Yamaha RS20MM Matteo Mancuso Signature Revstar Electric Guitar in Vintage Sunburst

The Yamaha Revstar RS20MM Matteo Mancuso signature guitar delivers the sound, feel and versatility of Matteo’s own custom Revstar in a stunning production model ready for the stage and studio. With a chambered Mahogany body, flamed Maple top, DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary humbuckers and an ultra-stable, carbon-reinforced neck, it's built for clarity, control and expressive playing across jazz, fusion, rock and beyond.

The 5-way pickup selector and passive Focus Switch unlock a huge palette of tones from just two humbuckers, while locking tuners and stainless steel frets keep the guitar feeling slick and performing reliably night after night. Finished with all-gold hardware, a cream pickguard and Matteo’s signature appointments, it's a refined, modern classic that looks every bit as good as it sounds.

Made to Matteo's specs

The RS20MM faithfully captures the aesthetic and playing feel of Matteo Mancuso’s own custom Revstar. The compact body and comfy 24.75" scale, satin-finished Mahogany neck make fast runs, complex chords and wide stretches feel smooth and natural. It's designed to support articulate and precise playing, so you can explore the same technical territory Matteo's known for with a guitar that responds instantly to your touch.

Expressive DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary Pickups

At the heart of the RS20MM are a pair of DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary humbuckers. Their softer magnetic pull lets the strings vibrate more freely, giving you long, singing sustain and a highly expressive pick response. From warm, nuanced jazz cleans to articulate fusion leads and dynamic rock tones, these pickups stay clear and musical.

Chambered Acoustic Design body, rock-solid neck

Using Yamaha’s exclusive Acoustic Design process, the RS20MM pairs a flamed Maple top with a chambered Mahogany body that boosts resonance while keeping weight down. The result is a guitar that feels lively and responsive under the fingers, with a balanced acoustic character that translates beautifully when amplified. The 3-piece neck is reinforced with carbon, which adds strength and helps the guitar stay consistent across changing environments.

Focus Switch and 5-way versatility

The Yamaha RS20MM offers exceptional tonal flexibility thanks to its 5-position pickup selector and passive Focus Switch. Positions 2 and 4 introduce a subtle phase shift by slightly delaying the opposite pickup, giving you a fresh twist on classic in-between sounds. Pulling up the tone control engages the Focus Switch, a passive boost that emulates overwound pickups with darker highs and enhanced mids and lows — perfect for more aggressive, vocal lead tones or thicker rhythm sounds.

Premium aesthetics & reliable hardware

Visually, the RS20MM stands out with its Vintage Sunburst finish, all-gold hardware and cream pickguard, echoing Matteo’s refined stage look. Locking tuners provide quick string changes and solid tuning stability, while the Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece offer a familiar, dependable feel. Matteo’s signature on the truss rod cover and a logo inlay at the 12th fret mark this out as his official artist model.
