The RS20MM is a production signature model developed in collaboration with Matteo Mancuso. "I choose Revstar because it's rare to find a solid body that has so much flexibility for jazz and rock. I can achieve every sound I need thanks to the chambered body and the 5-way selector switch, plus it's super comfortable to play." It recreates the aesthetic and playing feel of his custom Revstar, translating his approach into a guitar designed for clarity, control, and balance. Every specification is selected to support precision and consistency across a wide range of playing styles.
- Sound
- The RS20MM is equipped with DiMarzio® PAF® 36th Anniversary pickups, redesigned based on vintage PAF specifications. Their softer magnetic pull allows the strings to vibrate more freely, producing long sustain and a highly expressive pick response. This dynamic clarity is complemented by locking tuners, ensuring stable tuning and reliable performance in demanding playing situations.
- Chambered Body with Acoustic Design
- Using the Yamaha-exclusive Acoustic Design process, the RS20MM’s chambered body enhances tone while reducing weight, while a carbon-reinforced neck adds strength and stability. The result is a guitar that’s perfectly balanced, resonant, and built for the stage.
- Focus Switch - 5-Way Switching
- The push/pull tone control functions as a FOCUS SWITCH, activating a passive boost that emulates overwound pickups — darker highs, enhanced mids and lows for more aggressive tone. In addition, the 5-WAY SWITCHING system introduces a subtle phase shift in positions 2 and 4 by slightly delaying the opposite pickup, offering a fresh take on classic “in-between” sounds.
- Aesthetics
- The RS20MM captures the refined visual character of Matteo Mancuso’s custom Revstar. A Vintage Sunburst flame‑maple top is paired with all‑gold hardware for a distinctive, elegant look. Matteo’s signature on the truss‑rod cover and a logo inlay at the 12th fret confirm its identity as his official signature model.
