A NEW GENERATION

The original Revstar guitars launched in 2015—our first new electric guitar series in more than a decade. A completely refreshed lineup was introduced in 2022.

MUSIC AND MOTORS

The Revstar style is inspired by café racer motorcycles—stripped-down performance machines that were customized to reflect the personality of their riders.

MODERN. CLASSIC.

Revstar balances Japanese innovation and traditional artisanship. Modern features enhance playability, versatility, and tone, while the design references classic Yamaha electric guitars going back to 1966.

HANKO MARK

Used in place of a signature in Japan, the hanko stamp on every Revstar guitar is our seal of approval. Element and Standard models feature the “Revstar” hanko, while the stamp on Professional models signifies “Made in Japan.”

REVSTAR STANDARD

With two available pickup configurations, 5-way switching, and the Focus Switch passive boost, the new Revstar Standard is all about versatility.

Revstar Standard guitars feature chambered bodies designed to sculpt tone and reduce weight with carbon reinforcement in the neck to improve vibration transfer.

5-WAY SWITCHING

With the same 5-way switching as Revstar Professional, the subtle phase shift on positions 2 and 4 offer a fresh take on classic “in-between” sounds.

FOCUS SWITCH

The push/pull Tone control activates a passive boost with an effect similar to overwound pickups—darker highs, increased mids and lows, and an aggressive character.
