The Revstar Standard in Hot Merlot features P90-style, single-coil pickups with 5-way switching and the Focus Switch boost, with a custom racing tailpiece.
- Chambered Body with Acoustic Design
- Revstar Standard guitars feature chambered bodies designed to sculpt tone and reduce weight with carbon reinforcement in the neck to improve vibration transfer.
- 5-Way Switching
- With the same 5-way switching as Revstar Professional, the subtle phase shift on positions 2 and 4 offer a fresh take on classic “in-between” sounds.
- Focus Switch
- The push/pull Tone control activates a passive boost with an effect similar to overwound pickups—darker highs, increased mids and lows, and an aggressive character.
