RS02CB HONEY GOLD [Grade B Outlet Special]

The “RS02CB,” the first signature model in the REVSTAR series, was developed in collaboration with guitarist Chris Buck. Chris Buck is a guitarist acclaimed worldwide for his supple touch and soulful expression. His playing style has been shaped in tandem with the Yamaha Revstar. The RS02CB is a faithful reproduction of the custom model he has relied on to craft his sound—from South Wales, UK, to stages around the world.
Co-developed P90-Style Custom Pickup At the heart of the “RS02CB” lies a special P90-style pickup co-developed with Chris. “There’s nothing better than the sound of this wonderful P90-style pickup. It’s dynamic and responsive—a true bridge between acoustic resonance and electric sound,” says Chris. Deliberately tuned for lower output, this pickup was designed through numerous prototypes, from the number of coil windings down to the selection of magnets. This delivers a clear and nuanced response at low volumes and a powerful, open tone when driven. It offers a wide range of natural expressiveness that responds to the player’s touch.
Body Chambered Based on “Acoustic Design” The body, designed based on Yamaha’s proprietary “Acoustic Design” process—which makes full use of acoustic analysis—features optimal chambering that achieves both a rich resonance and reduced weight. Furthermore, the use of a carbon-reinforced neck enhances strength and stability. The result is a well-balanced guitar that’s perfect for the stage.
Wrap-Around Bridge: The “RS02CB” features a wrap-around bridge inherited from Chris’s original custom model. This structure transmits string vibrations directly to the body, maximizing the instrument’s natural resonance. It delivers the organic response—responsive to the player’s touch—that Chris relies on during live performances.
Design Faithfully Reproduced from the Custom Model From the body color (Honey Gold) to the volume and tone knobs (amber hat knobs) and the fretboard position marks, this guitar faithfully reproduces Chris Buck’s own custom model. The signature on the back of the headstock symbolizes Chris’s deep attachment to this guitar, which has traveled the world with him. The following is a message from Chris Buck: “Since I first got my hands on my Custom Shop Revstar in 2020, it has remained at the center of every piece I’ve created and every stage I’ve performed on.It’s been with me everywhere I go—a companion that has literally traveled the world with me, from Cairo to California. The phrase ‘work done with soul’ may be a bit overused these days. However, this project—on which I’ve worked closely with Yamaha over the past few years to recreate my guitar—truly embodies the true meaning of those words. Seeing the finished product fills me with genuine excitement. Even though it’s based on my guitar, this is ‘yours.’”
