Introducing the RS02CB, a remarkable guitar crafted in close collaboration with acclaimed guitarist Chris Buck. This instrument faithfully captures the sound and feel of his custom Revstar, featuring P90 style pickups precisely voiced to his unique taste. With a wraparound bridge, a chambered body, and a carbon-reinforced neck, the RS02CB delivers the distinctive tone, resonance, and balance that are hallmarks of Chris's playing.

Chris Buck, an internationally renowned guitarist, is celebrated for his fluid touch and soulful expression, a style honed around the Yamaha Revstar. The RS02CB is a faithful recreation of his beloved custom model, representing the very essence of his sound, which has resonated from South Wales to stages across the globe. Developed in close collaboration with Chris, this guitar brings the tone, feel, and character of his playing to every guitarist seeking to elevate their musical expression.

At the heart of the RS02CB lies a specially voiced P90 style pickup, meticulously developed with Chris. He describes it perfectly: “There’s honestly nothing better than the sound of a great P90 style pickup—dynamic, responsive, and the truest conduit between the acoustic resonance of the guitar and its electric voice.” By refining coil windings and selecting specific magnets, the pickup is tuned for slightly lower output, allowing for a clear, detailed response at lower volumes and a strong, open tone when pushed. This design enables a wide, natural range that powerfully reflects the player’s touch.

Utilizing Yamaha’s exclusive Acoustic Design process, the RS02CB features a chambered body that enhances tone while reducing weight, complemented by a carbon-reinforced neck that adds strength and stability. The result is a guitar that boasts perfect balance, resonant sound, and robust build quality, making it ideal for the stage.

The RS02CB is equipped with a wraparound bridge inspired by Chris’s original custom model. This direct string-to-body design maximizes resonance, providing players with the same organic response that Chris counts on during every performance.

Visually, the RS02CB mirrors Chris Buck’s custom Revstar with its stunning Honey Gold finish, amber hat knobs, and stylish inlays. His signature on the back of the headstock represents a personal connection to this instrument—one that has traveled the world with him and is now ready to embark on a new journey with you.
