Yamaha Electric Guitar Revstar RSE20

Chambered Resonance. Alnico V Power. Essential Revstar Character.

The Yamaha Revstar Element RSE20 brings the distinctive lines and comfortable balance of the Revstar family to an accessible, performance-ready instrument. Its chambered mahogany body and set-in three-piece mahogany neck create a solid yet lively platform for practice, recording, rehearsal and live playing.

Two VH3 Alnico V humbuckers provide a powerful, responsive voice, while the three-way selector keeps pickup changes immediate. Pull the Master Tone control to engage Yamaha’s passive Dry Switch, tightening the low end for additional clarity without the output loss associated with conventional coil splitting.

Chambered mahogany body for balance and resonance

Yamaha’s chambered construction reduces unnecessary weight while shaping the instrument’s acoustic response. The result feels balanced against the body and lively beneath the hands during longer practice sessions and performances.

VH3 Alnico V humbuckers with power and definition

The neck and bridge VH3 pickups deliver a full humbucker voice with clear note separation. They move confidently from warm clean passages to driven rhythm, sustained lead tones and higher-gain sounds.

Push-pull Dry Switch adds clarity without a battery

The passive Dry Switch filters selected low frequencies for a tighter, clearer response while retaining hum-cancelling operation and avoiding the volume drop associated with a conventional coil split.

Straightforward three-way switching

Select the neck pickup for warmth, both pickups for a balanced combined voice or the bridge pickup for focused attack. Master Volume and push-pull Master Tone controls keep operation fast and intuitive.

Set-in three-piece mahogany neck with 24.75-inch scale

The set-in neck creates a solid connection to the body, while the 12-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets provide an approachable surface for chord work, bends and expressive vibrato.

Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar for dependable adjustment

The Tune-O-Matic bridge allows precise intonation adjustment and pairs with a stopbar tailpiece for a direct, solid response. Die-cast tuners and a PPS nut complete the practical Element-series hardware package.
