Henning my man, you are a legend. Comprehensive reviews, tasteful jams, and on point humor. Thank you for all the joy you bring.
Big ol' hug from Mexico.
Went to the store for Strat and came out with the 502T in dark green..🤪👍🇦🇺
How is it ? Thinking of getting the exact one myself.
@@princephilip-v5t i have the 502 wraparound and it is an extremely good axe for the money, i have other more expensive guitars and the 502 holds its own no problem. The 502T should have slightly lower output p90s and different bridge but other than that pretty much the same.
Better choice. 🤘
@@MatthewFant Just picked up an AMPRO-II Strat in Olympic white. Now I have plenty of options. 502T is a keeper and best bang for buck I reckon..🥰🇦🇺
If anything the Revstar is based on Yamaha's own SG series from about 30 years ago. They were great guitars and played by Santana among others.
Yessss... a lot of people are saying Yamaha is copying Reverend, but It's the other way around. And these revstars sound and play amazing.
Revstars are directly inspired by the Yamaha Superflighter from about 30 years ago. Nevertheless similarity with SG are also evident. I wish thar Revstar has the split coil that SG and Superflighter had... better than the Dry Switch IMO.
@@olimon63 yes, definitely a lil brother to the Yamaha SuperFlighter over the Yamaha SG
I got the P-90 Revstar some time ago. And I love it!! It gives me this warm bluesy sound with that bit of a sparkle! And as you said, it looks reaaally cool!!
There are actually springs that attach the tailpiece to the body. Gives it an awesome resonate twang acoustically and plugged in.
Wow! I had no idea. I've never seen the 502T in person so I always thought the tailpiece was bolted into the body somehow.
I was already sold on the 502T listening to Chris Buck's (Buck and Evans) sublime playing. This video was the icing on the cake!
HELL YES to the 502T! That is what fun, gutbucket Rock & Roll is all about! 🤘😎🎸
You forgot to play the Dry Switch which is THE most important thing on this guitar AND you have forgot to use the Tail Piece as slight Tremolo because its on SPRINGS man :D anyway, I ordered it on Thomann and should have it in my hands tomorrow! Excited :D !!!
Still playin' the puppy? :)
Does the RS320 have the Dry Switch?
@@thecloudsurfer: no
Thank you Leslie!
Thank you Henning. Your review and Jonathan Koh's basically made me ... buy unseen and unplayed a 502T. Well done Yamaha, stylish, understated and oozing of quality.
Yeah...Yamaha makes stone killer guitars! Love that 502T!!! Was looking at a couple Yamahas at a local store the other day...very nice! Rock on Henning!
I got the 502 without the tailpiece and it is amazing. So often I find myself picking it up over my more expensive guitars, like US strat or Gibson LP. It sounds great and the neck feels like a 1500 Euro plus guitar .The tuners feel like high level engineering work and set-up out of the box was top notch : )
All revstars are great guitars. Value for money
Yep 👍
Henning you are the real deal. You always look like you are having fun which is what life should be all about. Great reviews.
From the RS502 and above you get a gigbag. You get a hardcase with the rsp20cr. These revstars looks gorgeous.
I’ll never be able to get the Michael Bolt-on out of my mind whenever I play my Fenders or Danelectros... 🤣
Really enjoyed your video. The 502T is such a great guitar! I have had mine for a year. Highly recommended it to anyone after some pure P90 joy! 😀
Almost a year late, but you missed the feature that takes it over the top! The "dry" switch cuts low end and makes it sound like strat/tele single coils! No actual coil split, therefore retaining volume!
but single coils have more low end
These Yamaha guitars are pretty dang sweet but, my god, all those amps... just wow.
Thank you Henning for all the fun and the detailed analysis on everything you do. "Cites are no more", rosewood for fretboards is released finally.
Congratulations on your reviews and your good mood. Greetings from southern Spain
The RS320's PUPs are ceramic, hence the tones. Only a small price segment up for the RS420 for with the initial segment Yamaha OEM VH3 series alnico Vs. Above that the neck profiles change, and all the *humbuckers* from 620 through 820 series are VH5+ alnico V except for the 720T where they are VT5+.
Henning, excellent as always! Yamaha, not so much, no lefties in this series of guitars. At one time, Yamaha was the go to brand for lefties and they still produce some decent acoustics and Pacificas for us, but seriously, not one Revstar?
That’s okay G&L, Reverend, Titan and Eastwood can have our business.
i love revstar !!! it s very cool guitar , i need one ... with the copper pickguard !
heh i just bought one and i am over the moon you give it the thumbs up .. i trust your opinion and i cant wait ...sunday i will be like little kid in the sweet shop ...waiting for the post ..big thanks . kent uk. happy happy happy 56 year old .
My Revstar Upgrades: Chrome locking tuners, Chrome roller bridge, Chrome Duesenberg tremolo, Dimarzio SONIC ECSTASY engraved pickups, Seymor Duncan Triple-Shot Rings, mirror pickguard and truss rod cover, Chrome knobs, magnetic slide bar, killswitch, decorative stickers... with TLC the neck is great now.
Made me buy a Yamaha guitar, awesome to hear it through so many great amps as well. 👍
huge fan of revstars i love them i love my rs620 i m lookin the ones with p90 these days
I'm officially saving my money for the 502T.
Getting this baby
they are both wonderful guitars to play. In the last 12 months I've bought both a "used" yellow RS320 and a "used" Bowden Green RS502T. I can't understand why the buyers sold them - and they rarely come onto the used market
nice vid! but please, do yourself a favor and use the dry switch, both PUs and a chrunchy amp setting. You really missed the best part of this awesome guitar. Just my 2 Cents. Cheers
Came here to say this! It's an interesting one. Rolls off some bottom end for a thinner single coil like tone without splitting the pickup and losing a load of output. Have a 420 and looove it
Absolutely loved the 2nd one, and the sweet "Hoochie Coo" chords u were playin on the blue 1!
I have been trying to find one in Vancouver, but no luck (502)
I have the 502T, in 1 word, fantastic. Most underrated guitar around, plays and sounds as good as a guitar 2 or 3 times the price. And while a great rock guitar, select the bridge pickup, activate the dry switch, crank the reverb and your already in surf music territory. Just one thing, hook up a TC Electronics Sentry Noise Gate to address the hum when not in the middle position.
Nice review, how does it compare to IBANEZ GIO GAX30?
My old bassist had a revstar like 25 years ago. It was an AWSOME guitar
Henning had me bobbing my head to the 502T, exquisite playing on an exquisite guitar that is light years beyond my skill but it's a gotta have, I'm eyeballing the 502 presently not to be found.
I have the 502T and 620 and these are killer guitars, also 611 Pacifica amazing guitars.
Nice, nice. Which ones would you say is better, the 620 or the 502 and how does the Pacifica compare? I would assume the 502 vs. 620 is a 'taste' thing, they're two guitars for 2 different purposes as I see it. The 502 is the 'P90' equipped guitar whereas the 620 is going for more of a Gibson-type sound but retaining a certain Yamaha-ish clearness and bite.
You crack me up dude. Love your channel !
Just bought a 502T yesterday because of your review. It’s amazing
Prefer the Yamaha RS502T!! The P90 sounds perfect, warm, sweet. Come with a gig bag is a plus 🎸
Yamaha make great guitars and bikes,. I'm a fan.
Totally underrated model series.
There is actually a CITES exemption for musical instruments coming in the next few weeks/months.
Yaaaaaayyy!
Thats True Tom ;) good news man!
That are cool guitars!
I plan to pick up a Revstar, just not sure which yet. I'm also thinking about a Pacifica. I already own 2 Yamaha guitars and one of them is about 45 years old. Yamaha guitars are fantastic instruments!
PEACE 💀👽🎸🎶🎵
I already felt in love with the RS502 in billet green...
Fell
This 320 is just fucking ready for a punk-rock concert!
Nice review! Those P-90s were.... they were authentic and the deal! At that price? FM! Thanks again!
You forgot to play it with the "dry switch" engaged, which is really a treble bleed.
it's high pass filter, treble bleed is something diffrent
@@wojciech2456 Yes, I stand corrected, it cuts the bass not treble
@@wojciech2456 Nope :D its a LOW CUT filter. This guitar also has a Treble Bleed on the Volume Knob if Im not mistaken.
Really interested in your take on the 440 cause I loathe P90s
Nice guitars... Don't take this the wrong way.. I watch a lot of your videos because you are very thorough and knowledgeable about what you're reviewing... I do wish though you'd lighten up a bit... get a Blues Junior and play some blues once in a while.... I'm reaching overload on the "metal"....
great review! very professional!
Hey, I've just realised it's still written Yahama in the title.
RS320. Very nice guitar for the money, but in any colour but girlie blue if I was paying. Swap out those ceramics with a paired set of inexpensive high output genuine Korean made Wilkinson WHHB alnico V and man that thing would turn into an outstanding instrument which would go head to head with anything 5 times its price. RS502T perfect as is. Lubbly jubbly.
These are great ....the p90 models especially
Thank you, this was helpful!
These are SUCH good guitars!
I have seen Dennis Hormes rocking THE SHIT out of a 502T... then again, Dennis could play a single piece of wire stretched between two nails and still rock the shit out of it.
You can actually do stuff with its tailpiece. I'm talking bends and the like, Henning, I know what you thought about!
You SOLD ME, I"m IN...
I need a RS502t So bad, if you say its good, it must be good ;) Thanks for the video :)
Since the tuners are so precise, I’m curious what the gear ratio is on that RevStar. I know that on my PAC 611FVM it’s 18 to 1 but a good rule of thumb is they should be no less than 12 to 1 with average good ones are usually 15 to 1.
When you commented on how heavy the first one was, that reminded me of the reason Carlos Santana gave for switching from Yamaha SG to PRS - he said the Yamaha was just too heavy and was hurting his back & shoulder... but most fans with discerning ears still think the Yamaha years were his very best tones.
Thanks, Dude!
Mensch, die 502T klingt _saugut_ !!!
So great to see you get deeply involved having fun on the Revstar. Tipped me over the edge to buy one
Dry switch is a bass cut filter!
The cleans are not good enough for my music, maybe some PAF style pickups would do the job but they both look nice.
I just realized that your wife is the lady that run the animal shelter. 🤗
So 9 months later, has your opinion changed at all? I don't have a P90 guitar and was looking at the Revstar 502T.
In case your conidering a Revstar, my 502T came from the factory with sharp frets. Yamaha Australia authorised a repair through their luthier network. The luthier turned my meticulously maintained 502T into a RELIC - File marks all across the fretboard, discolored my ivory binding (blackened it) and also left cracks along the binding. Yamaha's national service manager (AU) , Drew Morrow, was indifferent and basically told me to suck it up. Will never recommend or buy Yamaha instruments again. Their warranty counts for nothing, and management staff treat you with contempt, forever using rhetoric to evade their obligations.
Wondering why they didn't send you one of the new THR30II amps to try all their guitars through? Two birds, one stone.
Looks like Yamaha solved Gibson’s notorious problem of their necks snapping off when dropped because of the extreme break point. Such a shame that Gibson refuses to recognize this innovation.
Another awesome video & that's the coolest guitar stand I've ever seen, where can I get one Henning ?
Bulldog Music Gear
@@EytschPi42: Cheers buddy :-)
Servus! Wie immer, ein sehr informatives Video und sehr kurzweilig ;-) Welche Funktion hat denn der Push/Pull-Poti beim letzten Modell 502 - oder habe ich was verpasst?
hab ich total vergessen... ist wohl ein Treble Bleed...
12:24 who was reflected in the back door? I know it wasn't Zephod or was it?
Someone can tell me how's the neck? I have big hands and I'm thinking buy one of these 502t
Fantastic 👍
What is with the P90s? Are we going backwards?
Thanks for this series of videos. Like the 502T but torn between that and the pacifica 611 which I have been considering for a while.
Noob question: how do you change strings on that thing?
How do you switch out all your amp heads?
can you show us the high end one from the line? how does the scale feel in this guitar compared to a Gisbo? #playauthentic
Does rs320 sounds good for metal?
How do you restring it???
Unrelated question but.. What chair is that?
I'm looking for a good chair :)
Herman Miller Aeron
Can I enter the giveaway to win one of your shirt? (Worn by you)
The bridge is a tremolo too
I have one. It isn't.
Rs320 or Pacifica120h?
The like deserved just with the Michael Bolton joke :)
The Dry Switch is an EQ circuit that's supposed to make humbuckers and P90's sound more like single coils without introducing hum or losing power.
More on it here: newatlas.com/yamaha-revstar-guitars-dry-switch/40958/
Epiphone sg400 or yamaha rs320-light rock?
definitely the yamaha
@@EytschPi42 thank you
does anybody know the riff he's playing at 7:30 ?
Many times have I slaved and switched for you. I yet have to earn an ice cream it seems :(
Butterscotch, butter gin. You running something on the side here Pauly?
Whatever happened to Michael Bolton? Is he still around? Hang on a minute I've got google I'll check .... yeah he's got a gig on 9th November at the Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile. I probably won't be going but nice to know.
Coolest shirt i have ever seen
You need a desk chair with armrests that fold up.
That looks fun... Can I come over and jam?
hola
Yamaha Revstar 502T or Yamaha pacifica 611HFM? Which one gives most value for the money? Thanks in advance for your opinions! ;)
I've owned both and thought the 611 HFM was a better value and a better built guitar. The 502T is a great guitar too, but it can have a little neck dive.
@@zumzool Yes PAC611 and PAC612 are better.
@@raudoyveloz Can you please explain why you find that? Thanks!
@@antonfruytier Yes, better hardware (Grover locking tuners and Wilkinson vibrato or hardtail in 611H with graphite saddles Graphtech), better pickups (Seymour Duncan) and better Nut and Strings trees (Black Tusq XL by Graphtech) and more versatile (HS-p90 or HSS PIckups configuration) but without gigbag.
In Revstar Series you pay the new design and the construcción is more expensive (mahogany and set-neck).
@@raudoyveloz Thank you for the explanation! Cheers
Is the 320 good as first guitar for a beginner? Is it better than pac311?
I would go for the 311
@@EytschPi42 is it better in general or better for a beginner?
the 320 is limited and doesn’t get good cleans.... so I wouldn’t recommend it for a beginner
