Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Yamaha’s Sonic Blue Revstar Standard RSS20 pairs a chambered mahogany body and maple top with two Alnico V humbuckers. Its five-way selector expands the available pickup voices, while pulling the tone control engages the Focus Switch for a passive boost. The 24.75-inch, three-piece mahogany neck has carbon reinforcement, a satin finish, and a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. A Tune-O-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and included gig bag make it ready to move between rehearsals, sessions, and shows.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehearsals, sessions, and shows where the included gig bag supports transport between locations.
- Players who want humbucker tones plus five-way switching and a push/pull Focus Switch.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this is a right-handed model.
