I’m a luthier in Brazil and I can assure that all Yamaha instruments that we service punch much above their weight

I was a Yamaha employee and received their employee discount when buying a product they make. It's normally 40% below retail, but occasionally when you place your order the guy in charge will call you and make a deal on something else they want to get rid of. I had ordered a 2022 RevStar and he called me up and said he had a brand new 2020 that retailed for $1999 and he would sell it to me for $899. It was in Sunset Burst and the one I had ordered was black/cream. 60% off? Hell yes. It was slated for some guitar show that was cancelled because of the pandemic and they needed to clear it off the books. The fact that I could buy with that kind of discount is what turned my on to the RevStar. I would have never given them a glance had they not been such a good deal. But now that I own it? It is easily as good as any Gibson, Fender, Ibanez, Gretsch, PRS, or other big name brand. And the Pacifica's are such a great value compared to a Strat. These guys are no joke. They are top shelf

I played a Revstar yesterday for an hour. It had the best set-up neck, fingerboard, fretting, intonation etc, I've ever come across. A spectacular guitar.

[michaeltaylors]

Rev Stars just have “ it” PRS, Anderson, Suhr, Ernie Ball level, precision, yet a very comfortable feel. perfect weight and balance, musically useful pickups. Would cost a small fortune if it were made in the 70s and had an F or G on the headstock. We are in a golden age for guitars, Love Yamaha so underrated.

[jimi]

Dude, you are an amazing Guitar player - very expressive. This is the first time i’ve seen a video of yours - I was blown away!

[DrunkenRhinoceros]

Yamaha makes really well crafted instruments. Their acoustic guitars are amazing, they make world class pianos, drums, and brass instruments. Their electric guitars great too.

[Jerry_Fried]

I've had one on order from Sweetwater for months. My rep told me they don't expect them to be in stock until early 2023. I played one at NAMM. It was outstanding.

I was in Abu Dhabi for work last week and had a free afternoon so headed into town and found a Yamaha store and played a Revvstar Pro with P90s. Absolutely fantastic! Very playable and great tone. Loved the big neck which I am used to coming from a classical background in my youth.

Oh yeah and your soloing is INSANE! That made me hit the like and subscribe! Looking forward to watching more videos.

[TomPapasBread]

Big fan of your work, Corey. You and Chris Buck are going to send sales of Revstars skyrocketing!

[p.g.pg]

La qualité du jeu ne peut que mettre en valeur la qualité de cet instrument! Merci Corey pour cette démonstration !

[blackbelt]

My brother in law let me try his Revstar Standard for a few days and I really liked it. I bought a Revstar Element in blue, so far it seems very solid, I really enjoy playing and love the looks of it too.

[carlwolf]

Incredible demo Corey ... once again you show what the guitar can do!

[frankie]

Just picked up a Sunset P90 standard, the setup, fret board and overall quality is spot on. For the price you would happily pay double, it’s that good.

[stevefisher]

I have two of the original Revstar's and I couldn't agree more - the best guitar under $1000. Excellent playing!!!!

[chuckzink]

Ive had the same one for a few years and it's amazing. I get compliments on tone all the time. Love it.

[craiger]

I really like the mid boost on that guitar. Corey, your playing is just awesome. From rock to jazz-blues you've got it all. Love the Dumble-esque tones you were getting from your rig.

[nelsonw]

I just bought a used Revstar RS820CR which is the predecessor to this generation and I love it. Seems really well made and well thought out. I’m glad that the new ones are great too.

[stephanbrilmayer]

Great player - as always - and a brilliant guitar. Yamaha builds excellent guitars for decades but in Germany they are not very well known, sadly.

[nic]

Hey Corey I bought this guitar based on your review. Ordered it back in August and it just came today. P90s in sunburst and I must say it is such a beautiful instrument and LOVING it so far. I could nitpick one or two minor things but overall its the best guitar I've owned. Thank you!
