I had high hopes for this guitar... I'd tried a Blaggard at Richard's whilst testing some acoustics and ended up deciding to get that instead. It's fair to say it was a long, long wait, but like all good things... It's already become the best playing guitar in my collection - lightweight, so comfortable to play, stonking pickups. I LOVE everything about it - so much so that I've just ordered a second one in antique cherry red (with all the Blaggard trimmings). Plays and feels like a F**der Custom but for 1/2 the cost. No brainer.
This Yamaha Revstar guitar is supplied with the custom pro setup package worth £225 which I highly recommend you read about.

- Chambered maple and mahogany body
- Carbon-reinforced 3-piece mahogany neck
- 2 Alnico V humbucking pickups
- 5-Position pickup selector

- Deluxe gig bag included
CHAMBERED BODY WITH ACOUSTIC DESIGN
Revstar Standard guitars feature chambered bodies designed to sculpt tone and reduce weight, with carbon reinforcement in the neck to improve vibration transfer.
5-WAY SWITCHING
With the same 5-way switching as Revstar Professional, the subtle phase shift on positions 2 and 4 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.
CHOICE OF PICKUPS
RSS20 and RSS20L feature humbuckers, and RSS02T offers P90-style single-coils. All pickups are custom designed by Yamaha and use Alnico V magnets for powerful tone.
LEFT-HANDED AVAILABLE
The RSS20L is available in two finishes: Black and Swift Blue.

I have not had chance to really try the Yamaha Revstar out yet as I have not accepted the guitar which was sent to me because of its condition. The marks on the back of the guitar were unacceptable bearing in mind it was supposed to be a new guitar. When or if I get the guitar I ordered then I will test the guitar properly. Really disappointed with the ordering process and the so called action by Yamaha
EDIT - Follow up...
I sent this initial reply to you at around 9.30pm?
I forwarded my feelings to my account manager and he has already replied (received at 10.10pm!) . He has passed on his sincerest apologies to me - and has promised to deal with this urgently tomorrow. I have told him that you may, hopefully be open to allowing me to make this up to you - so I hope can.
I wanted to update you on this to show you - we do all care and most importantly - are very sorry.

Hi Christopher.
Let me say first of all - the service we have received on our opening order with Yamaha (of which you have been the 'victim') has been utterly appauling.
Promises of guitars that dont then arrive - deliveries that then dont arrive - I have literally NO idea what they are playing at.
Revstar was my reason for opening the Yamaha account (also they own Line 6 and I wanted the amps) and to think my VERY FIRST EVER Revstar has been so poorly handled is an absolute, total travesty and not a great advert for Yamaha - and I have forwarded your review to my account manager.
I am more concerned right now about you - doing whatever I can to help - to ensure that you do receive a totally perfect example.
I will personally inspect your guitar on its return and send you a follow up of whether the issue you have found is something I would or wouldnt expect on a guitar of this price. It is very hard to tell from close up pictures and presuming the white I can see is reflection?
It does however look poorly cut out with gapping around the back plate - so I am very sorry if you were not happy and we are here to resolve this.
I will find out what on Earth is going on - and if you will let me - I proise you faithfully I will not be happy until I have made this up to you and more.
Please dont lose the faith in me - even if you are feeling let down at this moment.

A fantastic guitar to play and a tone to stop an elephant in it tracks.
