YAMAHA REVSTAR RSE20NYW

A NEW GENERATION

The original Revstar guitars launched in 2015—our first new electric guitar series in more than a decade. A completely refreshed lineup was introduced in 2022.

MUSIC AND MOTORS

The Revstar style is inspired by café racer motorcycles—stripped-down performance machines that were customized to reflect the personality of their riders.

MODERN. CLASSIC.

Revstar balances Japanese innovation and traditional artisanship. Modern features enhance playability, versatility, and tone, while the design references classic Yamaha electric guitars going back to 1966.

HANKO MARK

Used in place of a signature in Japan, the hanko stamp on every Revstar guitar is our seal of approval. Element and Standard models feature the “Revstar” hanko, while the stamp on Professional models signifies “Made in Japan.”

CHAMBERED BODY WITH ACOUSTIC DESIGN

Revstar Element guitars feature chambered bodies designed to sculpt tone and reduce weight, providing a clear, full sound and comfortable playing experience.

DRY SWITCH

The push/pull Tone control activates the Dry Switch high-pass filter for brighter tones without the added noise or power drop of conventional coil splits.

LEFT-HANDED AVAILABLE

The RSE20L is available in two finishes: Black and Swift Blue.

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.

• 5 Café racer inspired finishes
• Chambered mahogany body
• Mahogany neck
