yet another very complimentary review of these guitars. I haven't found a review yet that can find anything negative to say about these guitars. after dozens of glowing reviews I finally decided to go for it. I ordered the "hot merlot" P90 model. yamaha stuff in general is all top shelf !!!
Nice man, I'm really loving mine! Ooh the hot merlot ones look so good too! I was using the sunset burst for this video, and I own the swift blue P90 Standard, which has such a cool, vintage look! Sounds awesome too, but you already know that from yours!
Nicely done Dan! I’ve watched pretty much every video out on this guitar - I have the blue one on order, just waiting for it to be fulfilled and shipped. Nice video - great comparisons across the different switch positions. Keep it up! Just FYI, the P90 version is the RSS02T. 🤘
Thanks so much for the kind words Nate! Glad you liked the video and that's great that you're getting one too. I've been loving mine! Also, that's right, I meant the 02T, thank you!
@@cfire99 I did! I’ve been loving it. I should record a video and put it out there - it took about four months for mine to arrive, and I almost cancelled it to buy something else. Well worth the wait!
@@godofsporks yes that would help! I think if you don’t normally do your own set ups and adjustments, you may want to get a set up and tell them you’ll be adding on 12s. I don’t think you’d need the professional set up for the 11s though
I’ve been doing my own for awhile now, but you’re right it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get it done professionally for the initial adjustment. Thanks again! Really love the tone you get out of this guitar.
How are the p90s for 60 cycle hum? P90s are generally v noisy but I’ve heard the Revstar are quieter than usual. Also, consider using the focus switch for jazz tones (John Cordy highly recommends it for that).
Hey, sorry for the delayed reply! Yeah I was actually surprised that it wasn't that noisy with the P90s on my revstar. It's definitely not as noisy as my strat.
I don't really find them noisy. It definitely won't be as quiet as noiseless pickups though. The Revstar is not as noisy as my fender strat if that helps...
Dan, hope you got a better microphone or lavalier mic since this video. I like your playing but old ears make hearing you voice hard for me. Best Regards and Best Wishes for 2023!

Did you ever get it?

@@natedeppermann7142 Thanks man, I’ll definitely get one now 😊
Excellent video and overview of a guitar I've become infatuated with! I have a Professional in crisp gold pre-ordered. Trying to be patient!
Ahhh that's so exciting that you're getting a Revstar Professional! Fantastic guitar. Thank you for the kind words as well!
Your sound so lovely 😊
Thanks you!!
Tail piece is great and can provide a bit of hand trem ❤
Great sound, great demo. What's the amp and the settings you used? I really liked your clean tones, more than any of the other reviews I've seen.
Thank you! I actually plugged in direct through my interface for this one (focusrite) and I'm using the CLA Guitars plugin
Great review my man !
Thank you!! Do you have a Revstar?
Wow
Thanks for watching!
Hi Dan, what string gauge are you using in this video? I plan on using mine for jazz pretty exclusively. Thanks for the great demo and review!
Hey Ian, I use 10 gauge on my Revstar. Are you thinking of using 11s? Not sure how it would handle 12s
@@HartigMusic I was thinking about 11’s or 12’s. I heard loosening the bridge screws helps with higher gauge?
I appreciate your insights.

Ordered mine 2 months ago…..still waiting.
Hope you get it soon! Which one did you get?
Good luck
what amp are you using?

Are those p90s noisy? Specifically in the cleans?
I don't really find them noisy. It definitely won't be as quiet as noiseless pickups though. The Revstar is not as noisy as my fender strat if that helps...
@@HartigMusic thanks for the feedback
That’s at school
Dan, hope you got a better microphone or lavalier mic since this video. I like your playing but old ears make hearing you voice hard for me. Best Regards and Best Wishes for 2023!
How hot are those P-90s?
They are definitely pretty hot and punchy. Really great for some vintage sounding tones
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! Do you play a Revstar?
@@HartigMusic I just bought one a couple of weeks ago, lovely guitar!
Would look great without that tailpiece. RIP RS502.
I've been thinking about possibly removing it, but haven't decided yet
How about a version without that god-awful tail piece?
You don’t like it??
@@HartigMusic It's unneeded and garish and blows the clean look of an otherwise outstanding guitar.
@@HartigMusic Do you have to take off the tailpiece to change strings?
@@edema.3418 Nope. Very easy to change strings
I like the tail piece.
