Description
The Yamaha RSS02T in Fired Red brings a little more edge to the table, visually and sonically. This one's a great fit for players who want vintage-inspired tones in a guitar that doesn't feel stuck in the past. Whether you're just stepping into your first serious instrument or looking for a reliable second guitar for the road, this model hits a sweet spot. It takes the heart of the original Revstar design and fine-tunes it for clarity, resonance, and balance.
You're working with a chambered mahogany body topped with maple, a carbon-reinforced mahogany neck, and a pair of Alnico V P90-style pickups. It gives you that raw, mid-forward tone that responds really well to picking dynamics and amp breakup. The 5-way switch gives you access to split-style tones and a touch of that "in-between" character you'd normally only get with three pickups. Flip the Focus Switch and you've got a tighter, thicker tone without needing to roll back any knobs.
The Fired Red finish is bold but still tasteful, and the satin-finished neck feels quick without being too slick. The stainless jumbo frets hold up to heavy use and the overall weight feels just right, thanks to the chambered design. It comes with a deluxe gig bag, and we've had a lot of folks come back and say it's become their go-to in both live and recording situations. It's easy to trust.
