NGD yamaha
The Yamaha Revstar RS502 arrived today. Guitar was well packed and the package content was warm when it arrived. I took an hour to open it up completely.
First impressions so I'll be short. Every component to the guitar is top shelf. Machine heads are outstanding. Wrap around tailpiece is impressive. The neck feels different. It's a chunk for my smallish hands and bad thumb. Fret work is flawless and the jumbo frets are not obnoxious as I had feared. Its a great neck and playability out of the box is very good. P90 pickups are lively.!! Man. This thing would cut through a vault door if there was music inside. They are impressive and will take some time to grow accustomed to. I would say this is truly a..... Lead Guitar. Very clean and articulate tone. I have to say the the upper frets are in play.!! The carving around the set-in neck is Superb.!! I placed my hand over the frets at the joint and my pinky was directly over the A string at the 21st fret. No stretch what-so-ever. That is... Impressive. The aged binding is incredible. It grew on me over a few hours. When I first pulled the guitar out of the decent gig-bag the only thing I was impressed with was the hardware and the headstock. Billet Green is sort of gray and toned way back. Now, I see a gorgeous guitar in every way. Frankly, it looks antique to me. Satin hand-brushed finish with that aged binding makes it look 30 years old, in perfect condition. Just beauty and simplicity all wrapped in one. I love it. So far..... (wish i knew how to post a picture off of Imgur. this site won't accept the https:// tag)

I find it easiest to post pics using the Tapatalk app. Here's my (highly modded) Pac012. I used the medium size rendering and uploaded this photo from my phone.
Congrats on the guitar! I can't wait to see it. Is yours heavy?

Note. As far as Imgur just click on the photo on your "images" page (the one with all your images showing as 1 inch thumbnails ) When the individual photo page opens with all the links on the right side .... (If you have pre sized the photo before upload ) Just click the BBCode blue "Copy" button and then just hit your paste command in your AGF message box .. done (Or if you have not pre sized it) Then go to the bottom right int the "Sizes" box and click "Huge Thumbnail" and then copy the BBCode then and paste that in your message box and this is what you get. (if you try it and are still having issues, if you like I can post a pictorial step by step, post in this thread )

Fantastic! I'm not familiar with the Revstar so I checked it out on MF. Looks like a tone monster ... and P90s can really rock.

Happy NGD 3notes I'm looking forward to the photos as well.
Those Revstars with P90s are really nice. I think I need a P90 guitar myself one day.

Houston.... We have no problem. Test 1,2,3 Test 1,2 Test Yes.!! Piece of cake. What I did different was right click on the picture rather choosing the URL . I think I'm golden.
Thanks for helping me Chickee. And others too. Super. You see here that I put a layer of satin black over the pickguard and then I lightly sanded it down to match the headstock. I hit the edges with a Sharpie to give them a gloss look. It matches pretty well but I lost the 3-ply effect.

Outstanding! Glad you figured out the pics. Once we get it, we wonder why we ever had trouble.
Congratulations! |

This shows the beautiful set-in neck. Every fret on the board is easily accessed. Real comfortable.

I love that wrap around bridge! I need that one for my Weddington Classic. Very cool looking guitar. Nice strap too.
