NGD: Yamaha Revstar RS502T

[Sp8ctre]

...I had some items that wouldn't sell so I worked out a trade with a guy I know on another forum. We do a lot of buying, selling and swapping from each other. Here is what I got! Yamaha Revstar RS502T in a nice dark green.

After some research I found out the bridge is spring loaded in some fashion. When you press on it with your palm you get vibrato.

Thanks, I've wanted one of these since they first came out, but didn't want to pay retail! I got a sweet deal on this one.

Dude! The guitar showed up and crap...I don't think I'm going to be able to flip it...it's so nice and it feels great. The tuners are smooth as silk.
Maybe it's just NGD excitement? We'll see...I have three days off to test it out.

Awesome when that happens. My best guitars come from something I bought to flip or mod but decided they were just too nice and kept them.

Nice look'n guitar. I've looked at those a few different times.

Congrats on the deal/find!
I’ve been tempted by a variant, or two, of that model.

Dont know WHY I wondered away from Yamaha-- the Dark SIde of GIBSON lured me with cookies --- and lies of improved playing prowess -- and groupies----

Ive not played a Yama of late that wasnt at least FUNCTIONAL -- even a LOW END Pacifica recent Pawn SHop noodle had me going -- hey -- these dont suck....

Their bass products are stellar with the BB series being very well respected.

I've always wondered what these are like, especially the P90 with bound neck - my favourite looking one of the range.

Waiting for a detailed review.

I thought you owned the ones with the engines on them.

 

[Sp8ctre]

Here are a few pics...I can't get a good shot of the green color on the body, it's really dark.
