Yamaha Electric Guitar Revstar RSS02T

P-90 Character. Chambered Resonance. Unmistakable Revstar Style.

The Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS02T combines bold, articulate P-90-style tone with refined modern playability. Its chambered mahogany body and maple top are shaped using Yamaha’s Acoustic Design process for comfortable balance and musical resonance, while the set-in three-piece mahogany neck creates a solid, connected playing feel.

Two VP5 Alnico V P-90-style pickups, a five-way selector and push-pull Focus Switch provide a remarkably broad range of sounds—from open, detailed cleans to muscular rhythm and cutting lead tones. Jumbo stainless-steel frets, carbon neck reinforcement, a distinctive racing tailpiece and an included deluxe gig bag complete a stage-ready Standard-series instrument.

VP5 Alnico V P-90-style pickups with clarity and bite

The neck and bridge VP5 pickups combine single-coil articulation with a broad, muscular midrange. They respond dynamically to picking strength and move naturally from warm cleans to gritty overdrive and focused lead sounds.

Acoustic Design chambering for balance and resonance

Yamaha’s chambered maple-top and mahogany-back construction reduces unnecessary weight while shaping the instrument’s acoustic response. The result feels balanced against the body and lively beneath the hands.

Push-pull Focus Switch adds weight and presence

Pull the Master Tone control to engage Yamaha’s passive Focus Switch. It reshapes the response for a darker, more forceful character that is useful when a rhythm part or solo needs extra authority.

Five-way switching extends the two-pickup sound palette

The five-way selector provides the familiar neck, combined and bridge voices plus additional internally shaped positions. This gives the RSS02T more tonal variety than a conventional three-way, two-pickup guitar.

Carbon-reinforced neck and jumbo stainless-steel frets

The set-in three-piece mahogany neck is reinforced with carbon for dependable stability. A 12-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 jumbo stainless-steel frets support confident bends, smooth vibrato and durable performance.

Distinctive racing tailpiece with deluxe gig bag included

The Revstar racing tailpiece gives the RSS02T its unmistakable silhouette and pairs with a Tune-O-Matic bridge for precise adjustment. Yamaha also includes a deluxe gig bag for transport and everyday protection.

Q. Who is the Revstar Standard RSS02T best suited to?

It suits players who want expressive P-90-style tone, modern reliability and a distinctive stage presence. Its broad response works well for blues, alternative, indie, classic rock, punk and contemporary guitar music.

Q. Are the RSS02T pickups traditional P-90s?

They are Yamaha VP5 P-90-style single-coil pickups using Alnico V magnets. They deliver the wide midrange, articulation and lively response associated with the P-90 format.

Q. What does the Focus Switch do?

The passive push-pull Focus Switch changes the guitar’s resonant response to produce a darker, more powerful character with added presence. It does not require a battery.

Q. How does the RSS02T differ from the RSE20?

The RSS02T is a Standard-series model with P-90-style pickups, five-way switching, the Focus Switch, carbon neck reinforcement, stainless-steel frets, a maple-topped body, racing tailpiece and included deluxe gig bag. The Element-series RSE20 uses humbuckers, three-way switching and a Dry Switch.

Q. What scale length does it use?

The RSS02T uses a 24.75-inch (628.6 mm) scale length. This provides a slightly softer string feel than a typical 25.5-inch-scale guitar and suits expressive bends and vibrato.

Q. Is a case included?

Yes. Yamaha supplies the Revstar Standard RSS02T with a deluxe gig bag for storage and transport.

Q. Which finishes are available on this listing?

This listing offers Sunset Burst, Hot Merlot, Swift Blue, Black, Fired Red, Vintage White and Sonic Blue, subject to current availability. Select the preferred finish from the product options before ordering.
