■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/bobbin combination. This resulted in the distinctive sound that is unique to REVSTAR.

The RS502 is equipped with VP5 pickups. Featuring a P-90 Anilco V magnet and a German silver baseplate, the REVSTAR delivers an exquisite balance between the clear, sharp sound typical of single-coil pickups and a thick, warm tone.

■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 tone. 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. The unique pickups, unique copper pickguard, and aluminum tailpiece all contribute to the stylish design.

Body processing for comfortable playability
The REVSTAR, with its unique appearance and sound, also strives for 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 securely to the player's body, 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 the upper positions, and combines natural, comfortable playability with high durability. The RS502 features a slightly thicker neck with jumbo frets, producing a satisfying, powerful sound.
