Yamaha Revstar RSS20 (Hot Merlot) — a six-string electric guitar with a HH pickup layout, a 24.75" (628.6 mm) scale and 22 frets. It combines a fixed bridge system with a passive Focus Switch. The Hot Merlot finish complements the instrument’s distinctive proportions.
Body and construction
Body materials: Top: Maple / Back: Chambered Mahogany. Internal body chambers are part of this generation of Revstar construction. The double cutaway provides access to the upper fingerboard, while the set-in neck forms a continuous structural connection with the body.
Neck, scale and frets
Neck: 3-Piece Mahogany, Carbon Reinforcement. Fingerboard: Rosewood. The scale measures 24.75" (628.6 mm) and the fingerboard radius is 12" (304.8 mm). There are 22 Jumbo Stainless steel frets. Neck widths at the nut and 12th fret are 41.9 / 52.0 mm. These dimensions help you compare string spacing and the transition from open chords to higher lead positions.
Stainless steel frets provide a durable playing surface for bends and vibrato. Carbon reinforcement complements the three-piece neck construction.
Pickups and controls
Two humbuckers occupy the neck and bridge positions. Use them separately or together to move between a rounder neck sound and a more defined bridge attack.
Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone (Push-Pull "Focus Switch"). Selector: 5-Position Lever Switch.
The push-pull Focus Switch passively changes the pickup resonance for a fuller midrange character. Five-way switching also provides intermediate combinations for different textures. The Focus Switch requires no battery and does not operate as a coil split.
Bridge and tuning hardware
Bridge: Tune-O-Matic. Tailpiece: Stopbar. Tuners: Die-Cast. The fixed system suits playing without a vibrato arm. It provides direct adjustment of string height and intonation for the chosen string gauge and tuning.
Playing applications and accessories
The guitar supports clean accompaniment, crunch and more saturated driven sounds. Choose settings that suit your picking dynamics and playing volume. Explore guitar effects for additional textures and instrument and patch cables for connecting other equipment.
For practice and performance, choose from guitar amplifiers. Select spare strings with the factory gauge in mind: Elixir Nanoweb Light / 0.010-0.046. Included protection: Gig Bag.
