Yamaha RSS20 Revstar Electric Guitar - Mist Green | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Yamaha RSS20 Revstar Standard electric guitar delivers professional-grade tone and versatility in a striking Mist Green finish. This chambered maple and mahogany guitar features dual Alnico V humbucking pickups with 5-way switching and Yamaha's innovative Focus Switch, providing tonal flexibility from vintage warmth to modern aggression. Designed for intermediate to professional players, the RSS20 combines lightweight comfort with the rich sustain and dynamic response demanded by serious musicians across all genres.

Product Overview

The RSS20 showcases a chambered mahogany body topped with flame maple, creating an ideal balance between tonal warmth and articulate clarity while significantly reducing overall weight. The chambered design enhances acoustic resonance and natural sustain, allowing the guitar to breathe and respond dynamically to your playing touch. The Mist Green finish with black pickguard creates a sophisticated aesthetic that stands out on any stage.

The three-piece carbon-reinforced mahogany neck provides exceptional stability and improved vibration transfer from strings to body. The rosewood fingerboard features a comfortable 12-inch radius and 22 jumbo stainless steel frets that facilitate smooth bending and accurate intonation across the entire neck. With a medium profile measuring 21mm at the first fret, the set-neck construction offers excellent upper-fret access and sustain that rivals guitars at much higher price points.

Yamaha's custom VH5 Alnico V humbucking pickups deliver powerful output with exceptional clarity and note definition. The neck pickup provides warm, balanced tones perfect for jazz and blues, while the bridge pickup offers aggressive bite for rock and metal applications. The 5-way selector switch includes positions 2 and 4 with subtle phase shifting that creates fresh interpretations of classic in-between tones, making this Yamaha electric guitar from Idaho Falls remarkably versatile for any musical style.

Ideal For

• Rock and metal guitarists seeking powerful humbucker tones with enhanced midrange punch and sustain
• Versatile players who perform across multiple genres and need quick tonal changes between songs
• Blues and jazz musicians who value warm neck pickup tones and the ability to dial in vintage-inspired sounds
• Intermediate players upgrading to a professional-quality instrument with advanced tonal controls

Key Features

Chambered Body with Acoustic Design

The mahogany body features strategically placed internal chambers that reduce weight while enhancing the guitar's natural acoustic properties. Combined with the maple top, this construction method produces complex overtones and improved resonance that adds depth and dimension to both clean and distorted tones.

Focus Switch Passive Boost

The push-pull function on the master tone control activates Yamaha's Focus Switch, which reshapes the pickup's resonant frequency to simulate overwound pickups. This passive boost darkens the high frequencies while increasing midrange and low-end presence, delivering an aggressive character perfect for heavy rhythm playing or cutting lead tones without requiring external pedals.

VH5 Alnico V Humbucking Pickups

These custom Yamaha humbuckers utilize Alnico V magnets for enhanced output and tonal clarity compared to traditional Alnico II pickups. The VH5n neck pickup delivers smooth, vocal-like lead tones, while the VH5b bridge pickup provides tight bass response and articulate highs. Both pickups maintain excellent note separation even under high-gain settings.

5-Way Switching with Phase Shift

Unlike traditional 3-way humbucker switching, the RSS20's 5-way selector provides positions 2 and 4 with subtle phase shifting that creates unique in-between tones. These positions offer Stratocaster-like clarity while retaining humbucker thickness, expanding your tonal palette for rhythm playing and adding texture to lead passages.

Carbon-Reinforced Set Neck Construction

The three-piece mahogany neck incorporates carbon fiber reinforcement that dramatically improves stability across temperature and humidity changes while enhancing vibration transfer. The set-neck joint provides superior sustain and smooth access to all 22 frets, with jumbo stainless steel fret wire that resists wear and maintains consistent playability for years.
