Yamaha RS820CR Revstar, Steel Rust Overview
The arresting style of the Yamaha Revstar 820CR is directly inspired by the customised Café Racer motorcycles of 1960s London and Tokyo, with eye-catching accents like the hand-cut racing stripe finish, satin nickel hardware, and aluminum scratchplate. Custom-voiced VH5 Alnico V humbuckers designed by Yamaha Guitar Development provide warm, balanced tone, while the Dry Switch filter offers the option of brighter sound without the compromises of a coil tap. The design, sound, and playability reflect an attention to every detail that is the hallmark of Japanese craftsmanship. A deluxe gig bag is included.
