New Yamaha RevStar line

Weren’t they chambered with an internal balsa block just like the Les Paul Light?

I believe that may be correct. At any rate, I always wanted to check one out.

Best look yet at it was released on facebook a little bit ago. They're really going all out to market this. I like what i see, that's for sure.

I'm warming up to these quite a bit...fortunately I have no disposable income.

They do look Reverend-ish. I wonder what they'll cost.

Answering my own question:

(MSRP)
RS320 - $629
RS420 - $779
RS502 - $999
RS502T - $1,129
RS620 - $1,159
RS720B - $1,549
RS820CR - $1,549

Wow that 502T makes me feel kind of funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class.

Take 20% off for MAP, and they're still too expensive. I look forward to finding them used in 2017.

I might be getting a little preview of these in a week or two from a friend who works at Yamaha. I'll try and shoot a little video with him if we can work it out.

Please make it a big video. Want to make sure you can get into the shot.

These day I'll be shooting with two cameras and you'll need a dual monitor setup.

Oooo..I like!
Put P90s on the yellow one, and I'm sold!

Sweetwater is already selling the RevStar line (but they don’t ship till January). Hopefully this means Yamaha is finally pushing their guitars in the USA—that should encourage everybody else to keep prices down.

In the Sweetwater video the rep confirms there will be a P90 model in English racing green.

I've seen a green one with P90s and a tailpiece in one of their photos. I was like...:zoinks:

Edit: it was just a bit from a teaser shot.

I just came here to post this.

Of course the ones I like are $1k. That isn't happening.

$500 in 2017.

 

[Jbird]

looks like the top of the line ones are $999 at Sweetwaters. The other ones are around $600-$750

I want to see a carved top variant that fully bridges the obvious connection to the SG series.
