Greggo Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/yamaha-builds-on-its-heritage-with-eight-strong-revstar-guitar-line-up-632246 These new Yamaha electric guitars look lovely and something a little different to the generic Fender / Gibson camp and seems to be one at all price points. This has caused me the first real bout of Gas in ages - that 502T series is beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I was looking at these in my local PMT on Friday. In a shop full of the usual Gibson & Fender tedium they really stood out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really tempted to go for the 420 model as that seems a good balance between price / function. I'd happily shift on my Squier Classic Vibe to fund a purchase!

[/quote] No, I didn't play any of them unfortunately as I wasn't in there very long. I think they'd be a pretty safe bet though as Yamaha quality is always good.

GarethFlatlands Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Nice, understated and classy looking. There's a few in stock at Rich Tone, I might have to have a play next time I go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Will do. Hope they have some left by the time I sell enough stuff. I am going to go to a one bass, one acoustic, one electric set up. Might take a while to get there.

BigRedX Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Just noticed the prices... What on earth makes the Bigsby version be worth two and a half times the cost of the entry level model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderpaws Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Well, the Revstar won't be happening. Just traded for a PRS Soapbar. Pick it up next week. Excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth makes the Bigsby version be worth two and a half times the cost of the entry level model? [/quote] Its hard to see exactly, but it seems the Bigsby one is made from different wood, has fancier pickups, locking tuners, different inlays, and has a fancy flamed maple top. And the Bigsby, obviously. Whether that's worth the extra money or not I don't know. Edited April 5, 2016 by uncle psychosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
