This Guitar Has SCIENCE Inside! | Yamaha Revstar ft. @KrenarCilkuGuitar

Guitar design can be scientific - Yamaha use 3D simulations, modal analysis and vibrational testing to design their Revstar range, implementing interesting chambering and carbon reinforcement to achieve a specific sound and performance.

Yamaha has always been top notch in my book. basses, pianos, guitars, amps, drums, cars, bikes, I mean these guys are on top of their game and have been for the past 80 yrs or more

I see a scotsman on a sun lounger in actual sun, I click like. Once, maybe twice in a lifetime experience.

Yamaha is the People’s instrument company. They’ve been making fantastic affordable instruments forever. Still make the best sounding drum set for under a grand too. Even their entry level acoustic solid tops are great. $250 gets you an incredibly good sounding and playing dreadnaught. I’ve had my eye on these Rev Stars for a while.

the best thing about this guitar is that even if you dont believe or care about the chambering science, the price pretty much matches with any other normal guitar that doesnt have this feature anyway

Absolutely love the Revstar. It's hand's down one of the most underrated guitars out there.

Colin! Thanks for having me on, mate! It was an absolute blast doing this; hope to see you soon and have fun in the Philippines, cheers! P.s sorry for saying "dry switch" instead of "focus switch"... my bad...😅

Krenar really makes the guitars come alive with such a beautiful voicing.

When you remember how Yamaha is a masterful source of high level tuning in everything from exhaust systems to concert piano's, it's easy to understand how that experience, and technology would translate into their guitars, as well.

The Revstar's a guitar I've only been aware of for a short while, mainly because Chris Buck plays one and he's a pisstakingly good player so it definitely piqued my interest. This is pretty damn cool - absolutely overkill but overengineering the shit out of things is fun

Colin, A few folks have taken apart the Revstar (in particular Phil McKnight). The boost seems to be done with a transformer to increase the output voltage (higher voltage at higher impedance). The only drawback is that loading in your pedals or amp may muddy up the high end.

I have a previous gen Rev Star with humbuckers and have to say it's a shockingly good guitar with a very unique and distinctive sound. The fretwork is great, build quality is great, they're balanced and comfortable to play. It was really cool to see what the chambering looks like inside and the process they use to design the guitar. Cheers!

I got one of these for my birthday a couple months ago, my absolute favorite guitar to play. I got the standard model with humbuckers in white, and my god I love it. It’s such a classy looking instrument, and those stainless steel frets are something else.

I love the "I don't play with gain very often" into ripping a sweet Eric Johnson lick combo.

I Just received mine. Absolutely worth every penny! Killer design, balance, feel and above all TONE!

I like how he sounds with gain. He's a natural.

The smile while playing the P90 model says it all! Both the humbucker and the P90 models are exquistite imstruments! Thanks for sharing!

Legit, the Revstar range are some of the nicest guitars on the market today. Those necks are immaculate.

I'm an engineer and work in the aerospace industry. This kind of 3D stress modeling is used ALL the time there. So I'm happy to see a guitar builder apply the same tools and concepts to achieve a particular end. I'm surprised that there aren't more guitar companies already doing this. I've always admired the design of the Revstar. This video gives me one more reason to pick one up someday.

Yamaha is absolute on the top of world, Piano, Drums, Synthesizer, DAW, Mixers, Monitors, Guitar/Bass, Motorcycle, Electronics, etc. even if Yamaha release a Dishwasher, I'm gonna buy it.
