Help Me Decide The Colour: My New Yamaha Revstar RSS20L

Post by FuzzMonkey »

I'm planning on getting one of the new Yamaha Revstar Standard guitars but need some help deciding what colour to get. Since it will be a left-handed model, there are only two colours to choose from thankfully; Black or Swift Blue.

I'm naturally drawn to, and currently leaning towards the Black version. But the Swift Blue just looks so darn cool!

Thanks in advance for the input/opinions.

Yeah definitely blue. Don't listen to Beeg: he still likes tweed.

Only thing I find off-putting about the blue is that the pickguard doesn't quite match the racing stripes - seems more parchment/yellow. Hard to tell what it would look like in person or how it would age.

But you can't go wrong, these look awesome.

I'd go the black, but I reckon it depends a lot on your personal style.

Blue
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Dunno. My ears can’t tell which colour sounds better.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Tough decision, as both look cool. The blue looks a bit more subtle, whereas the black looks tougher.

Revstars are sexy.
