My favorite guitar player on YT.
Thank you John ✌️❤️
This is an adult thing for those who know what they want from sound and music. Great guitar for a great player.
✌️❤️
Love Jonathan's style and endless groove. Hope more people find his channel and appreciate his talent
Thank you ✌️❤️
music is not about how fast you can play notes, it's about melody and symbiotic harmony between the music and the solo. I guess a few YT can learn a thing or two listening to Jonathan playing this simple yet amazing melody
Thank you brother ✌️❤️
I recently rediscovered these. They’re absolute gems. Love them.
Thank you
When i saw it's Jonathan video i immediately clicked like, i missed s o much to watch normal videos and rev about guitars. Definitely one of the best if not the best YT channel.
Thank you brother 🤓✌
Clean and classic, no attention seeking gimmicks or overly fussy design. Gretsch and Yamaha have got it nailed...imo
Moosh 65 ✌️❤️
I've seen Chris Buck playing a Revstar with P90s; it sounds amazing. Great review Jonathan.
Thank you Lenny✌🤓
Yamaha make quality guitars, I've had two SG2000s and I'm so tempted in getting the green Revstar 502
as long as you keep doing these takes without tons of edits for your solos, ill keep upvoting. very impressive compared to many i see that have constant camera changes every few secs, given the amount of content you put out too
Bran Don thanks Bran... welcome to the channel ✌️❤️
I love my revstar! Amazing guitar for the price. The p90 tone is to die for
Nice!🤓✌
Just got the new one with p90s, Black with cream binding….INCREDIBLE guitar….endless gorgeous tones, and that neck,WOW…satin and not some bs thin neck, not huge either, it’s the best neck I’ve felt. Go get your hands on one dude
That thing is beautiful! Love the hardware!
Kurtis Rowe ✌️❤️
Great review! And awesome playing !
Glad you liked it!
You have a sublime touch and a great ear for melody,thank you
Thank you!
Brother that was some sweet, sweet playing. I like Yamaha guitars and, when they release it, I'm planning on purchasing the Pacifica 112V in the gray. But the more I hear the Revstar guitars played I'm liking them more and more. Your friends guitar is a good looking guitar. Sounds good too. Great video and, as always, beautiful playing Jonathan. I admire your fluidity in playing. You make it look so easy and nonchalant. Take care and GOD bless my friend. Stay well.
You too Mick!! Stay safe!!✌️❤️
Never met a bad Yamaha instrument! These are so underrated I feel. Always maintained I would rather have a Yamaha SG than a Gibson Les Paul, and these Revstars look like I might say the same thing about them or the Lower-priced Gibsons. Just as I will always recommend a Pacifica, over a more budget-friendly Squier or Fender Strat. Thank you Jonathan for confirming my bias!!!! Lovely playing as usual, the music you give us is always appreciated.
Thank you Ian!!!✌❤
That's some damn good playing. I have a standard 502 with no tailpiece, love it.
Thanks!! ✌❤
Just saw my first ever Revstar RS502, decided to investigate and now very happy that a trusted player like you, Jonathan, has a review. In fact, this very same Ash Grey and a Vintage Japanese Denim (cream/blue) both showed up when I searched.
Lovely guitar and great/enthusiastic demo.
Thank you Stephane ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud FYI, picked up RS502TFMX late yesterday.
What incredible aesthetics! Pictures do not do it justice. Fits a Scandinavian / Japanese modern vibe.
Have not played it, as it shows some fret sprout and likely needs to acclimate. The only odd thing is the tone put feels super loose and wobbly. Seems others have this issue.
Anyway, please thank Darrel, your Yamaha contact, for lending it to you for review. Word of mouth sales are the best.
stephane matis nice!✌️❤️
Really great review. Spectacular playing and the tone is to dye for. Wow. You don't love that guitar. That guitar loves you.!! Back to listening.... Thanks for posting this up. Just super in every regard.
Thank you Ron ✌️🤣
hi Joanthan. a fair and well-balanced review. your marvellous playing demonstrates this guitars' qualities.
Danke!! ✌️❤️
Hey Jonathan,thanks for the review I love Yamaha guitars
✌️❤️
I was after a 502 (the one without the tailpiece) for a very long time, but I ended up importing an Ibanez RC1720S from Japan for a bit more. Double P90 guitars are an awesome thing.
Thanks for this video!
You’re welcome✌️❤️
Oh no!
thanks for another great video Mr.Koh!!! I will be anxiously awaiting any new content when you have time between work and family life ! Cheers as always from Snowy frozen Canada
Thank you brother ✌🤓
Love the p90 sounds !!!
✌♥
Great tone and review, as always. Nice playing Jonathan and always a pleasure to see your videos!
Thank you ✌️❤️
Everything Yamaha manufactures is quality. This model is comfortable. Played one at a store. Gotta grab one when possible. Jeezy, your gonna bankrupt me! Thanks!
John Welch lol ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Forgive me Jonathan, I have and unrelated question. I play a few guitars with D'Addario Chromes. I really like the feel and tone. Do you have an opinion? Thanks!
THey are fine.. I played them before✌️❤️
I love these guitars. I have one in every finish in the 502 and 502t series.
Cool ✌️❤️
Thank you Jonathan! Love your channel and videos.
Thank you!! You have a great name there!!✌️❤️
Always tasty playing.
Thank you ✌️❤️
Beautiful playing jonathan, exactly what i wanted to hear from a 502t, which i just ordered a few days ago, thanks heaps mate
John Murray my pleasure John!!✌️❤️
Fantastic playing and fantastic tone!
Thank you
Congrats! Really tasty video and playing. I can't wait to have this 502 and an 802, really can't. Best of luck!.
Thanks so much!
Nice playing Jon. Beautiful guitar. I am learning about the differences between the versions of the revstar. But that tailpiece is killer
Thank you ✌️❤️
Awesome!!! want one!!!
✌️❤️
Just picked up a used rs502 w/wraparound bridge very nice guitar indeed.
Very nice indeed✌️❤️
Excellent playing and video! Great tone!
Thx for the info regarding the p90 gain structure - I was wondering about that, very useful 🖖
Cool✌️❤️
Thanks for all your guitar reviews, as usual enjoyed your musical abilities.
Mark Marigold it was a pleasure ✌️❤️
Another great video. I liked the sound of this guitar and the looks of it as well. Nice color. Unfortunately it is no longer available an Sweetwater. Also my PRS CE was delivered yesterday. I’ll get to it over the weekend after it settled from the cold weather in transit
Bob F nice ✌️❤️
Beautiful playing; very tasteful.the 🎶
Thank you ✌️❤️
Seems like all the goodies are made in Indonesia! Sweet guitar!
Including all the kueh kuehs ✌️❤️
You play that Yamaha so good, and I love the looks of that guitar 🎸
Thanks a lot! Dave
@@JonIsJustTooLoud just wanted to tell you, I watch everyone of your videos even if the product your reviewing that day doesn’t interest me because I enjoy your guitar playing so much, your my favorite guitar player on UA-cam 👍
Thank you Dave✌️❤️
Thank you for this test, very well done as usual : top.
My pleasure!
Nice review and lovely playing.
Thank you kindly!
Hi Jonathan, seems you're doing well. I did like the music and tones at 6:00, made me think of Pete Townshend playing his Naked Eye song on his SG Special with 2 P90 at Isle of Wight in 1970. On my side I got the Yamaha RS820CR, love the specific tones of their Alnico 5 humbuckers. Neck really comfy and easy to play, perfect build and finish from Indonesia
Nice!! ✌️❤️
That's an amazing guitar, and at 1:20, it even sounds like a banjo lol ;) !!!!!!
Another great review. Thanks Jonathan
Lol!!
Nice playing Jonathon. Quite a handsome guitar, and sounds nice too.
Yes it is!!✌️❤️
I loved that finish but can’t find it new anymore. I hope they bring it back.
I'm sure they will✌❤
Excelent! And beautifull guitar
✌️❤️
Looks like a guitar Issei Noro from Casiopea would enjoy playing. He is a guitar god for sure.
✌️❤️
Jonathon you are a great player. You made that Yamaha sing.
Thank you ✌️❤️
Sad to see less videos but glad that you'll be getting some work under yer belt!!!!!!🙉
Thank you brother ✌️❤️
Great playing and nice that you mention the neck being laminated. Should be tough and has the volute, too. It's too bad that these seem to be all out of stock for the model I'd like. I'll have to keep looking. And no, you can't really split a P90. You could tap it if it was wound in with a tap. But the dry switch is just a high pass tone control. A bass cut, that is. Something that's really useful with the bottom heavy P90's.
Thank you for sharing...✌❤
I have the 502T, really like it, just wonderful, except for the hum from the single coils. But in the middle position there is no hum, it's were I keep it in the main. My 502T is a keeper, better than the G alternative, so there's no need to spend the big bucks on the G brand when you have the 502T. BTW, you play wonderfully.
nevillegreg1 thank you ✌️❤️
wonderfull P90. I have been craving for some P90 for a while!
✌️✌️
I just got one of these. I got the Japanese Blue denim flame maple top with the cream coloured P90s.
Way to go!!! Are the P90s noisy?✌❤
No not too bad at all. Less than I thought they would be. The satin flamed maple top looks great. It certainly doesn’t look like an $800 (Australian) guitar. More importantly very nice to play and sounds great for the price.
Thanks for this test Jo. I saw a test drive of the Harley Benton fusion-t at your house, bought it, and I think it's great. I also want to buy the Revstar RS502T (Bowden Green), and I can also find it for testing at your place: THANKS, it's Christmas before its time ! Bye Jo.
Love your music!
Thank you so much ✌️❤️
Great job...Tim n Tina.
Thank you ✌♥
Great tool !!! Thanks for the review, Jonathan !!! As always, everything is great !!! 🎶👏👏👏🎸👍👍👍🤝👋✌️
✌️❤️
Wow, she is looking gorgeous and cries and whispers if you want her to. The tailpiece looks phenomeous. Without blingbling she caught my eyes! Thank you for showing, i did never see her so far. And to listen your playing brings me up. Please watch your Health, music lost a great drummer and Monty Phyton are only four left; i need you to enjoy my life. God bless you
Thank you Guenter!! You take care! Godbless!♥✌
Jonathan you are playing in way that I can hear guitar in so many positions. Buuuut Im a bit in suspicion if its not more about your playing then about guitar itsef 😊😁😁😁
Lol✌️❤️
What a really nice guitar I want to buy one great sound to
mr420in ✌️❤️
Excellent review with wonderful music, love the sound coming from those P90s. By the way, I watched this older video after watching the review of the Revstar 420 which is the model I own. As you have tried several models, do you have a favourite?
no i dont...✌♥
The Tailpiece works as aTremolo, if you press it !!!!!
Ya!! I dint think of it!!😝✌️❤️
Great video as usual, is the neck sticky?
No!✌♥
May your notes sing high as the song of a Skye Lark, and remember where the spirit of your music plays, so are we. :-)
✌️❤️
There are a lot of very nice "other" options at this price range ($1050) in the market place. Not sure this guitar is a good value when compared to the other options. Your playing, as always, is wonderful.
Thank you Tom ✌️❤️
I got this same guitar last year for $520 and see them generally for $650. I’m not sure where you are finding $1050?
At $650 this would be a wonderful purchase.
Yeah, around $600 is the correct price. There are higher models which are of course more expensive, RS6xx, RS7xx and RS8xx.
@@RainerK. It appears (from searching Yamaha's website usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_instruments/guitars_basses/el_guitars/rs/lineup.html) that the RS502TFMX (which is the guitar in this video) has an MSRP of $1025. Perhaps the confusion (as to the $600 price) is there is RS502FM (no "X") listed on Sweetwater Clearance for $649). I don't know the difference between the two guitars.
Wow! This will be in my GAS list.
👊😉
Jon your great playing makes any guitar sounds really good, what is the gauge chords you are using in this revstar? I saw your bendings quite elastic like using 8,5 or 9s..... i have been using 8.5 on my guitars and its feels so much confortable to play....
I believe it was 9s ✌❤
That was a standout review as I'm looking for a guitar with P90's.
I guess i'm done looking.
As a Line 6 Helix user, do you mind me asking what effects you used for the tone from 2:24 to 4:00.
Wow!! that brought out the feels.
Keep doing what your doing.
Thank you!!! I used 2 amps...check out my Helix video..

Hands down, Les Paul killer...
You think so?? ✌️❤️
sehr schön ! Grüße aus Ostdeutschland !
Danke!! ✌️❤️

Die Gitarre sieht gut aus!🤓✌
Hi Jon. Did you find these pick-ups had much humming?
Yes maybe a little.. they are p90s anyway..✌️❤️
Great sound and playing! I got the same guitar and am wondering how to clean smudges off the hardware?
Thank you!! Use autosol ✌️❤️
What made you choose having the tail over no tail? Thanks. Lovely playing.
Thank you I didn’t choose.. just wanted to review this range.✌️❤️
Amazing play 🔥
Thanks 🔥
Beautiful sound, beautiful playing. I know that P90 pick ups can be a bit noisy, how do you find these?
Well they are noisy when they are in high gain settings ✌️🤓
Hi Jonathan. I found this video while looking at reviews of the Revstar as I'm just about to purchase. Just a side question, do you have your presets available anywhere? Let me know, cheers from New Zealand!
I don’t have any for the Helix but these are from the HX stomp ..

@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thank you so much for replying! Looking forward to trying out your presets!
FYI, you could hand him a 6 string bologna sandwich and it would still sound awesome.
Claudio Trajtemberg lol!! I would finish it really fast!!!😋
Great playing and review. Question, have you played a PRS SE with soapbars?
If so, how does it compare with this Yamaha? Neck size/feel? Sound? Overall?
Thanks
No I have not sorry ✌️❤️
Revstar neck is much bigger
Great guitar. Great player not hidden with distortsion which covers a multitude of rubbish. Yamsha always make great things from pianos to motorbikes, There cheap guitars are a job to equal. You can play straight out of the box without cutting your hands.
Chris. Harfoot Thanks Chris!! yep.. agreed!
I subscribed..what had to be done out of the box to have maximum easy playbility?
Some basic setup.. like string height will suffice✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud basic setup..details please..or simple adjustments by you?
@@travelingman9763 basically simple setup. I do all these myself
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks!
Beautiful guitar and love the sound. Would you please share the name of the transmitter you use?
It’s the line 6 G10s
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thank you very much. Good to know what the pros use!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thank you. It helps to know what the pros are using.
This or a nice tele?
✌🤓
Nice sound. How is the playability?
Plays great✌♥

Does Yamaha make anything that isn’t awesome? I love my se300h 🎸and my 250 enduro 🏍 my line 6 stuff🎛 keyboards 🎹 my living room stereo ! What don’t they make 😂.talk about diversified investments 🤘🏽
✌️❤️
Koen Strobbe yea it’s sad that over 10% of the population gets shafted for using there right brain 🧠😞. Thanks corporate 😡
How heavy is it ? Ive picked up a few of these and they have always been ridiculously heavy .
Watch the video brother ✌️❤️
My RS 620 is heavy as a LP, more than 4kg.
Hahaha ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud It`s the truth.
Phil Frank I know it’s the truth... just kinda prove my theory that heavier guitars have better tones ✌️😝
What effect are u using for the solo that starts at 2:24 min It sounds great
it's my Line 6 Helix Native 🤓✌
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Are you using a preset If you which one ?
DensyL01 no I’m not
SG 3000 even it weights a ton way, way much betee tone than REV series
Yes.. I believe it does sound better✌️❤️
So, which one of the excuses did you choose to tell your wife for this guitar? :)
none! I dint buy it! Watch the video brother! 😜✌
I don’t like that finish. Looks like modern tiling in an overdone home.
lol!!
You are right. In general the finishes of this line are a bit bad.
@@brendangray there are some I really like. The vintage colours inspired by the cafe racer Yamaha bikes 🏍 are great.
