Revstar RS02CB (Chris Buck)

The RS02CB is Chris Buck's signature Revstar, built in the same tier as Yamaha's Standard models for players who want his voicing without ordering a custom guitar.

Watch

Why it matters

The Revstar helped shape Chris Buck's tone and playing, and the RS02CB recreates his own custom instrument as a production model rather than as a stock guitar with a different finish. It is voiced specifically for that role, which is why it sits at the top of the Standard tier rather than in the middle of the range. Signature models of this kind appeal to players who already know they like the Revstar format and want the artist's version of it.

Note

The Welsh blues stylist's affordable Revstar signature.
