Styled in a brushed teal blue finish, the Yamaha REVSTAR RS820CR is a solid-body electric guitar sporting a double-cutaway design with a small pickguard and a mahogany body with a maple top. A 22-fret rosewood fingerboard sits atop the mahogany neck, which measures 24.75" in scale. Strings are held in place by a TonePros AVT-II wraparound bridge. The body features a hidden forearm contour, a deep belly cut, and neck joint which allows for easier upper-fret access.
For electronics, the RS820CR is fitted with a pair of custom-wound VH5n+ and VH5b+ vintage-output humbucking pickups with satin nickel covers, along with a 3-way selector switch, and dual controls for master volume and master tone. The tone knob includes a push/pull dry switch to filter out low frequencies and bring out the punch and clarity of a true single-coil pickup without the hum or hollow tone often associated with split humbucking pickups. A gig bag is included.
