# Yamaha RSE20 Revstar Element Electric Guitar
The Yamaha RSE20 Revstar Element is a versatile electric guitar inspired by café racer motorcycles, combining distinctive styling with comfortable playability and powerful sound. It features a chambered mahogany body with a gloss polyurethane finish. Yamaha's Acoustic Design approach helps reduce the guitar's weight while enhancing resonance, delivering a clear and full-bodied tone. Its three-piece mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a comfortable playing experience.
The guitar is equipped with two Yamaha VH3 Alnico V humbucking pickups, delivering warm, powerful and well-balanced tones suitable for different musical styles. The three-position pickup selector allows players to choose between the neck pickup, bridge pickup or both pickups together. The master tone control features a push-pull Dry Switch high-pass filter, which produces brighter and more articulate tones without the additional noise or power reduction associated with conventional coil-splitting circuits.
The RSE20 features 22 jumbo frets, a 24¾-inch scale length and a 12-inch fingerboard radius for smooth and comfortable playing. Its Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide stable string support, while die-cast tuning machines help maintain reliable tuning. The cream three-ply pickguard on selected finishes adds to its distinctive appearance. The guitar is suitable for practice, recording and live performances.
