My new guitar.

Well, not yet.

Since I sold my Les Paul I've been needing something with humbuckers at it. I think I've settled on the Yamaha RevStar. Only is it a gorgeous guitar but it looks super well made. Even the entry model, the element is very very good.

I might step up to the standard model though because it has stainless steel frets.

They're 800 bucks. I said I didn't want to spend any money but I might make an exception for this guitar.

Get the one that's blue with the white racing stripe on it.

Two things I like about the standard model and the pro model over the element is that they have a separate maple top. Plus the steel frets and carbon reinforced necks. I would say these guitars are worth way more than what they are asking for them. Another Yamaha classic along the lines of the SG models in the 1980s.

They model the look of these, or at least the paint schemes after cafe racing bikes.

I think so too. A very well made guitar from what I've read

I just pulled the trigger. Put it on my cc and I'll pay it off within a month.

These are super in demand. It's a new lineup for 2022 and I don't think they've put one out since 2015 or something like that.

But they are super well reviewed and super sought after. From what I'm reading online they might not ship until October.

I think this will be a guitar that I'll keep for life. Just like my strat.

This will be only the third new guitar I've purchased in my life.

The first was a charvel Jackson around 1987. The second one was my American Stratocaster in 2008 or maybe 09 and now this one.

Probably sounds better than the LP and lighter

I'm not sure anything sounds better than a Les Paul for what a Les Paul does. Especially the custom models, but this one probably sounds better in a million different ways. And yeah lighter. Way more comfortable. A less Paul is really off balanced and hard to hold and play especially if you're not using a strap and you're just having it on your knee or whatever to record

If I wanted to spend eight grand I would get a Les Paul from the custom shop . They make those chambered as well.

They hold their value well.

Thank you. I think so.

That's the professional line. You can get the standard for 800 hundred bucks. And I don't think there's very much difference. Even the element which is 500 bucks is nearly as good. I would say. The only reason why I went for the standard above the element was the stainless steel frets and then the separate maple top. Mostly aesthetics.

Sweetwater just called me regarding the guitar order. They can't fulfill the order until February of next year. Lol.

Keeping my order in though. I'm in line baby!
