NGD: My Left-Handed Yamaha RSS20L Revstar Standard

Post by FuzzMonkey »

Well, technically it was last Friday. But have only just managed to find time to take a quick photo and share it with you guys.

I went for the black in the end over the Swift Blue. Plays like dream and I'm REALLY happy with it. Well worth the wait!

Love the look of these. What's the fretwork and tuning stability like?

I'm waiting for the pro version being mistaken for a standard on Cashies. :D

No. Just a slightly better version of me I'm afraid.

I loved the look of these when they were first released in 2015. But there weren't any left-handed versions then. I can't fault any aspect of the guitar. The frets are super well done and the tuning stability is first-class. I am just getting used to an Alnico 5 pickups after using my LTD with a Alnico 2 P.A.F.-style pickup in the bridge.

Thanks. I imagine if a Pro version turns up at Cash Converters it would be hotter than the Sun.
