Yamaha Revstar P90 Professional RSP02T Review & Demo – This Guitar Is INSANE


Yamaha’s Revstar Professional RSP02T is the flagship of the Revstar series, masterfully crafted in Yamaha’s renowned Japanese factory to serve as a shining example of all that the Revstar is capable of! This maple-topped double-cut’s lightweight chambered mahogany body is loaded with two rich and warm sounding VP5 pickups that deliver classic P-90 tones — from clean jazz textures on the neck pickup to wild overdriven leads on the bridge. If you’re looking for a high-performance, no-nonsense axe with explosive tones, rock-solid playability, and sleek modern aesthetics, your search ends with the RSP02T.

  • When you say Graphite in the neck…. Is that the same as Carbon Fiber?

  • Been with Yamaha since the 90s. Never looked back. People that talk bad or make them out to be a cheap guitar simply haven't tried them or know what they are talking about. Yamaha is one of the finest guitar makers in the world

  • I love your review. But that's not what out of phase means. Out of phase in this situation is more like the greenie or Brian May guitars.

  • Nice high-level look at the guitar. I've been a fan of Yamaha guitars since the early 80's- they've never let me down.

  • Why on earth to these guys shake the guitar necks???? IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER!. JUST MAKES YOU LOOK SILLY!

  • Be warned that the Indonesian made are not the same quality as the MIJ. I received my brand new Revstar RSS02T packaged from Yamaha and it had two high frets, tool marks on the fretboard, cracks in the binding, a poorly fitted, poorly cut nut, fisheyed paint spots and back bowed neck. Yamaha customer service was non-existent. Luckily the dealer paid for a local luthier to fix it up short of the tool marks and water in the paint so be warned!

  • I’d want to try (buy) one, but the reported weight of this example concerns me. I would have hoped the chambering would have ensured a weight of 8 lbs or less. But I’m sure they vary. Someday I’ll run across one and try it.

  • I bought a brand new RSP02T in Oct.2023. I just had an idea about what these 2 knobs + the 5 way switch do.

    I haven’t played it a lot in the past 1-year ownership. Every time I play, I go for what’s the most enjoyable tone to my ears.

    Today I just, for no reason, wanted to find out what these things do and I gotta give thanks to the video for helping me understand. Great job explaining the functionality of RSP02T!! ????

    Thanks!!! ????

  • Finally played one at Sweetwater today. Such a killer guitar in all regards. The varieties of tone is just astonishing. LOVE IT!

  • It's not all that great! I just received my brand new Revstar RSS02T packaged from Yamaha and it had a very high bridge, tool marks on the fretboard, cracks in the binding, high frets and a poorly fitted and cut nut causing buzzing. It is at the Luthier now to even make it playable…

  • We got these into the shop I work at. I tried one when they came in and was very impressed. A lot of people have a stigma about Yamaha, but I kept asking people to try it and give their opinion. Everyone that played one was highly impressed. One guy came in to buy an amp and left with a with one of these to go with it. All 3 in our initial order were gone in less than 2 weeks. Yamaha did very well with these.

  • My guy, your presentation style is fine, but please do some research on guitar electronics. Out of phase is not achieved through a slight delay, and your explanation of it as well as the push/pull boost really missed the mark.

    Reply
  • Yep that reinforcement with graphite in the neck is a touch and half from Yamaha, yep fluctuations of temp and humidity, that will help less time for it too rest on stage say, from it being taken out of the case and for yourself or a tech to need to keep it in tune from the neck reajust to to the envrioment, until you set off and play it. Smart thinking Yamaha. ????????

    Reply
  • When I hear Chris Buck and Matteo Mancuso ripping on them, you just know Yamaha have made a brilliant range called the revstar.

    Reply
  • Im new to the Revstar, but it is easily my best guitar i own. I got the Standard with p90s. I absolutely LOVE it! I really hope more people can experience this beautiful instrument.

    Reply
  • Come tax season is when I hope to order one of these . I have 2 horizons mij and just ordered a prestige today so I think that something well made that isn't a superstrat might be a nice change . Impressive guitars and nice job of covering a lot of pertinent info in under 10 min .

  • I got my RSP02T in crisp gold and is a killer monster! I’m putting my Strat hotroded and upgraded, Casino Coupe upgraded, Godin Stadium 59, AND the Gibson ES 335 (the queen mother) on holidays, cause this Revstar has become the Queen to rule my set lists and gigs!

  • "when I see "you are missing out" in the title, I think marketing. Are you paid to endorse this guitar?

    Reply
  • Tom I’m looking at either this or the PRS se McCarty. I need some thing that can handle country T style, rock and blues. With all the features this guitars has I just don’t see how the prs could top this one. Please give me your opinion if you are laying your cash down which would you go for… new sub, enjoyed your review and sound samples Thanks my friend!

  • This guitar has become my easy number one guitar. I own two of the Standards one with p90 and one humbucker version. Both are equally good in quality. AMAZING guitars.
