Yamaha RSE20BL Revstar Element

Originally launched in 2015, Revstar was the first new electric guitar series from Yamaha in over a decade. A completely new lineup for 2022 offers three tiers, chambered bodies on every model, new racing-inspired finishes, new switching options, and left-handed models.

The RSE20 features five café racer-inspired finish options, a chambered body, dual Alnico V humbuckers, and a push/pull Dry Switch high-pass filter for additional tonal versatility.

WHAT'S NEW IN THIS GENERATION

• Chambered bodies developed with Yamaha’s Acoustic Design process to enhance tone, reduce weight, and optimise balance

• Simplified three-tier lineup with choice of humbucking or P90-style pickups on Professional and Standard models

• Left-handed models available in the Standard and Element tiers

• A completely new range of café racer-inspired gloss finishes

Chambered Bodies
Every new Revstar features a chambered body designed with Yamaha’s Acoustic Design process to sculpt tone and increase resonance while reducing weight and optimising balance.

Dry Switch
Revstar Element models feature our push/pull Dry Switch high-pass filter circuit that was first introduced with the original Revstar series.
