Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS20 Electric Guitar - Black | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Yamaha Revstar Standard RSS20 is a refined, high-performance electric guitar built for players who want explosive tone, modern playability, and striking visuals in a single package — available now at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls. Its lightweight chambered mahogany body with maple top, carbon-reinforced neck, and dual Yamaha VH5 Alnico V humbuckers deliver a bright, punchy, and versatile sonic character that performs confidently across virtually any style or genre. Whether you're tracking in the studio or tearing through a live set, the RSS20 sets a high bar for what a production electric guitar can do at its price point.

Product Overview

The RSS20 is built around a chambered mahogany body with a maple top — a combination that delivers the warm midrange resonance of mahogany while the chambering keeps the overall weight manageable and adds a touch of acoustic openness to the tone. The maple top contributes brightness and definition, producing a balanced tonal profile that sits naturally in a full-band mix. The body is finished in gloss polyurethane black — a sleek, bold look that matches the guitar's performance-focused character. At 8.20 lbs., the RSS20 carries the substantial feel of a quality solidbody without becoming burdensome over a long set.

The 3-piece carbon-reinforced mahogany set neck is one of the RSS20's most distinctive engineering details. The carbon reinforcement keeps the neck stable and straight in fluctuating temperature and humidity conditions — a genuine performance advantage for touring and gigging musicians. Carved into Yamaha's Revstar neck profile and joined to the body with a set neck joint, it provides the resonance transfer and sustain benefits of a glued connection while the double-cutaway body shape ensures clear, comfortable access to all 22 frets. The rosewood fingerboard features a 12-inch radius, pearloid line inlays, and jumbo stainless steel frets — stainless offering dramatically improved wear resistance compared to nickel frets, a meaningful long-term value for heavy players.

Electronically, the RSS20 is loaded with Yamaha's VH5n (neck) and VH5b (bridge) Alnico V humbuckers, delivering a rich, bright, punchy character that handles everything from clean rhythm tones to high-gain leads without losing definition. A 5-way blade switch provides standard and split-coil pickup combinations, while the master tone control incorporates Yamaha's proprietary push/pull "Focus" switch — engaging it shifts the pickup's resonant frequency and increases output power, effectively giving the player a second voice from each pickup position. It's a simple but genuinely useful feature for players who want more tonal flexibility without adding pedals.

Ideal For

  • Rock, blues, and hard rock players seeking a best Yamaha Revstar electric guitar with bright humbucker tone and modern playability
  • Intermediate to advanced guitarists who want jumbo stainless steel frets and a carbon-reinforced neck for long-term durability and stability
  • Gigging and touring musicians who need a lightweight, road-reliable instrument that stays in tune and in adjustment across changing environments
  • Tone explorers who want versatile pickup switching and Yamaha's Focus switch to access a wider tonal range from a single guitar
  • Players upgrading from entry-level instruments looking for professional-grade appointments and build quality at an accessible price

Key Features

Chambered Mahogany Body with Maple Top The lightweight chambered mahogany construction keeps the RSS20 comfortable and resonant, while the maple top adds brightness and upper-midrange definition — producing a balanced, versatile tonal foundation that suits a wide range of playing styles and amplifier types.

3-Piece Carbon-Reinforced Mahogany Set Neck Yamaha's carbon reinforcement within the mahogany neck keeps it stable and straight under environmental stress, making this an especially reliable choice for players who gig regularly or travel with their instrument.

Yamaha VH5 Alnico V Humbuckers Neck and bridge VH5 pickups use Alnico V magnets to deliver a rich, articulate humbucker voice — bright and punchy without sacrificing warmth, and clean enough at lower gains to read well in clean and lightly driven contexts.

Focus Switch The push/pull Focus switch built into the master tone control shifts the pickup's resonant frequency and boosts output power, giving players instant access to a more aggressive, cutting tone without any external boost pedal required.

Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets Stainless steel frets offer significantly greater wear resistance than standard nickel frets, maintaining their feel and playability far longer — a practical long-term advantage for players who spend serious time on the instrument.

5-Way Blade Switching The 5-way blade switch expands beyond traditional 3-way humbucker switching, providing additional pickup combinations — including coil-split voices — that extend the RSS20's tonal range into single-coil territory when needed.
