For my Presets visit: johnnathancordy.gumroad.com/ My feeling was that the Yamaha Revstar is quite similar to a Gibson Les Paul, with a few positive refinements in terms of weight and playability that I thought might make it worth a comparison....Here's that. Are new Gibsons still any good?

I bought the Revstar standard HH two months ago. It is truly amazing. the neck, the sound, the feel, it checks all the boxes.

@michael1 4 месяца назад

Odd choice to put SS frets on the middle model but not locking tuners. Perhaps an easy enough mod to make but even if they built the standard to a price point they could have stuck them on the professional model. Not the least because the professional model has little or nothing tangible to set it apart from the standard.

@dannysiacovouguitar Год назад

It would be more fair comparison if the Revstar was with humbuckers and not P90S, apart from that I think that the p90s compliment really nicely your style of playing, nice clarity and articulation :)

Love love love this video. Not sure about these things, but to me it would make better sense to compare a LES PAUL with P90s to a Revstar with P90s and a LES PAUL with Humbuckers with the Revstar with Humbuckers. The Revstar with Humbuckers definitely has a warmer tone. There I said it. haha. My next guitar will probably be the Revstar with the Humbuckers. I just can't find one to try out. They are so popular that none of the stores have them on the walls.

Just get a twin humbucker model and slap in a humbucker sized P90. Even P-Rails with the special frame to select between humbucker series/parallel, single, p90 would work if you don't mind its look.

@danielbell4007 2 года назад

@@andreil1234 Yes and no. The sound is not totally the same, plus the aesthetic is a big part of it. Yamaha already makes at least 2 models of their Pacifica line in that same configuration, so it shouldn't be a stretch. It's not everyones cup of tea, but with multiple brands offering the soapbar/HB configuration, it must be popular enough.

Have a revstar standard with P90s, it's ridiculously good and addictive. For the money it's ridiculous I don't think anything compares.

@@johnnathancordy I guess they still apply more carefoul sourcing on the materials for their MIJ stuff, as well as that IRA treatment that's supposed to make them feel more broken in / relaxed / played. Pickups and hardware or electronics do not seem different, so it must be the overall materials quality and the craftmanship plus that spa treatment of theirs. I too am insterested if you find some details since this time around the price gap is quite huge for what apparently isn't that much of a difference. The indonesian made guitars are notorious for their often not quite dry wood and sometimes iffy finish colors and layers, but apart from the fact I've seen two Revstars with dead notes (G octave thereabouts on actually both) to me they seem more or less the same as PRS SE. On the other hand I've also seen dirt cheap older japonese guitars made of plywood that felt really better to play and hond than guitars ten times their price :) Who knows.

FWIW, my 2017 Classic T Les Paul was/is flawless, great QC, frets etc. I definitely agree the Revstar feels more like playing an LP, but with advantages of an SG. I don't think you sacrifice in between tones on the Revstar. Opposite in fact.

@jamesgrobertson8024 2 года назад

Very interesting you say the Rev sacrifices the in-between tones because for me the middle position is very important for quality funk tones & of course other rhythm styles. Great comparison dude they are both great guitars anyhow.

I meant the kind of sounds where you can turn down the neck pickup/treble pickup - the in between pickup options on the Rev are super useful - sorry I wasn't very clear with what I was saying!

As soon as that guy stepped up with the les paul everyone was immediately on their feet and cheering. It just blows through the mix with a massive sound

@JohannesLabusch 2 года назад

Great playing! Well, I was expecting this to be a comparison between a humbucker equipped Revstal and a Paul. That seems to be the configuration anybody looking for a "working man's Les Paul" would go for, no? Also, I may have missed it, but I didn't hear you mention price. You can get the high end Made in Japan Rev for 2000$, but the 800$ certainly seems up to any task you can throw at it. You can't find a decent Gibson for that price, even used. I think when all is said and done, the main thing the Gibson still has going for it is that it's so darn pretty.

@ksharpe10 Год назад

@lightonthelandscape 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comparison. Nicely done. I have an older LP Custom 1979 Kalamazoo model which I like very much weighing in at just under 9lbs. However, I did try a Revstar the other day in a music store. The $1000 Canadian Dollar Revstar was not that great (could have been the set up though), but the $2500 version was really nice. The fretboard was so nice. Just wondering which one you have? The expensive version or cheaper version?

@captainlurk9380 4 месяца назад

I just bought a Revstar and am waiting for it to show up. My steady girlfriend is my Gibson Les Paul Custom Axcess w Floyd Rose , I don't think she will get too jealous if I play around with the Revstar . The Axcess is built to give axcess to the higher notes and with the Silver Burst it pretty much rules my entire collection , BUT I still play the others a lot . The Revstar with the stripes got my eye and Sweetwater said the Revstar will resemble my Les Paul .

Just returned the RSS02t in Sunset Burst for a RSS20 in Flash Green. I like the humbuckers more, even though the Sunset Burst and the tailpiece on the 02T were totally pissa. I had an issue that I fixed with the RSS20; The signal was completely cutting out intermittently. It turned out to be that the factory used shielding paint in the tight output jack hole and because it's so tight in there, if the jack isn't positioned just right on the jack plate, the signal can short out on the paint (that's why I hate shielding paint). I immediately threw out the cheap Korean single-sprung jack, removed what shielding paint I could with sandpaper, lined the jack hole with electrical tape and installed a Switchcraft #11 jack. I used heat shrink on the solder connections. Problem solved.

Just got myself a Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s Faded which I like very much. I prefer the satin finish and the sound of the 60s Burstbucker over that of the 50s Burstbucker 1 and 2; it is much clearer and thus gives you more options with the tone controls. This being said, I would never buy a Gibson without trying it first, even though the quality control is supposedly better nowadays. I do love my new Les Paul, but I must admit that the attention to detail is lacking compared to other less costly instruments like my Godin Summit Classic Convertible Gold HG; it is night and day. For the same attention to detail, would I need to spend 5K for a Custom Shop or more for a Murphy Lab? It does not make any sense. I would not be surprised at all if the Yamaha Revstar was superior in terms of quality and consistency, even the Standard model.

After playing my brother in law's Gibson SG I wanted a new humbucker guitar and after watching many reviews about the Revstar Standard I went ahead and bought one with the humbuckers. The fit and finish is great however my feelings about the sound are still pending. The Revstar sounds somehow more robotic than the Les Paul's creamy heavy tones. Neither guitar sounds muddy if the pickup height is set correctly. If you are trying to get a Les Paul sound out of the Revstar I haven't found it. But that doesn't mean it isn't a great playing guitar and a better feeling guitar than the Les Paul. The gibson Les Paul is legendary for a reason, that classic rich dark creamy rock sound only seems to come from some Les Paul's if you are lucky enough to get a good one. I am sure I will find a tone that I like on my Revstar with more messing around.

I would choose Revstar over LesPaul any day and every day. I played a lot of LPs and somehow I am not a great fan of it. LP has a beautiful warmer and fuller tone, but the instrument's weight makes it not playable for a long time. I do not want to pick up my LPs to play them because of the heavyweight. Revs solves that. In addition, the p90s are very underrated.

Great review !! Do you fell some fret scratchiness when bending, even though they are MIJ SS frets ? I do, and it's the one deception about my rsp02T

Feel. Ya that’s interesting. Are you still finding this to be the case ?

@patledoc Месяц назад

@@benallmark9671 well it's better, but not the glassy effect I'm expecting ...which is rare to obtain to be honest (only encounterd this on a PRS in store)

LP sounds better in this video to my opinion

Yamaha should replace the tone push/pull with a concentric tone control so you could separately adjust the tone on both pickups.

Nice comparison, i loved the revstar. One question, does the p90 have 60 cycle hum?

@Glensully 2 дня назад

Gibson for the look and heritage

3 points i would make 1. For me between these, it is the LP all day every day. There is a midrange that the Revstar doesnt quite have (i get this is not exactly apples for apples with P90s and buckers) I would really like to try a Rev though and i expect i would really like it, but being of the vintage that grew up on a steady diet of Led Zep and the like from that era it just sounds and looks so cool. 2. John i cant recall if you have covered this on other vids, but does your LP have 50’s wiring or modern? i really think 50’s wiring offers a really good range of tones once you get used to how the controls interact, and then paired with perhaps some lower output PAFs would probably reduce some of the muddiness you mention, worth a look at ‘cause that LP of yours is killer. 3. Yes Gibson is still making some great guitars, sure they have made some really poor ‘marketing’ decisions in the last few years and became an easy (possibly somewhat deserved) target for haters (i’m sure the quality control complaints are not without some basis either) but i have a 2021 60’s Standard LP that straight out of the box is hands down one of the best playing guitars i’ve ever seen (maybe i got lucky?)

The RS neck is a little chunkier than the LP 60s.

I like having a Les Paul because it's the sound on the records. But it would be frustrating to me as a primary guitar. I'd rather have a modern design, still yet to play a revstar but I do like my DGT a lot. As you get towards the mid 00s you start to lose the quality improvements that the 90s had. Quality today is... Oof. I can't live with their electronics and so I would have to factor a harness and pickups into the purchase price. Oh and completely unrelated but I just added the pink Suhr Mateus Asato SIG strat to my collection. I think you'd enjoy it but I do know Suhrs are hard to track down and probably impossible to borrow.

Gibson CS making the best guitars they ever have these days but the prices are disconnected from what you get. Those Murphy guitars are as much as a Bartlett or a Knaggs or Yaron and you're never gonna convince me that site unseen I should buy a Gibson over one of those
