Yamaha Guitars has officially announced the launch of the Matteo Mancuso Signature Revstar (RS20MM). Developed in close collaboration with the Italian virtuoso—widely lauded by icons like Steve Vai, Al Di Meola, and Joe Bonamassa for his fingerstyle jazz-fusion technique—the signature model delivers the performance, response, and aesthetic of Mancuso’s custom tour rig in a premium production instrument.
Constructed around Yamaha’s proprietary Acoustic Design process, the RS20MM utilizes a chambered mahogany body topped with flame maple to enhance acoustic resonance and reduce stage weight, reinforced by carbon rods in the neck for ultimate tuning and neck stability.
Electronics & Custom Appointments
- DiMarzio® PAF® 36th Anniversary Pickups: Specially selected by Mancuso to deliver articulate dynamics, rich sustain, and touch-sensitive response that accommodates both high-gain lead work and subtle fingerstyle dynamics.
- Acoustic Design Chambering: Internal body chambering tuned to balance weight while optimizing low-end resonance and sustain.
- Carbon-Reinforced Neck: Mahogany neck featuring carbon-fiber reinforcement inserts to maximize rigidity and stability during tour transit.
- Signature Aesthetic Package: Finished in a striking Vintage Sunburst gloss over flame maple, paired with all-gold hardware, a custom 12th-fret logo inlay, and Matteo Mancuso’s signature on the truss-rod cover.
