Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS20, Swift Blue
The Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS20 blends modern innovation with vintage-inspired styling to create a versatile electric guitar built for serious performance. Inspired by the stripped-down café racer motorcycles of the 1960s, the Revstar Standard series combines sleek aesthetics with advanced engineering, resulting in an instrument that feels equally refined on stage, in the studio, or during everyday practice sessions. Its chambered maple and mahogany body enhances resonance while reducing weight, giving players a rich, balanced tone with exceptional comfort.
Equipped with dual Alnico V humbuckers, 5-way switching, and Yamaha’s innovative Focus Switch passive boost, the RSS20 offers impressive tonal flexibility across genres ranging from blues and classic rock to alternative, indie, and heavier modern styles. The carbon-reinforced 3-piece mahogany neck improves stability and sustain, while the carefully sculpted body design promotes a resonant, responsive playing experience that feels premium from the very first note.
