The Yamaha Revstar Element RSE20 strips the Revstar formula back to the essentials – the same caf-racer looks and chambered mahogany body as the rest of the range, with a simpler control layout for players who want a straightforward two-humbucker electric.

Two Yamaha-designed VH3 Alnico V humbuckers are wired to a 3-way switch with master volume and master tone, plus a push-pull Dry Switch on the tone control that engages a high-pass filter for a brighter, tighter sound without the noise or output drop of a conventional coil split.

This RSE20 is finished in Vintage White, with a Rosewood fingerboard and Tune-O-Matic bridge.
