Description
YAMAHA RSS20L BL 2023
Yamaha's "REVSTAR" series is an electric guitar line announced by Yamaha in 2015, marking the company's first completely new design series in approximately 20 years. The design and design philosophy reflect Japanese café racer culture (particularly London's bike culture from the 1960s-70s), industrial design, and the needs of contemporary players.
This time we have received the left-handed model "RSS20L BL" from the standard series "RSS20"! Manufactured in 2023, with a weight of 3.89kg.
Features a café racer-inspired color finish, maple & mahogany body with chambering, 3-piece mahogany neck with carbon fiber insert, and rosewood fretboard. Based on Yamaha's acoustic analysis process "Acoustic Design," chambering has been applied to achieve rich resonance and body weight reduction. Furthermore, the insertion of carbon material in the neck improves rigidity and tonal quality.
Equipped with two of Yamaha's proprietary-developed humbucker pickups "VH5," characterized by a powerful tone from Alnico V magnets.
Controls consist of a 5-position selector, volume, and tone. At selector positions 2 and 4, you can achieve a sound similar to the half-tone of a conventional 3 single-coil guitar without volume loss.
The focus switch (push/pull of the tone knob) produces an effect similar to increasing the pickup winding, allowing for aggressive tonal changes that emphasize the mid-bass range.
A gig bag for transportation is included.
