■YGD Pickups
Equipped with pickups specially developed to bring out the unique character and harmony of each model. Over 50 prototypes were created, and repeated trial and error was carried out to find the optimal sound for each model, including the type of coil wire, winding method, and magnet and bobbin combination. This resulted in the distinctive REVSTAR sound that is unlike any other.

The RS420 is equipped with VH3 pickups. Featuring an Alnico V magnet and a German baseplate, the REVSTAR features a powerful, mid-range-emphasized, and resilient sound.

■Dry Switch
The REVSTAR features a unique dry switch passive filter circuit. While maintaining the traditional coil structure, the dry switch naturally cuts low frequencies. It's ideal for expressing a clear, bright tone and delicate nuances while reducing noise and delivering powerful sound. Unlike cutting the low frequencies with an amplifier, it delivers a natural sound with clear separation of each individual note.

■Original Hardware
Inspired by the ""café racer"" motorcycle customization style that began in London in the 1960s, the REVSTAR's hardware also features parts that evoke the unique look and feel of motorcycles. From the unique pickups to the distinctive copper pickguard and aluminum tailpiece, the stylish design is enhanced.

■Body Finish for Comfortable Playability
The REVSTAR boasts a unique look and sound, but it also offers comfortable playability. The back contour is deeply carved to fit the body, while the elbow contour is carved with exquisite balance. (Featured on some models only) It fits the player's body securely, ensuring comfortable playability even during long live performances.

The neck features a newly developed set neck joint. This allows for a natural playing feel even when playing in high positions, combining natural and comfortable playability with high durability. The RS420 features a slim neck with medium frets for comfortable playability.
