This thing punches waaaaay above its weight class in terms of price to playability. It is actually stupid how much better it is than my LP. Neck heel is beautiful, completely open access to the upper frets. A nice, chunky, matte neck, too.
It also has a coil-tap-but-not-coil-tap on the tone knob push pull that gives a little more bite and chime single coil character but with minimal output loss.
Another thing I really appreciate is that Yamaha took the time to wire the pots correctly so when I turn them "forward" (counterclockwise), the volume goes up. Some other, bigger companies do not always take the time to do this.
All in all, a solid guitar for a great price. Highly recommend giving it a look if you are in the market for a versatile HH guitar.
Revstars are seriously underrated. I love them. Very, very well made, and completely out class epiphone (and, honestly, most gibsons unless you are extraordinarily lucky).
They look like a classic that's been around forever without being gaudy (looking at you, Eastwood guitars...!) and I can't say enough great things about them.
