Revstar RSS02T El.Gtr Blk

• Chambered Mahogany Body — The innovative chambering pattern was developed using advanced measurement and modelling tools to specifically sculpt tone and increase resonance while lowering weight.
• 3-Piece Mahogany Neck with Carbon Reinforcement — Multi-piece/carbon design yields amazing rigidity; dramatically improving tuning stability.
• Satin Neck Finish — Provides a slippery, non-sticky feel for fast playability.
• Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets — Large size offers a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends. Stainless steel material is corrosion-resistant and harder to wear down than conventional fret-wire.
• Alnico V P90s — Proprietary pickups deliver the clear, upper mid-range bite that you'd expect from classic P90s.
• Passive Push/Pull 'Focus Switch' — A passive boost function that evokes the sound of overwound pickups.
• 5-Way Pickup Switching — A circuit that puts a new twist on coveted "in between" sounds.

The pairing of Mahogany body and Maple top has been a classic wood combination for electric guitars since 1952, and for good reason. Mahogany has a warm character with a full and rich mid-range and subdued treble; offering a thick, smooth tone. This is balanced with the Maple top, which adds brightness and top-end clarity. In combination, they produce a full and rounded tone with chunky lows, punchy mids and crisp highs.

Effortless Playability & Performance

The neck of a guitar is your main point of contact, so how it feels can make or break a guitar. The Revstar Standard has a comfy 3-piece Mahogany neck with a satin finish. Satin finishes are beloved by guitar players for their silky-smooth feel that allows you to fly effortlessly up and down the neck without it feeling sticky. The neck is reinforced with carbon too, allowing the neck to stay totally rigid even with changing climates and weather conditions; making it extremely resistant to warping or bowing.

The neck is topped with a Rosewood fingerboard. Rosewood has a velvety-soft feel that simply glides under the fingers, and it adds warmth and mid-range to the tone that smooths out the high-end for a raunchy, warm tone.

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!
