketing Manager, Dave Miner.

The latest Revstar models boast chambered bodies developed using Yamaha’s exclusive 'Acoustic Design' process — boosting tone, reducing weight, and ensuring optimal balance. Their dual Alnico V humbuckers also deliver powerful, authoritative sounds with a warm and musical mid-range, while a reshaped neck profile improves their playing comfort. Ultimately, the beauty of a Yamaha Revstar is its simplicity — understated, yet beautifully refined under the hood!
