Description
This is the Yamaha RSS02T in Vintage White, a slick, stripped-down workhorse for players who want straightforward tone with a little extra flexibility. This one's great for anyone gigging regularly or tracking in the studio who wants the punch of P90 pickups and the feel of a classic double-cut, without the bulk. The café-racer aesthetic is clean and timeless, and the body design is chambered for better balance and weight relief.
Under the hood, you've got a set of Alnico V single-coils that lean into that midrange growl, but clean up nicely with the volume knob. The 5-way pickup selector gives you some extra wiring tricks like out-of-phase tones, and the passive Focus Switch rounds out your tone when you want something tighter and punchier. It's a clever design that doesn't require extra knobs or onboard preamps to get a lot done.
This Vintage White finish looks sharp without being flashy, and it's paired with hardware that's made to last. The carbon-reinforced neck holds tuning really well and feels solid in hand. With jumbo stainless frets, a rosewood board, and the right curve on the neck, it's super playable without needing any tweaks. Comes with a deluxe gig bag, and we've seen these hold up great whether you're rehearsing every week or heading out for back-to-back shows.
