Crazy Deal! REALLY! Yamaha REVSTAR II Standard Review

foreign [Music] [Music] so [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] uh [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] it's [Music] it's been so long since we left [Music] it's almost is [Music] [Music] here we are [Music] getting ready ready [Music] [Music] get out of town [Music] rocky road [Music] [Music] hello fans of the not classic guitar of the not tally the nut strat and the not les paul fans of the double cut the way that yamaha does them because yamaha has the new refstars out and i can already tell you a the video sponsored a b that's not my opinion that's bob that's my time and i cannot tell you that i'm pretty uh impressed by what they're doing here that by the way is way more yellow than it looks there um so we got the element series the standard series that's this one and the professional series that's this one element series comes in hamburgers two lefty models the standard series comes in six hamburger models four p90 models and two lefties which are hamburger the colors are in the standard series in humbucker uh black flash green hot merlot so that's a dark red uh sunset burst swift blue and vintage white and in p90 it's a black merlot this one and then the swift blue which is kind of cool because it's got a little bit of green touch in it now when it's set on the sheet hey we're sending you a guitar uh sunburst i was like oh boring and then i opened the gig bag let me show you the standard series coming to get back that's a big pet peeve of mine guitars in a certain price range i don't know how much this is i will tell you later when i know um coming without a gig bag and this isn't just an alibi gig bag this is actually it's got nicely padded uh shoulder straps it's a little bit more sturdy nicely padded it might not be the you know the ultimate kickback that you want for the guitar but it is solid it is a solid piece of equipment that comes with the guitar well done yamaha the element has dots the other two series have these really cool lines which i dig elements and standard both made in indonesia and the differences tough to say other than you know the obvious lines um oh that's what i was i opened the kickback and this came out and i am impressed there are some fades that go like this but the burst sunburst to go from bottom to top i think it is utterly stunning beautifully done yamaha and i just i just love it it's unique and it's a it's a nice touch on the sunburst i love it on the p90s we've got these freaky dekey bridge piece which i think really sets it apart on the humbuckers we've got a stop tail like on the others over there um other than that many things are the same the element series doesn't have binding the other two series do we have a beautiful volute right here just how it's supposed to be non-locking tuners which is something i should about they are very very good they're very soft very smooth i wish all of them had locking tuners i didn't about that in the uh element series there's really no reason why they don't have locking tuners other than let's save a couple bucks and it really is only a few bucks in production um so yamaha please next time around make these locking it just a modern guitar should have it there's no reason why it doesn't there's no excuse you can make that i'm going to accept weight on the headstock no really no differences i will notice super high gloss polyurethane is it correct let me let me not say wrong things here yes but then a satin neck which feels really like wood so don't think this is a uh painted neck it it has a wooden feeling um beautiful transition here from neck to body cool shaped cavity cover p90s or that still have these stickies on them let's take the stickies off i'm usually not the biggest fan of the p90s in in in the cream but it just it all works interestingly we have a five position switch we're going to find out what happens there later and then there's a focus switch what happens there i don't know i'll find out this is a vp5n p90 type signal called el niko 5 and that's a vp5b so probably yamaha exclusive oem their own thing we have a maple top it says here really whether that's veneer or not i don't know chambered mahogany so they have a new type of chambering system which isn't just for weight relief it is also scientifically developed to actually improve the resonance of the guitar whether or not that is snake oil and oh my god we have this amazing chambering and look how great the guitar is or not you have to decide when you play one i know they do sound good i know they do resonate i know they have great sustain whether that's because of the chambering i don't know mahogany body mahogany neck rosewood fretboard 12 inch thingy stainless steel jumbo frets 22 of them high strength pps nut tunomatic bridge right there and then the racing tailpiece diecast tuners three ply pickard comes with elixir nanoweb lights 10 to 46 and the kickback let's read up on what the crap this focus switch is it shifts the resonance the resonant peaks of the guitar's tone and increases power evoking overwound pickups try it for the road of jazz tone or aggressive push in front of the amp okay we'll find out and then they have when you go in the in between positions it's kind of like a hollow outer face sound but it's not done out of phase it's actually created by well i mean they're saying it's done with delaying the other pickup well when you have to pick two sounds and you're delaying one of them what happens it goes out of phase so it isn't a 180 degree outer face it's a differently out of phase so in the end it's still an out of phase sound but it does sound differently out of phase so interesting approach yamaha very interesting um oh what i forgot to say they are the professional standard models they have carbon reinforced necks and even carbon reinforced bars somewhere in the body these are not your old style boring guitars they definitely pushed the idea of what can we make out of out of our guitars does that make him better in mind blowing the modern new instruments no it's it's wooden strings and pickups but they didn't just go the old ways here we go sounds into the chong king sky king with the 412 cream but loaded cap through the ox [Music] [Music] that's horrible [Music] [Music] and here we've got one of those in phase things [Applause] super honky and clearly differently out of phase [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] mmm [Music] [Applause] there's so much spanking to it with these p90s this is a really cool guitar that sounds only like a red star with p90 scan i think [Music] that honkiness delayed pickups interesting do let's pull this thing so [Music] definitely rolled off in a way let's look at it here [Music] it's very relevant i can hear the road of jazz tony thing [Music] do [Music] be [Music] different than just rolling it back very interesting see how that works with some gain let's go to like a slightly boosted overdrive sound [Music] oh [Music] so bye [Music] uh [Music] [Applause] rather impressive there's quite a bit of total variety there like that dullness with that focus switch really for leads especially with the in between position shifty thing not too shabby let's go into the red seven duality 100 i mean with the p90 there's massive clarity happening all the way through let's pull that switch now it's really honky and focal and this there's a lot of different sounds in here let's go into high gain territory with the soldano slo-100 [Music] [Music] classic rock sounds with the mvp 66 from morgan that's a classic jtm circuit if i've ever played one and it's probably made for these types of pickups for this guitar [Applause] [Applause] then damn the definition it's all freaking there and it's clear without getting in the way in the low end that's a combination that lets you freaking rock i'm moving on into the marshall that's wrong sv 28 little plexi head there [Music] so [Music] [Applause] morgan it's ac20 which is very voxish [Music] [Applause] [Music] hmm [Music] that works extremely well going into the marshall jcm 800. [Music] um [Music] bye [Music] as i said many sounds with the two p90s more than any other p90 guitar that i've ever had i don't know what's going on if i do this it's my system here uh there's some interference happening sorry about that uh we're gonna go into the engel artist edition so [Music] or the orange rocker verb 50. man [Music] hey this thing looks freaking unique it sounds fantastic it plays well i think the action can probably go down yes a tiny bit lower even we have this thing which isn't just it actually does something unique five positions that are unique for p90s comes in the gig bag is super well built has the dots in the right place yes let's look so other than the missing locking tuners beautiful shaping shaping this is cool original inlays i mean look at this look at this thing isn't this just like way way freaking awesome let's go to me and talk about price well now that the price is out i know that this is way freaking cheaper than i thought i thought that the element series uh is around seven to eight hundred which would have been totally fine for what you're getting as a guitar and that this clocks in at around maybe 11 or 1200 and then the japan version the professional is at 1900 which would have made a decent progression of pricing this is ridiculous bang for the buck because this is clocking in at 7.99 and right now i'd say you'd be hard-pressed to find a guitar that feels this high-end this nicely done except for the locking tuners um with original switching with the phasing that focus switch which really adds a couple of really cool sounds everything about this thing including the kickback is saying i am much more than 7.99 so i'm extremely impressed with what yamaha has done here is the step up to the japanese version at 1900 justified it is a better guitar it's already resonated swung in in some kind of ira process it is a high-end instrument coming in the case is it twice the instrument because it is more than twice the price it's tough to say bang for the buck this is ridiculous of course i didn't compare this humbucker to the japanese humbucker version and should you get the humbucker version or the p90 version tough to say this has so much clarity and all the nice p90 sparkle and the humbucker version doesn't so i think you should really try both of them and i really think yamaha should do a humbucker p90 standard model 799 that is the guitar to beat or one of the guitars to beat right now on the market in its i mean price range and shape what's the shape it's a refstar tough to compete with the guitar that's this unique i think well done yama that's all i can say well done that's ridiculous for the price yamaha impressed me with the new range of rev stars i can't say it any other way are they good because of the chambering or the carbon or whatever they did i don't know but they're just good so if you can live with the idea that it doesn't look like a strat italia or les paul and you want to jazz you want to rock you want to pop rock you want to i mean metal with the p90s maybe no no this is definitely an extremely flexible instrument that finds its home in a ton of different styles comfortably doing the job extremely well i can't say it any other way so links below also at the beginning there was a one of these right here so if you're watching on the tv please use them because if you are interested in these or buying anything use any of my links and you're actually throwing some commission money my way which finances the channel thank you so much so thanks to yama thanks to you guys and thanks to the animals at the end thank you might [Music] feel the oceans hold you let on [Music] you
