Yamaha RSS20 Revstar Standard Electric Guitar - Sonic Blue | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Yamaha RSS20 Revstar Standard electric guitar combines retro-inspired aesthetics with modern performance features in a striking Sonic Blue finish. This chambered solidbody guitar delivers bright, punchy tones through dual Yamaha VH5 humbucking pickups and a proprietary focus switch that enhances tonal versatility. Designed for intermediate to professional players, the RSS20 offers exceptional playability and reliability across multiple musical styles.

Product Overview

The RSS20 features a lightweight chambered mahogany body topped with figured maple, finished in eye-catching Sonic Blue gloss polyurethane. This construction reduces weight without sacrificing resonance, making it ideal for extended playing sessions. The chambered design enhances acoustic properties while the maple top adds brightness and visual appeal to this distinctive double-cutaway solidbody.

The 24.75-inch scale length neck is crafted from three-piece carbon-reinforced mahogany with a set neck joint, ensuring exceptional stability and sustain. A 12-inch radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 jumbo stainless steel frets provides a smooth, modern feel with excellent upper fret access. The Revstar neck profile balances comfort with speed, accommodating various playing techniques from rhythm work to lead passages.

Yamaha VH5 humbucking pickups deliver the RSS20's sonic character—rich, bright tones with impressive clarity across the frequency spectrum. The innovative focus switch alters the resonant frequency of your tone and increases output power, providing a significant tonal shift beyond standard coil-splitting. Combined with a 5-way blade pickup selector and push/pull tone control, this guitar offers remarkable versatility from clean articulation to aggressive overdriven sounds.

• Studio musicians who need a reliable instrument with unique sonic characteristics
• Gigging guitarists requiring lightweight comfort and road-worthy construction
