Yamaha Revstar RS02CB Signature Chris Buck

A Revstar Signature with a Strong Character, True to the Artist's Spirit

Developed in close collaboration with Chris Buck, this Revstar Signature focuses on feel and sonic identity rather than just looks. The Honey Gold finish, amber "hat" style knobs, refined inlays, and signature on the back of the headstock enhance the premium aspect while preserving the Revstar DNA: a modern, robust guitar clearly oriented towards performance.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

This electric guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an inspiring, responsive, and nuanced instrument. The P-90 pickups excel in blues, classic rock, indie, pop, and roots styles: they finely translate right-hand attack, guitar volume adjustments, and amplifier gain variations. The chambered body improves comfort during long sessions, while the set-in construction promotes smooth lead playing, with notes that "sing" and remain present in the mix.

The Sound

The combination of a maple top and chambered mahogany back balances precision and warmth. Maple provides attack and excellent chord clarity, while mahogany enhances midrange and roundness, with livelier resonance thanks to the chambering. The VP5n / VP5b pickups (single-coil P-90 type, Alnico III) offer a very dynamic response: full-bodied cleans, harmonically rich crunches, and clear articulation even when pushing the amp. The TonePros AVT2 wraparound bridge accentuates the immediate feel under the fingers and supports sustain, ideal for expressive playing, from biting riffs to more nuanced lead phrases.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes with a premium gig bag (deluxe gig bag) for transport. To stay close to the original setup, a 0.010-0.046 gauge set is perfectly suited to this 24.75-inch / 628.6 mm scale length, maintaining a good balance between playing comfort, tuning stability, and pick response.
