    The Strat clone Pacifica of the 90's was an incredible guitar at an entry level price tag. I was in a punk band back then, and my guitarist had one with a Carvin halfstack and it was killer! I had a G&L bass with a Peavey amp and cab. We rocked. He put a SD mini Humbucker in it, and it was incredible. I love Yamaha!

  • @alienlovesecrets9379

    I am always confused when people say "it is good, especially for that price point". What does that mean now? Is it good or not? If Gibson would build exactly THIS guitar in the USA it would cost 3000 Dollars. Would this guitar then be better because more expensive? What makes a 3000 dollar guitar "better"? Why the hell is it "better"? Does it sound better? Are the materials "better"? What? WTF???

    • @stratofever1
      @stratofever1 4 года назад +6

      There are 3 things that make the guitar better:
      1- The quality of the wood & finish (especially the neck)
      2- The quality of the parts/pickups/electronics/bridge
      3- Above all, the quality of the labour put into it (precision of the binding, Fret sanding, buzz adjustments, how well the wiring is soldered, etc...)
      Since there are many factors & components in the equation, it adds up quickly... but that doesn't mean the bigger "brand names" do not inflate their price, which is the point @@UCrPHxHPnSvHzNNYbJlYoyGQ was making ;-) Revstars are a good band for your buck.

    First off, I appreciate and enjoy your videos. Your ability and demonstration of how one guitar can sound so different through your amp stack is quite impressive. I would venture to say most of us do not or cannot afford your level of amplification. Personally, I would rather see you demonstrating sub 1k guitars on of like combo amplifiers and or heads and cabs in a similar price range. That would impress me and might just let myself and others know what one may expect.

  • @andreil1234
    @andreil1234 5 лет назад +5

    Revstar are pretty amazing. Having owned 720b and 620BB, I have to point out some weak points too:
    - Both my revstar had a dead spot on the G string, 12th fret. Fretwork was flawless, something canceled those frequencies (truss rod perhaps)?
    - Nuts had channels cut too deep, causing needless lareral friction (fixed via black tusq)
    - String routing over the nut to the machine head posts suffers from gibsonitis: diagonal run causes some lateral friction, not ideal.
    - 720b has the bigsby installed too close to the Tom Bridge, causing excesive stiff feel for some tastes and definitely hurting tuning stability, since bridge saddles are cut too deep as well, thus the strings can hang;
    - 620 had the wrap around too tall overall, not allowing for really low action, since it would not go low enough; the Korean alchemy wrap around has notches for gauge 10+ strings, with a 9-46 set the thin e and b would move in the saddles when bending, not cool;
    - 720b weighed 4.4 kilos, quite heavy I'd reckon; 620 was a mere 3.4 kilos; quite some variation, I assume bigsby+locking tuners+heavier maple cap top + brass tron pickup baseplate are to blame
    - tuners good but not great, improper stagger too
    - 620 has an unusably dark voice with its neck humbucker; the bridge pup is pure dope however
    That said, I feel the best option is the 820, which grants some extra snap and better note separation via the tone pros avt ii bridge.

    The finish on the more expensive Revstars is hand-brushed with steel wool (or as Rob Chapman has said: "they held baby polar bears by their legs and brushed the tops of the guitars" - of course I am sure no baby polar bears were hurt during the making of the guitars). It is a very cool finish, but easy to fill with permanent fingerprints.

      It acts like a pseudo-single coil, but not really. It has less output when pulled. Personally I am not a fan of it. I'm thinking of swapping out the muddy humbuckers. Other than that, it looks cool and plays well. :)

      I can understand as I bought a Jackson Pro Soloist SL2QMAH for over a Grand with no case made in Indonesia . I like the guitar very much and the set-up was well done BUT it has some Finishing QC problems that should NOT be on a guitar at this price point. I kept the guitar because I like it and the small finishing problems are not a deal breaker for (ME) but I think you are correct in worrying about spending that much on a Indonesian made guitar. I also have a Schecter at the same price point (more or less) that came with ZERO issues from Korea. I think if you are spending a Grand or more I personally do not think I would choose a guitar made in Indonesia again from my experience..

      Guitar Anthony I purchased the same guitar in January and I must say it’s been one of my favorites ever. I own several guitars such as a 64’ Fender US Jaguar, 63’ Fender US Jazzmaster, 65’ Fender US Mustang, 63’ Fender US Duo Sonic (lol), 79’ Fender US Stratocaster, 94’ US Fender Stratocaster, 2015 Fender MIM Stratocaster HSS, 2017 Reverend Sensei HB Limited Edition Korean, 2018 Reverend BC-1 Billy Corgan Signature Korean, 2018 Reverend Charger 290 Korean, 2004 Ibanez S Series Prestige, 2017 PRS McCarty US - And,,,,,,,, this is only to name some.......
      But you sir sound like an imbecile saying you can’t see yourself buying a guitar for $1000 from Indonesia LMAO - don’t buy them because everyone will because you sir buy with your eyes and not by sound and feel. Of course we all miss the days of US and Japanese guitars being the shit and Japanese guitars still our but US not so much. The price of the Yamaha Revstar 820 is well priced and perfect because I’ll tell you this to get the same quality with US or Japanese stamped on it you’ll pay a hell of a whole lot more. I’m not saying you can’t buy a US Fender Stratocaster for this price but trust me it won’t be without compromise and most times where you can’t see that compromise for the heavy paint job lol. Trust me it’ll say US in the serial number but by the time your done modding the crap out of it you’ll have spent way more than a $1,000. And don’t get me wrong Fender is one of my favorite guitars as you can tell from the guitars I own above. I’m a huge Fender, Reverend and Yamaha fan because Reverend and Yamaha are built right and feel/sound just as amazing but most of my Fender’s are vintage besides the MIM Fender Stratocaster which shits on most US Fedner Stratocasters. Fender these days like Gibson it’s all about profit and offer less for more profit.
      The day you stop looking with your eyes and judging by where it’s made. The day you start using your ears and feel instead you’ll grow and become better because otherwise your holding yourself back without even knowing it. You say paying a $1,000 is to much but for the same exact US or Japanese model your paying $1,800 to $2,500. Those US and Japanese models for $1,000 or less your getting less and again you can’t see it visually but it’s been cut. Sure back in the day paying $450-$600 for a Japanese Fender was badass and I miss those days too but hasn’t the cost on everything gone up? And yes the typical average salary has stayed the same, I feel it myself as a typical American working a typical 9-5 job. Anyways it’s my thoughts on first hand experience with owning lots of vintage and modern. Today I would first pick Reverend guitars, Yamaha Guitars, Fender MIM and Fender Japanese.

      I’ve wrestled with the same thoughts.. then I got my Ibanez AZ Premium.. and then the Axion 7.. Times have changed, Indo and Korean are as good as anything, and the value/$ puts USA/Jap quality at around 1000$. Now changing my guitar player DNA to accept these facts, that’s tough.. but the axes are top knotch (at least in my experience)

    The bars on the frets look must sharper than the dots on the first guitar. I agree that matte finish would be preferred. i do like the look of the guitars. One last mention... you should look before you back up in your rolling chair. You don't want to run over and crush your cat's paws (which is basically a death sentence). It happens. Sorry, I'm a cat lover and figured I'd mention that. Thanks for the video.

      @spamspasm8183 5 лет назад

      This shape has been used by Yamaha since the late 60s with their Super Flighter series. Search for a Yamaha SF1000 on google. They just updated it by removing the fillets on the edges and making them sharper but it's the exact same body shape. They even have the same split inlays on the SF1000 and the Revstar 702. So I think it's safe to safe Yamaha didn't copy Reverend as Reverend was founded in 1997..
