Pros

  • I'm probably sounding like a Yamaha shill, but my Revstar is my favorite guitar. ... It just feels right in my hands, fit and finish is great, playabilty is perfect, and I love the tone.
  • One of the few Original and new Design that doesn’t Look like shit
  • I like the design. It’s not trying to imitate anything else, and that’s what makes it stand out from all the Strat and LP-style guitars out there.
  • They look awesome IMO. I'd buy one in black if I could afford it.
  • As far as "modern" style guitars go that aren't super-strat-ish, I have a good feeling this shape is going to prove somewhat timeless. I bought one early 2023 (black and p-90's model) and it's my go guitar since.

Cons

  • I love my Revstar to death, but I’ve tried and tried to get any sort of good sound out of the boost, but it’s more of a treble cut than a mid boost.
  • I like it with p90s but not humbuckers. Idk why.
  • 2 things that are meh about this guitar; the boost switch is kinda useless and the tailpiece makes restringing slightly more a hassle than a standard tailpiece.
  • Not my thing.
  • I thought this was a Yamaha Revstar at first glance, looks very similar.

I love the design of the body, it is not too flashy but very satisfying overall. A definite "modern classic" sort of look that is familiar, yet not overly derivative like the million Strat clones out there.
