Yamaha Revstar RSS20 Black

This guitar is absolutely extraordinary, and the fact that it’s available at this price point is astonishing. To me, the feel is closer to a Les Paul, but it offers far more versatility. For example, last weekend I played it at an anniversary gig with my old death metal band from my teenage years, and it handled high-gain tones effortlessly.

While it’s not a heavy guitar, it’s also not super light. Ergonomically, it’s well-balanced, but if you prefer playing with the guitar positioned slightly higher on your body (the proper position), the edge might press against your picking arm slightly. The neck is comfortable yet substantial—not designed for virtuosity but offering a unique sense of stability and precise control.

What truly makes this guitar stand out is its ability to inspire creativity through its versatile tones and almost academic feel. I believe any guitarist would be delighted to own this instrument, as it surprises with its tone and versatility in every situation.

Special thanks to Thomann for delivering the guitar impeccably, even during the busy holiday season!
