The Yamaha Revstar Element RSE20 chambered electric guitar brings a redefined style and attitude to the iconic Revstar series. This sleek double-cutaway axe pairs a lightweight, resonant chambered mahogany body with dual Alnico V humbuckers for powerful, nuanced tones with rich midrange punch. You will love the RSE20's high-pass "Dry" switch, which articulates highs and tightens lows without reducing volume or adding hum. Whether you're looking to cut through a dense mix or achieve vintage-voiced clarity, the Revstar Element RSE20 delivers.

Chambered Mahogany Body Reduces Weight, Boosts Sustain

The RSE20's chambered mahogany body was developed using Yamaha's proprietary Acoustic Resonance Enhancement technology, resulting in enhanced tone, improved balance and significantly reduced weight. Strategically placed sound chambers allow the guitar to resonate freely, producing outstanding sustain and acoustic-like warmth.

Dual Humbuckers Produce Powerful, Versatile Tones

The RSE20 is loaded with two custom-voiced Yamaha Alnico V humbucking pickups that generate a wide range of tones from vintage cleans to high-gain leads. The neck pickup delivers smooth, rounded lows and sweet, vocal-like highs, while the bridge pickup provides tighter bass, stronger mids and singing treble response.

High-Pass "Dry" Switch Adds Clarity and Definition

Yamaha's innovative push-pull "Dry" switch is built into the RSE20's tone knob, allowing players to instantly tighten lows and boost highs for increased note definition and articulation without sacrificing output level or introducing hum. Engage the "Dry" switch to cut through dense mixes or achieve single-coil-like clarity with the touch of a knob.

Modern Style Meets Classic Cool

The RSE20's double-cutaway silhouette, metallic finishes and black hardware epitomize modern rock style. A fast-playing maple neck, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard and medium-jumbo frets provide a comfortable feel and facilitate intricate lead work.
