When I saw Imelda May this year one of her guitarists was alternating a Revstar and a strat. No idea which model though.
@riffpowers yeah I've been using one for a while. I used to work for Yamaha so there was an amount of brand pride involved but to be honest, I still play them now. My real Les Paul was simply a backup for the Revstar.
The tour I was playing on I was using an RS820 and an RS502T. Every model has a very different sound and somewhat different feel but those 2 were what were needed for what we were doing.
For proper Les Paul tones, the 2 favourites are the 620 and 820. 620 has that more "vibey" open vintage sound and the 820 has a much more thick and ballsy modern sound. With the dry switch on, it goes into a nice P90 kinda sound so you can get a Junior thing happening as well.
As has been said before, really well made and punch well above their weight for the price point.
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
So if i'm looking for something with the aggressive punch of an lp custom, which ones should I try??

Its been playing on my mind ever since. If it had a Bigsby instead of a hardtail, I would have bought it.
