Our take on the Yamaha Revstar RSS02T Standard Electric Guitar

The Yamaha Revstar RSS02T Standard is a double-cut solid-body electric with a maple top over a chambered mahogany body, a 628 mm scale and a 41.9 mm PPS nut. It is the mid-tier Standard model in Yamaha's Revstar II line, aimed at players who want a lighter, resonant guitar with a vintage-leaning look. The chambered body cuts weight and adds a little acoustic ring. At $854.02 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it sits near the low end of its recent new-price range, with only 2 stores pricing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the Yamaha Revstar RSS02T worth it?
