    Chris Buck is the man, I’ve been playing guitar a long time I’m pushing 70 and I’ve heard a lot of great guitar players but this kid has an ear for what it’s supposed to sound like. love his stuff he’s the reason I’ve even considered buying one of these guitars. And over the years I’ve had a lot of really good guitars searching for a specific tone I realize it’s in your fingers but you still have to have the right combination I am truly impressed thanks for the video.

    Got as RS502 last year. I'm a tele guy, but when I want some growl, the Yamaha P90s hit the spot without the muddiness of a humbucker. The natural sustain on Revstars is astonishing, and the tap makes quite a difference when exploring tones. The frets and finish are professional smooth - to me, the guitar is easily worth twice the retail value.

Great explanation of the whole lineup along with honest feedback from Lee. And, holy smokes, Danish Pete and Chris Buck just killin’ it. CB is one of the greats of his age but Pete has such a sneaky, mischievous attack to go with his outstanding chops that he has become one of my faves as well. Well done all around.

    When he says "delay" he really means phase-shifting. I have a similar circuit in an old Yamaha AES800. If you get the pickups completely out of phase the signal cancels out and you get zero output. It's pretty cool. I use it for sound shaping. So you have your volume, tone, and phase shift which is essentialy a second tone control.

    I had a Revstar RS720B, the bigsby model with humbuckers and locking tuners. Excellent craftsmanship but heavy like an LP. I think the previous line had the dry switch standard across all models. I found the dry switch super useful in cutting some bass and lowering output slightly to give me a brighter tone, as I prefer P-90 sounds. I could not get the bigsby to stay in tune.
    I'm digging this line. I would definitely miss the dry switch in the standard and professional models. The focus switch seems to add bass and saturation, similar to a boost pedal, so it would be useful in soloing but maybe not so much in chords. The body being chambered and larger is an improvement over the previous line. SG-style guitars are notorious for neck dive and the older models were no exception, especially with the locking tuners. They didn't mention locking tuners at all in this video so I'm assuming they did away with them. You can also see that the upper horn is slightly more elongated, so that would help with balance. I think the lighter weight, satin neck, and increased resonance overshadow what few compromises were made. I'd probably be very interested in these if I didn't already have an LP and a Reverend with P-90s. :)

      @@mr.mcmagpie6606 I really liked them, and I certainly wouldn’t mind owning one. They are probably a bit guilty of over-hyping a guitar that doesn’t need over-hyping. Lee point blank asked him what the difference was between the standard and the pro, and it seemed to me like the rep was really struggling to have any answer that could justify the vast chasm in price between the two. It left me thinking that Yamaha’s marketing department went, “The guitars that sell most are usually in *this* price for budget level, *this* price for intermediate, and *this* price for something more premium. Let’s make a guitar in each price so we hit all the demographics.” But, they tried to save money (in my opinion) by making them all basically the same with only a couple of minor (and inexpensive) feature differences. The Captain called them out on it, and it looked like the rep knew he was right.

    I love my RS620, it replaced my ‘91 GLPC Black Beauty. I loved that guitar too, but with a couple of tweaks, the Yamaha did exactly the same thing only with belly and arm cuts and slightly better higher fret access. It was also a 6th of the price which meant that I could use the extra cash freed up from the sale of the LP for some (boring, but essential) home repairs..rock and roll. Chris Buck is the ideal performer to champion the Revstar range - a truly contemporary, consummately skilled artist. I saw him play last with Cardinal Black at The Patriot bar in Crumlin. They blew the roof off! Previously I’ve seen him with Buck & Evans at Steelhouse Festival and once again it was obvious what a talent he is. Now, the question is: “Do I need the P90 modelđŸ€”?”

    These have taken a year to grow on me visually. They’re different enough to be interesting, and obviously great guitars, but it wasn’t till I picked one up recently in a shop and played it, I realised how much better than all my previous guitars (in the £400- £600 range) it felt.

    • @OneWomanMoreGuitars
      @OneWomanMoreGuitars Pƙed 2 lety +4

      Overall I agree but they all need 1-2 hours of work when you get them. I got a few of the new classic vibe and a Sire H7 . All the fretboards were dried out (the rosewood ones), the frets needed serious polishing, the fret ends needed polishing and shaping and they all needed new strings. So for someone like me that expects to do a little work and end up with a fantastic playing and sounding guitar, they are great. But for someone who expects they will play well out of the box or a beginner, they may be disappointed and will need to spend an extra $100-$200 to get them in top playing condition. Just my experience and opinion.

      I think the guy demoing i had a weird EQ setting on his amp or tone knob setting on an overdrive pedal. Or just a unique drive pedal of some kind. Most other demos of the focus switch don’t sound anything like that at all, and well, in real life when I play my own I can attest to that. Check out some other vids.
