Product Overview
The RSS02T showcases a chambered mahogany body with a striking maple top that reduces weight while enhancing natural resonance and acoustic complexity. The lightweight design makes this guitar comfortable for extended playing sessions without sacrificing the tonal warmth and sustain that mahogany is known for.

The three-piece carbon-reinforced mahogany neck delivers exceptional stability and remains straight and true even in challenging temperature and humidity conditions. The rosewood fingerboard features a comfortable 12-inch radius and 22 jumbo stainless steel frets that facilitate effortless string bending and precise intonation across all registers. With a medium profile measuring 21mm at the first fret and 24mm at the twelfth fret, the set-neck construction provides smooth access to upper frets and superior sustain that enhances every note.
Yamaha's custom VP5 Alnico V P-90 pickups deliver classic single-coil clarity with enhanced output and improved noise rejection compared to vintage P-90 designs. The neck pickup produces warm, round tones perfect for jazz chording and bluesy leads, while the bridge pickup offers cutting midrange bite that slices through any mix. The innovative push-pull Focus Switch shifts the resonant frequency to supercharge your pickup's power, making this Yamaha electric guitar from Idaho Falls exceptionally versatile across musical styles.

Key Features
Chambered Mahogany Body Construction
The mahogany body features strategically designed internal chambers that significantly reduce overall weight while enhancing the guitar's natural acoustic resonance. Combined with the maple top, this construction delivers balanced frequency response with warm low-end, present midrange, and articulate high frequencies that bring out the best in P-90 pickups.
Focus Switch Technology
Yamaha's proprietary push-pull Focus Switch on the master tone control shifts the pickup's resonant frequency without requiring batteries or active electronics. Engage the switch to supercharge the VP5 pickups for tighter, more focused tone with enhanced presence and attack, or disengage for warmer, fuller sounds with increased low-mid content perfect for rhythm playing.
VP5 Alnico V P-90 Pickups
These custom Yamaha pickups deliver classic P-90 character with improved clarity and reduced hum compared to vintage designs. The Alnico V magnets provide enhanced output and definition while maintaining the raw, expressive dynamics that make P-90s beloved by players. Both pickups offer excellent note separation whether playing clean jazz chords or heavily distorted power chords.
Carbon-Reinforced Set Neck
The three-piece mahogany neck incorporates carbon fiber reinforcement for superior stability that maintains consistent playability across temperature and humidity changes. This set-neck design enhances sustain and vibration transfer while providing comfortable access to all 22 jumbo stainless steel frets, making complex lead playing and extended chording effortless.
Premium Hardware and Components
The Tune-O-Matic bridge with racing-style tailpiece ensures precise intonation adjustments and excellent string-to-body vibration transfer for maximum sustain. Chrome-plated die-cast tuners provide smooth, accurate tuning with exceptional stability even during aggressive playing.
