I really like your video style (a lack of heavy metal background music and lame stand up comedy). You inspired me to take a 160$ Harley Benton and strip it, then spray bomb paint it, then mod the electrics with a dual humbucker stereo out put system. Its crazy but even with a collection of guitars, a few hitting $3K, this has become my daily player. Thanks. 👍
Wow! Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. Enjoy your guitar!
Sounds like "focus" means "sounds like a humbucker---nice and MUDDY." My Charvel Model 4 has the same boost circuit to make single coils thicker. it sucks dog penis.
I ordered one in surf green
Sweet! I’m sure you’ll love it
Hey . Just came upon your page. Greetings from Australia. Way on Down South. I just bought a 15G for $120AU, equivalent to your $52us. I gotta pick it up. Nice review. Gives me some relevant expectations for my cheaper generic Op. Shop Telecaster I got last week. See wot happens. Cheers🎉
Hello and thank you for watching and commenting! It’s so cool that you are on the other side of the Earth and yet we can connect through RUclips. I hope you enjoy the amp and Guitar!
@Mattguitarmania . Yes thanks. The amp circuit board is a lot more set into the cabinet interior, rather snug.so I wasn't going to Jam a crowbar into it. Plugging my guitar in ,the thing just crackled and cried..So I got a can of contact cleaner into all the pots and the guitar pots too. Alot quieter. But the Drive setting is a wailer😅. Ok on clean . It'll do for a while while I get my hands working on guitar work. Cheers
That’s good to hear! Thanks so much for watching and interacting with my video
Yeah, but it's still so... well... BLUE. I have one and I'm starting to detest it. I'm at the point where I don't want to open the case and see that Papa Smurf blue staring back at me. Yamaha really shot itself in the foot with the colors. Seriously, hot merlot? Neon yellow? Flash green? Swift blue? The best color is the metallic red and they don't even offer that in the US.
Thanks for your opinions. I really like the blue and the hot Merlot
Good evening, Matt. I hope you're having a wonderful day. I'm thinking of buying one of these pickguards. Do you recommend them? It looks like a fantastic deal, I'm curious, but I also don't know how the wiring/selector switch works on this. Some people are saying that pickups are microphonic, are they any good? Any tips would be much appreciated.
My personal opinion is that these are a phenomenal deal and I have used this Guitar many times on stage at church and in a local club. The pick ups can be microphonic but turning them down a little bit helps. The difficult part is if you need to transfer the electronics to a pickguard that matches your guitar, like I had to do. If you are able to directly install this pickguard on your guitar, I think there are only two or three wires to solder together. It’s assembled and ready to go besides two ground wires and one white wire. I hope this helps!
Here is a link to my full demo of this pickguard on my “Monster Strat” Why my cheapest guitar 🎸 is my favorite! 😃 #cheapguitars #gibson #fender #ibanez ruclips.net/video/O3Dhvt1uqNc/видео.html
@@Mattguitarmania Hello Matt. I forgot to mention that I gave in and bought it, I think it'll arrive in 2 days. But I wanna know something, do these coil splits cancel hum in positions 2 and 4? Is it possible to have it with this config? Thank you and have a great day.
@longstandingsolitude I really don’t know if they cancel hum. But I don’t have any problems with them in single or humbucker mode. Thanks!
The problem with these is that the Earlier ones (Fender seems to have started making them again with some Packs) ....the made in china and made in Indonesia old ones lot of bad batches were made of these and the 15R
Thanks for sharing that insight. I’ve only owned this one and another one a few years ago and both seemed fine, but I guess you never know if you’ll get a bad one.
Good work
Thank you!
Don't quit please 🥺🥺🥺😢😢
Hahaha I won’t! Thanks!
Focus switch sounds like it’s mis-wired. Mine sounds way better when deployed
I don’t know, this is how it came from the factory. But either way, I’m learning to like it more, having learned from several viewers how to best utilize it
She’s a beaut!
Thanks pal!!😃
I own that exact guitar, as well as a black one I replaced the humbuckers with Lace Chrome Alumitone pickups.Removed the electronics, replaced the volume pot with a push pull coil split and installed a 3 way switch...Amazing!!!!
Sweet!! That sounds like a great setup
Good to see you taking a cheap guitar and making it yours. I never buy the name brand guitars. I would rather mod them how I want. Good video!
Thank you! I agree😄 I think you’d like this video Why my cheapest guitar 🎸 is my favorite! 😃 #cheapguitars #gibson #fender #ibanez ruclips.net/video/O3Dhvt1uqNc/видео.html
You really need to look at Harley Benton.
Great point! I do keep an eye on their prices, but the shipping costs always bum me out so I haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Is there a particular model you think is an exceptional deal?
@@Mattguitarmania In general HB's over $250 are the better buys and the better choice. I have several. The Sc550e II deluxe, now that's a total winner.
Sweet! Thanks again! I appreciate you watching and commenting
thx, i make my mind with this video! i gonna get hollow body guitar ❤❤❤
btw, how did you control guitar feedback. sir?
This guitar doesn’t really produce feedback too often, unless I stand right in front of the speaker. Thanks for watching!
@anatmanspitama Thank you!
Bake the kitty oh
?
How do you find good deals on new and used guitars? 😊
Hard to put down a guitar with that many tone possibilities over the focus switch. That mud switch has it uses might just not be for you. If not don’t Pull it still has plenty of possibilities and sound great.
I agree! I’ve learned to appreciate it more since making this video a few months ago. I posted a video about my change of mind on the channel Thanks for your input!
@@Mattguitarmania anytime If for nothing else I feel the revstar is one of the only guitars not trying to copy someone else like fender or Gibson. Yamaha has it own shape and tone. I really think at some point they will be a “classic” guitar.
Great point!
I really want one of these. Currently I own the boss mini and I love it for a practice amp. My main amp is a 70s HH , which is quite good, but I would love to also have this haha
I’ve had this for about six months and the more I use it the more I like it. It’s very versatile and fairly easy to work with
Fender frontman 10g jave better overdrive
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks! As a lefty, this is such a great product! We rarely get more than one or two choices of color. I know how to sand and paint, but it's a lot of work and expense.
Thanks for chiming in!
I bought one on eBay ripped out the electronics and replaced them with Gibson p-90 and Gibson tone circuit. Gotoh tuners, bone nut, Wilkinson bridge. Now it’s a LP jr.
I bet that sounds great!
If you have a sound guy,fire him.
Thanks! I will fire myself right now
@@Mattguitarmania sorry buddy,just couldn't hear you talk over the music!
No worries my man, I don’t take it personally. I can use constructive criticism to better my future videos. Thanks for watching!
@@Mattguitarmania I'll definitely keep watching.
@nicholashunter8638 thanks dude, I appreciate the support! I do appreciate the feedback and I hope you didn’t mind my smart ass response. I wasn’t angry, I just really enjoy being a smart ass! Thanks again!
where is part 2? I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to buy a $600 les paul, of just buy a cheap strat and improve it for home recording. I want studio quality recording though; what would you recommend?
Hey buddy, thanks for watching and for your questions! It’s really up to you but I don’t believe you have to buy the most expensive guitar to get the best sound. I own about 9 Electric guitars and none are big name, except for a couple Yamahas, and they’re not very expensive either I’d suggest buying something that you enjoy playing and the tones you get from it. You can always upgrade pickups if needed
I have an actual 1992 Gibson LPJ with a single P90 (double cut) and I have struggled with it over the years, but I had it set up with 12s on it (Ernie Ball Mammoths) and I got it set up on my amp correctly and I like it a whole lot more now.
Cool! That sounds like really thick strings 😳 Glad you’re enjoying it more!
Glued a neck on one of theses and added p90…sings
Cool!!
@@Mattguitarmania used three dowels too
I’ve never done that, it sounds like a very detailed process. How did it turn out?
@@Mattguitarmania got a better guitar for cheap
The cheap RSS is your most expansive guitar? Sub 1k new!? Thats your most expensive guitar?! Jeez man.
Yep! I don’t spend thousands but I do get the best I can for the least money. Proud cheapskate!
Just bought one just like yours on Craigslist for $50. Actually I have three now. Two tobacco burst and the black one. One of them has a p90. I love em.
Sweet! They’re great Rock machines!
Excellent video 👍😎🍺
Thank you very much! That is very kind of you
Good luck
Thanks
Make the video
Thank you very much! It’s been about five months since I made the original video. I’ll have to go back and find a way to make the video showing how to install this system. Thank you so much for your feedback!
Rubish
Why you didn't use knifeless tape?
Good question! This was my first attempt so I was very inexperienced. But if I do it again I will definitely use knifeless tape. Thank you!
@@Mattguitarmania I watched videos where "S" ibanez bases were been wrapped. First it starts whole from bottom to top. And then from top to bottom.
If you have a link to those videos, please post it here. I looked but could not find anybody wrapping the entire Guitar body
Just picked one up, love it
Sweet!
In the right hands any guitar can sound good. Put some sort of blaster strings on. But, I agree, Squiers can feel like balsa wood - just an opinion from this Master Trim Carpenter. But played right, you could pass the audition. And I'd rather play through a good tube amp anyway. Wish I hadn't sold mine a long time ago
Yep, I agree, thank you!
I think the focus switch is a misleading name. It changes tone, but it's a passive boost and a few extra dB is a good thing actually but not for a clean, slightly pushed fender-like amps, they need full frequency range to sound fendery. And in case of P90 it good to back up the volume a little bit too. 5-way switch and slightly out of phase pos. 2 & 4 are great idea too.
Agreed! I’ve learned a lot from some great viewers since making this video! I changed my mind: I WAS WRONG about the Yamaha Revstar Focus Switch! #revstar #yamaha #guitar ruclips.net/user/shortsg6s_EosLe58?feature=share
Thanks for shouting us out Matt! Just operating on the golden rule :) can't wait for the review!
Thanks Kelby! I agree with you, that’s the best way to operate. You’re the man, thank you again!
I picked up a barely used 2024 Taylor 314ce there a couple of weeks ago for more than 40% less than they retail for when new. So, my feelings towards GC are quite positive right now. 😁
Sweet!
I'm proud to announce that I'm the 69th like.
Hey thank you very much!!! I appreciate it
@@Mattguitarmania You're welcome, thanks for the good review!
👍👍👍
Since you realised better ways of using the focus switch is the revstar now your favourite guitar?
Hey good question! It’s definitely in my top 2 favorites now. Thanks for asking!
Hey friends, several people have pointed out this does not have the same specs as the most recent affinity model. But my research shows this is a 2021 model before they did string through body and belly cut.
And now nobody takes you seriously. You created a whole video without even knowing the model of the guitar that you had. Squier Affinity guitars have a belly cut and a string through bridge.
I appreciate your comments but if you look further back in the comment section you will see that this actually is a Squier affinity model from 2021 I’m pretty sure there’s no reason to leave a snarky comment like this. Others have been more gracious in their attempted correction. Their comments led me to do more research which confirmed it is the model model, just a little older
dude is a stud
Thanks!
The 15g is not bad with a ns-2 and ds-1 set up correctly and pwered with a ac adapter and with the right settings it sounds amazing for what it is. I still would recommend upgrading though if your a beginner save your money to get something bug and nice like a champion 40
Thank you!
The affinity also has a belly cut body. I'm not sure what you have. Could be a Classic vibe ?
Hey thanks for chiming in! Somebody mentioned that earlier but when I did the research on the serial number, it ends up this is a little bit older model from 2021, before they added the belly cut. I really would like the belly cut but this model has the maple neck and maple fretboard, which makes it more valuable to me
Seems this yamaha meets all those criteria ;) Yeah i wasn't pumped about the focus switch; I don't get it. Carbon fiber reinforced sounds pretty rugged. 8 lbs is too heavy?
Thanks for your thoughts! I’ve changed my mind about some of these issues in the months since posting this video. See my thoughts here: ruclips.net/user/shortsg6s_EosLe58?si=AxqIi55oEZqAm8RO
