Yamaha's Revstar range applies café-racer styling to the double-cut electric, for players who want a versatile modern instrument in a silhouette that is not a Stratocaster.
Watch
Why it matters
Revstar began as Yamaha's answer to a crowded double-cut market and has settled into a clear hierarchy, from the Standard models up to the Professional tier. Hardware and finish improve as the tiers rise while the body and neck feel stay consistent, so shopping across the range is straightforward. Yamaha's build consistency and dealer network are the practical advantages over smaller brands at the same prices.
Note
Café-racer-inspired double cuts with vintage-modern voicings (RS320/RS502T etc.).
Specifications
- Scale length: 628.6 mm (24.748 in)

Before you buy
- Model codes changed between generations, so used listings mix older and current names
- Finish tier drives most of the price difference within the range
- Wide dealer coverage makes it easy to compare several in one visit
