The latest Revstar guitars refine the look, sound, and feel of Yamaha's original Revstar guitar series. The RSS02T is available in four cafe racer-inspired finishes and features a custom tailpiece. Its chambered body and carbon reinforced neck were developed using Yamaha's exclusive Acoustic Design process to enhance tone, reduce weight, and ensure optimal balance without sacrificing resonance. P90 style pickups combined with a 5 position pickup selector and a passive push/pull Focus Switch, provide uncommon versatility from a two pickup guitar. A deluxe gigbag is included.

A steal of a guitar 5 of 5 customers found this review helpful

I've had my eye on this for about six months and finally pulled the trigger a couple weeks ago. First impressions: - Build quality is indeed superb. My other two guitars (Mexican Strat and Epiphone Les Paul) are in the same price range, but both feel markedly inferior to this one. Solid, well finished, and ergonomically just about perfect. - The Yamaha pickups are exceptional for stock pickups. I haven't ruled out upgrading to Sunbear or Lollar P90s down the road, but for now I've got little incentive. These things are fantastic: nice and fat like you'd expect from P90s, but with that lovely single-coil definition and treble. But never screechy. - The neck is quite thin. Having fairly small hands, I like it; others might find it off-putting. A preference thing. - The color (Swift Blue) and finish are awesome. It's a handsome guitar and adds a splash of color to my sunbursts. - The frets are quite nice, but (preference again) they're a bit jumbo for my taste. Hardly the biggest frets I've seen, but I like a lower fret profile. But the fretwork is quite good and smooth. - People like to complain about the focus switch being kind of useless, and I can see that, but with a lot of overdrive, it sounds really good. - Only real complaint on performance or quality so far is the screws on the pickups (to attach, lower, and raise). I like to play around with pickup height till I get my ideal sound. These screws are quite soft and I worry they'll be stripped (why are Phillips heads still a thing?). I think I've got them set to the height I'm looking for, but I worry about moving them any more. Anyway, it's still early days, but I'm quite pleased with this guitar. I'd been looking at a guitar with P90s for some time, and I don't think I could have done better for anything close to this price.

This guitar is awesome and worth way more than $1000.00. Everyone should have at least one guitar with P90's. I recommend this one.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
