Yamaha Revstar RS502-TFMX

Post by Orlando Colom »

Here is a killer guitar for the money. Its a limited edition Revstar RS502TFMX. Its in the light grey finish, with
a nice maple flame-top. If you love p90's, a killer 59 carve neck, and an all around great looking, and sounding guitar. This is it!
I have too may guitars, and not enough time to play them. Most of them, being vintage, so they aren't going anywhere.
Thus this one is for sale. Its in like new condition, though its light use at home only. Someone is going to love this one,
as its a good one, and deserves to be played. Its a light one to at 8.2 pounds.
Will ship in a decent new gig bag. I can tell you without hesitation, it will take a $1500+ guitar to get close to the value these are. It’s that good!
$575.00 Shipped.(sold )

I have the same guitar and it's a hidden gem. The push/pull switch on the tone knob is a nice feature. Also, adjusting the tailpiece up a bit changes the tension of the strings. I get a 335 vibe with the neck pickup.

Hope she goes to a good home.

I agree with you. It has a 335 vibe depending on the tailpiece set up, though it does the p99 thing too with nice beefy tones.
It’s a killer for the money, and it’s gorgeous too.

Hi Orlando, What's the neck like? Fat, thin, "C" shape? :?:

The neck is a fat C. Reminds me of 50's Gibson necks. Its not small or Fender sized at all. its a 1 11/16 nut width.
