Hot or Not? yamaha revstar

[sleewell]

thinking I might buy one, heard nothing but good things

They are pretty cool. I think I liked the p90 one the most:

I’d like to try one. But the local Yamaha dealer is a mom-and-pop has no inventory and all the employees do is smoke pot and lean on the counter, so…

The finding of the style is to be pleasant for me.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

I bought my Ibanez Artist before those made it to stores. But I was interested.

What does the dry switch do?

Yep, I've only tried one, but it was a great instrument for the 700.?? pricetag. If I was to buy a solid body guitar in that range that would be the one.

cool demo. just looking for a straight ahead rock machine - would it be a good fit? also considering a reverend sensie ra.

Nice enough, but heavy as hell.

I was in the market for something like that, but bought a Sensei Jr.

 

[BlockInlay]

They certainly look very cool

 

[Guitar Heel]

super hot, but the inevitably-thin neck would assuredly kill them for me.

Those are nice -- stylewise, they really hearken back to the old 80s "SG" series Yamahas that killed the contemporary Gibsons in the quality-control category. I'd sure be interested in checking one out. I am a bit surprised, however, that they don't offer one with a carved maple top. I believe they are all flattops.

I wouldn't put one ahead of the other. I think they are fairly well matched and it's more about personal preference between the two.

I haven't seen one in person or played one, but they look great. And I've never owned a bad Yammie.

I played the whole line at NAMM. They're really damn heavy, play well, but the pickups were underwhelming.

I liked the P90 one too.

 

[Chad]

I like the looks of them.

 

[LeftyTom]

I like the idea.

 

[sleewell]

thanks for all the input.

we only play 30-45 min sets so weight isn't a deal breaker for me. swapping pickups is not ideal but also not the end of the world.

but the reverend sensie ra I played recently seemed perfect bone stock so its a toss up until I play the revstar. the reverend was light and I loved the pickups. that bass contour knob was handy too. prices are pretty similar.

TV Yellow looks good.
