Yamaha RSP20 – Swift Blue

The Yamaha RSP20 is a flagship electric guitar from the new Revstar series, designed for players who demand exceptional tone, playability, and versatility. This Japanese-made instrument features a unique chambered maple and mahogany body with carbon reinforcement, a design concept developed using Yamaha’s exclusive Acoustic Design process to sculpt tone, reduce weight, and ensure optimal balance. The stunning Swift Blue finish with its gloss polyurethane coating and cream pickguard gives it a distinctive, café racer-inspired aesthetic that looks as good as it sounds.

Key Features:

• Body Construction: Features a chambered maple and mahogany body with carbon reinforcement, designed to sculpt tone, reduce weight, and improve vibration transfer for a clear, resonant sound.
• Neck & Fingerboard: The 3-piece mahogany neck is also carbon-reinforced, topped with a rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius and 22 jumbo stainless steel frets for a smooth, durable playing surface.
• Pickup Configuration: Equipped with custom-designed Yamaha VH5n (neck) and VH5b (bridge) humbuckers with Alnico V magnets for powerful, aggressive tone.
• 5-Way Switching: Provides a wide range of versatile tonal options, with positions 2 and 4 offering a subtle phase shift for unique “in-between” sounds.
• Passive Focus Switch: The push/pull tone control activates a passive boost that mimics the sound of overwound pickups, providing darker highs and an increase in mids and lows.
• Initial Response Acceleration (I.R.A.) Treatment: This proprietary Yamaha process applies specific vibrations to the instrument to release stresses between components, resulting in a new guitar with a "played-in" sound and feel.
• Included Case: Comes with a deluxe hardshell case for secure transport and protection.

Built with Yamaha’s signature ergonomic design and cutting-edge technology, the Yamaha RSP20 redefines modern guitar performance. The combination of lightweight construction, superior tonal clarity, and effortless playability exemplifies the innovation and craftsmanship that set Yamaha apart, making this guitar an ideal choice for the discerning player.
