Chambered Body Design

The chambered mahogany body is specially designed using Yamaha’s Acoustic Design Process to sculpt tone, improve resonance, and reduce weight for a more comfortable playing experience. This construction delivers strong sustain, balanced frequencies, and a lively acoustic character even before plugging in.

The lightweight body makes it ideal for extended practice sessions, rehearsals, and live performances.

Versatile Pickup Configuration

The RSE20 is equipped with Yamaha-designed VH3 Alnico V humbuckers in both neck and bridge positions, delivering warm cleans, aggressive overdrive tones, and excellent note clarity across multiple genres.

Its 3-way pickup selector allows fast switching between tonal options, making it suitable for rhythm, lead, and expressive performance styles.

Innovative Dry Switch

A standout feature of the Revstar Element series is Yamaha’s push/pull Dry Switch integrated into the tone control. Unlike traditional coil-splitting, the Dry Switch acts as a high-pass filter, tightening low frequencies and enhancing brightness without adding hum or losing output.

This gives players access to sharper, clearer tones while maintaining humbucker power and stability.

Comfortable Playability

The 3-piece mahogany neck paired with a rosewood fingerboard and jumbo frets provides smooth playability, comfortable grip, and easy bending. The 12-inch fingerboard radius supports both chord work and fast lead playing.

Its set-neck construction enhances sustain and provides solid neck stability for long-term reliability.
