Product details
True Left-Handed Revstar Design. Chambered Resonance. Alnico V Power.
The Yamaha Revstar Element RSE20L is a purpose-built left-handed electric guitar—not a right-handed instrument adapted for reverse use. Its controls, bridge, cutaway access and playing orientation are arranged for left-handed musicians, while the Swift Blue finish delivers the distinctive modern styling of the Revstar range.
A chambered mahogany body, set-in three-piece mahogany neck and dual VH3 Alnico V humbuckers provide comfortable balance and a powerful, responsive voice. The push-pull Dry Switch tightens the low end for additional clarity, giving left-handed players a practical range of clean, driven and high-gain sounds.
Key Features
Purpose-built for left-handed players
The body orientation, cutaways, controls, bridge and string layout are designed for conventional left-handed playing. This provides natural access and balance without the compromises of reversing a right-handed guitar.
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
Pull the Master Tone control to engage Yamaha’s passive Dry Switch. It filters selected low frequencies for a tighter, clearer response while retaining hum-cancelling operation and avoiding the output drop associated with a conventional coil split.
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 playing response. Die-cast tuners complete the practical Element-series hardware package.
