Description
The Yamaha RSS02T in Sonic Blue is built for players who want classic feel with a fresh, modern twist. With its café-racer visual vibe and stripped-down functionality, this model is ideal for intermediate to pro-level players who need versatility without complication. That wraparound tailpiece isn't just for show; it's part of the whole design that keeps things resonant, light, and balanced thanks to Yamaha's chambered body construction and carbon-reinforced neck.
You're working with a maple top on a mahogany body, and a set of Alnico V P90-style pickups that get you everything from clean chime to gritty bark. The 5-way selector gives you more tonal range than you'd expect from a two-pickup layout, and the push/pull Focus Switch adds a passive EQ curve that tightens things up when you need it. Whether you're recording clean lines or pushing a small amp into breakup, this thing holds its ground.
It plays smooth right out of the case. The rosewood board and satin neck make it easy to get around, and the stainless frets give it some real life for the long haul. The Sonic Blue finish is sharp without being loud. Comes with a deluxe gig bag, and we've had nothing but great feedback on how well these hold up. You won't be chasing tuning issues or fighting it on stage.
