Yamaha has always produced a line pf real quality instrument's and if you keep your eyes open you see them in all forms of music jazz, 90;s metal , a lot of early pop punk bands used yamahas i remember some funk guys using them in the early 80's.. i made the mistake in 1980-81 i purchased a Ibanez custom blazer instead of a Yamaha SB1000 (think it was a 1000 might have been 2000) the only reason i went with the blazer was it was much lighter. They were both the best guitars in the store, Japan was really top of the game from 75 to 89...
Yamaha has always had a class A affordable line my aim is for their 335 killer SA2000 i have some great guitars including a Revstar !! sp90 and some nice ibanez AM153 upgraded to a 2000 us strat tele some other jazz boxes but my big aim in my retirement years is a SA2000 or a early SG/SBG 2000 (or a 1000 if i must) sorry i rambled so mush im a new subscriber very excited looking at your collection
@@REX-ks1os I recently got an SE1220 that I haven’t reviewed yet. Pretty much same specs as this guitar but a 25.5 in scale length. Looks more like a standard strat. Would love an SA2000 but need to find one for the right price.
Really nice. I have a 1980s RGX110 single humbucker and a volume knob, still one of my favorites, so simple, so savage. Might keep an eye out for this one
The Revstars are cool, but Yamaha NEEDS to make guitars like this again.
Haven't had a chance to try a Revstar. However, agree that Yamaha should reissue these guitars. Plays as well as any superstrat I've every tried!
Great sounding! Have loved these guitars since the 80's!

I so want one of these! Excellent guitar!!!
Thanks! They are hard to come by. I tend to see the 1212 more often which has similar specs.
I wish they would re-issue some of these models!!

Highly recommend if you can find one. A 1212 is also a good option and I tend to see those more often.
@@sydwynd yeah, I’d probably stick with the dual humbuckers, love that config
Nice sounding guitar, superb color!
Thanks! Super happy with it!
Awesome guitar! I have an RGX 520J, it's wonderful.❤
Thanks!
Had exactly one of these. Sold mine about 10 years ago. Nice guitar, but the trem was not the greatest. Cool to see
Thanks! Trem is not too bad on this one. B string not staying perfectly in tune but so far that's it.
beautiful
bro just really stares through you.
bro those 12's seem to be super rare. Can't see any for sale online currently
I know. That's why I scooped this up quickly. It's like the second 12 series I've seen in the last year.
Yamaha Weddington were nice .
Never tried one of those. However, I wouldn't mind a Studio Lord. I hear they're a great alternative to a Les Paul.
I had a purple one
Never seen one in purple! That must have been killer!
