gauge wire that gives the pickup 25 percent more output. The bridge pickup registers at 10k ohms, along the lines of a P-90, making it a very strong single coil. The single coil in the neck registers at 8.5k ohms. In addition to the distinct pickups, the wiring has been modified with a specific set of CTS and Bourne pots and a Mojotone Dijon cap creating a better, cleaner signal. A push-pull feature has also been added to reverse the phase and give additional tone options.

YAMAHA REVSTAR
The Revstar is Yamaha’s first line of new guitars in about 10 years. Yamaha spent years perfecting the Revstar solid-body electric guitars by seeking input from professional guitarists and experts around the world. The line includes seven models that exude a hip, sexy vibe reminiscent of the café racer style of motorcycles that influenced 1960’s Tokyo and London.
The model’s sleek body contours are enhanced with a selection of stunning colors and finishes. All the models feature hand-wound pickups and materials complement each model's character, and six of the models feature a proprietary dry switch that provides the versatility of a coil split.
