Yamaha Revstar RSS02T Sonic Blue

Powerful & Versatile Tone

The Revstar Standard comes fitted with a pair of proprietary VP5 Alnico V P90 pickups. Alnico V has a punchier tone than Alnico II, giving it a fat clean tone and raunchy overdrive. P90s are often described as the perfect balance between single-coils and humbuckers. Because P90s are technically single-coils in construction, they share many characteristics — they clean up beautifully for an articulate sound with incredible dynamic range. Where it resembles a humbucker is in its output. P90s are wound around a wider surface area than a standard single-coil, and so can accommodate more winds, bringing its output inline with a vintage P.A.F style humbucker. The P90 truly does it all!

What's more, with the push-pull "Focus Switch" you can engage a passive boost to give your pickups some extra grit for when you really want to push your sound over the edge!
