Compared to the humbucker-equipped Revstar models, the RSS02T delivers a rawer and more articulate response with greater upper-mid presence and touch sensitivity, making it exceptionally well suited for blues, indie, alternative, classic rock, and expressive edge-of-breakup tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VP5 P90 pickup set produces rich midrange punch, tight low-end response, and a more open top-end character that reacts naturally to picking dynamics and volume adjustments. Yamaha’s Dry Switch further expands the tonal range by tightening low frequencies and improving articulation without sacrificing body or fullness. The result is a more controlled alternate voice that preserves the natural character and responsiveness that make P90-equipped guitars so appealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe chambered mahogany body paired with a maple top gives the RSS02T additional resonance, sustain, and upper-end clarity while maintaining a balanced and highly responsive feel. Combined with the carbon-reinforced 3-piece mahogany neck and set-neck construction, the guitar feels stable, lively, and highly consistent during extended playing sessions, recording work, and live performance. The rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and smoothness, complementing the aggressive attack and articulation of the VP5 pickup system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sunset Burst finish gives the RSS02T a richer vintage-inspired appearance with warm tonal transitions and strong visual depth. Its darker outer edges and glowing center complement the Revstar body shape exceptionally well, creating a finish that feels classic, expressive, and naturally suited for a higher-spec modern P90 platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVP5 P90 pickups for dynamic, articulate vintage-inspired tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDry Switch passive bass filter for expanded tonal flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChambered mahogany body with maple top\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbon-reinforced 3-piece mahogany neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSet-neck construction for sustain and smooth feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-position pickup selector switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTune-o-matic style bridge with aluminum tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeluxe gig bag included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstruction: Set-neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24.75\" (628.6 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Material: Chambered mahogany with maple top\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: Dual P90\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstruction: Set-neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24.75\" (628.6 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Material: Chambered mahogany with maple top\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Material: 3-piece mahogany with carbon reinforcement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\" (305 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFret Type: Jumbo stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Material: Graph Tech TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Width: 41.9 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eString Spacing: 10.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePickup Configuration: Dual P90\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: VP5n P90 single-coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: VP5b P90 single-coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls: Master volume, master tone with Dry Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwitching: 5-position pickup selector switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: Tune-o-matic style bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTailpiece: Aluminum stop tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTuners: Die-cast tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrings: Elixir Nanoweb Light (.010–.046)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded Case: Deluxe gig bag included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From Rain City Guitars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Yamaha Canadian Dealer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurated by musicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProfessionally inspected before shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast secure shipping across Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Sunset Burst","offer_id":46814929289353,"sku":"RSS02T-SSB","price":1099.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/7299\/3417\/files\/RSS02T-SSB-PP-JPG.jpg?v=1779834282","url":"https:\/\/raincityguitars.com\/products\/yamaha-rss02t-sunset-burst-electric-guitar","provider":"Rain City Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
