  • Julian Ward from Yamaha presents the RevStar RS620 electric guitar. The mahogany body and flame maple top are contoured for gigging comfort, while the medium neck profile and jumbo frets deliver smooth, precise playability. A pair of Yamaha VH5 humbucking pickups serves up a wide tonal range, further enhanced by the push-pull Dry switch that enables single-coil-like tones. After the video, click the link below for more info and hi-res photos of the Yamaha RevStar RS620.

    I was on the verge of buying an SG but I'm gonna play at least one of these before I make that decision.

    These are so underrated, need a big musician to try one out
    Better than a Gibson, in between a les Paul and SG but better in tuning and sound
    Nice and barky because thinner body, but more clearer, and fat, juicy, and just good flavour,
    lots of midrange but still balanced like crazy.
    So good especially cheaper than a Gibson

    I've owned one of these for eighteen months now and I still look forward to playing it. No niggles at all, the only change I've made is putting on 9.5 gauge strings to replace the original 10's. There's no doubt that the warmth of the tone suggests late 60's/early 70's but that's what I was looking for and that's exactly what I got.
    Factory set up was OK but I managed to improve it myself and now I've got a super low action with no fret buzz.
    Jazzy blues, early ZZ top style rock are what this guitar is about.
    Not one regret, definitely worth the money.

    • @thierrygoli4271
      @thierrygoli4271 2 года назад

      I also changed the 10's for 9.5 gauge. In comparaison with my LP, the strings seem harder. I think it has smthg to do with the one piece wraparound bridge.

      @trentrez6643 6 лет назад +6

      Oh please. Every damn demo i ever see is a bunch of jackoffs trying to show off how many jazz chords they know, completely clean. OR playing the most sparse empty nothing they can come up with, also completely clean, and trying to make it seem "soulful" somehow. This demo is refreshing

  • @thierrygoli4271
    @thierrygoli4271 2 года назад

    Love this guitar. The only issue is the weight unbalance between body and neck. The neck is a bit too heavy making it unconfortable when played standing up. Hope they have fixed this on the new series with the carbon rod in the neck.

      Hello, Knife Sharpening Norway! That's a great question, it really has most to do with what features you like in a guitar and your particular playing style. Without knowing more about you, it's hard to say what would be best. Me personally, I like the Fender Special Edition Custom Telecaster:
      www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/TeleHHFMIBC--fender-special-edition-custom-telecaster-fmt-hh-black-cherry-burst-with-indian-laurel-fingerboard
      It's a great guitar, and will do tons of different tones. Great for blues/rock. But give me a call if you have more questions. Thanks for the interest!

      Same here! That's a lot of the reason I like PRS guitars. for whatever reason, I've never found the ABR/tune-o-matic bridges comfortable (for me). Anyway, these bridges like on this yammy are great for palm muting!

      Hi, Larry! The neck width is the same on those two models, but the depth is different. The RS620 uses their Medium neck shape while the RS420 is their Thin shape. If you have any other questions, please give us a call. Thanks for your interest!
