A PERFECT Alternative To A Les Paul? | Yamaha Revstar RSP20CR

The Yamaha Revstar RSP20CR, very kindly sent to me by Yamaha to try out. Certainly one of the classiest guitars I ever reviewed and looks good anywhere, on anyone. In my opinion, the perfect all-round rock machine that makes a great alternative to a Gibson Les Paul with familiar features of Fender Strat/Charvel which I love! Excellent craftsmanship and certainly a Cinderella guitar on the market right now. Well worth the look.

A message to Les Paul purists, I don't have a hatred for Les Pauls, they just aren't the guitars for me simply due to little niggles mentioned in the video that Yamaha strips back and improves for my needs personally.

I am hooked up to a Yamaha THR30II amp, no post mixing or mastering.

I have an LP black beauty and a Revstar ..both magnificent instruments. If you're thinking of getting a Gibson, get a Revstar instead and go on a holiday with the left over cash. Revstar sounds and plays just as good and has more tone options.

Cameron, you always surprise and you get better & better. Humbling & inspiring to watch.

[alanwinn]

Cameron, I don’t think Yamaha could have asked for someone to give a better demonstration of their guitar. Sublime skills, beautifully played (as always 👍).

[Olsen-vpvg]

These are reminiscent of the old Yamaha SG guitars. I’ve been eyeing them for a while.

[TheGuitarFretZone]

Nice guitar, I remember a long time ago(80s), Yamaha had cream model like this that was like having a les paul custom, they were very nice- great playing as always

2:18 how many times do you wrap the string around the post... YES.

That hurts my soul haha

[Chris-thim]

Goodness! Who put the top E string on, theres a Tunning key under there, I swear! Lol... sounds awesome as always cameron!
🤘😎🎸 Yamaha is always on point.

[LottimusMaximus]

I have a revstar and a Les Paul. The revstar takes all the good from a Les Paul and an SG, and put it together. Amazing sound and upper fret access.
I’m a bit attacked to LP’s, but I do love this guitar.

[hanskorn]

Enjoyed that” Eat The Rich” riffage at the beginning! Takes me back to my early days when I was heavy into my Aerosmith phase.

[finishin.my.coffee]

That intro was like Brad Whitford meets EVH.

[PulseAM]

I have a Revstar 320 and I had been considering a LP since I sold my studio but to be honest the Revstar kicks ass, even the 320 sounds fantastic and plays good. It's more like a modern take on a LP junior. I haven't moded it but I might put seymour duncans in it at some point. There's a video on YT about how they designed the Revstars, check it out, I'm a designer and I think they are one of the better designs I've seen in a long time.

Excellent demo 👌 covers all the important points 👏

[djguac]

I do love me a bit of scorpions... great vid man, always inspiring!

[albertoroberto]

Yamaha makes some of the best guitars out there!

[sotirios]

Yamaha guitars have come a long way. Take care of that wrist, believe me I know what it's like. ROCK ON.🎸

[AlenMustafic]

Superb guitar and playing. What strings gauge did you used for the demo?

[etihidalgogarrido]

The first time I saw this guitar was in another YT channel, of a guy playing black metal. Is intresting hou you put a lot of distortion and you can still listening the notes or chords you play.

[Cherry_Sunburst]

Great playing, great guitar...!!!
But meanwhile, there are many good and affordable guitars out,
which can make to a good Les Paul style guitar.
CHEERS.

[stevefisher]

My favorite guitar by far - I just wish they would come out with a "Chris Buck" version!!!
