THE CIRCUS OF CHAOS TAKES FORM IN THE BAY AREA -- POST HARDCORE ON THE WAY UP IN '85.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on guitarist Mark Deutrom of Bay Area hardcore punk band CLOWN ALLEY (drummer Justin Clayton can be seen behind), performing live somewhere in San Francisco, CA, c. 1985, playing a Yamaha SG guitar that is now, reportedly, worth in the neighborhood of $3,000.
The Yamaha Revstar is, on paper, my ideal next guitar. But does it deliver on Yamaha’s promises?
I’ve touched on the Yamaha Revstar and, in particular, the humbucker-equipped Yamaha Revstar RSS20 before. But now I’ve laid my hands on one,F do I still want to buy one? Not any more, and here are 10 reasons why.
1 – Electronics
Small, non-CTS pots and a less-than-premium switch betray Yamaha’s…
HELLO I AM A GUITAR NERD AND ALSO A JRWI NERD HERES WHAT KIND OF ELECTRIC GUITAR I THINK ALBATRIO WOULD PLAY AND WHY
Ok so for chip I knew it was going to be red. Obviously. Like his whole design is red. And I have been so obsessed with red Gibson les Pauls at the moment and I just thought it fit him so well so I went looking for one with gold accents
And I found this absolutely beautiful red and gold gibson les paul and god do I want my hands on that. This is such a chip guitar oh my god just the vibes are so him I don’t even know how to explain it. The red, black, and gold is so much like his swords as well
Now for Jay for a while I thinking an orange stratocaster would suit her and eventually I started looking at blue telecasters and I was very set in that for a while. I was originally leaning toward the telecaster because to me they just look very rigid and uniformed with the straight lines and I was thinking this kinda fit with the whole ex navy thing. However, since she obviously isn’t part of the navy anymore I found myself wanting something different but I wasn’t quite sure.
Now I’ve never played a Yamaha or been very interested in them at all, but I saw a couple Yamaha sg-800s in Johnny Marr’s book and I just knew it fit Jay. Everything about it is perfect. The blue and the gold accents to match her eyes. The shape. If you can’t imagine Jay Ferin playing this guitar you are lying to me.
Last but not least: Gillion. Choosing a guitar for Gillion was something I had a very hard time with. There was so many possibilities for colour and type and for a while I was quite stuck. I thought about teal and blue and even white before I eventually landed on yellow, thinking it matched the gold accents on his new design.
I’ve always been intrigued by jaguars and jazzmasters for their odd shape and I’ve always wanted to play one to see how it would feel. One day it just clicked for me that this yellow jazzmaster was the guitar for Gillion. The funky shape just feels so him. I was very torn on wether to pick a Jaguar or a jazzmaster as they look so similar, but I decided on a jazzmaster because of their whole thing with low notes and that just felt very Gillion to me.
Know here why people of Singapore have stopped using 2-wheeler transportation and switched to the option of motorcycle rental to go for occasional outings.
Mis 2 guitarras! Janis (Acústica Yamaha Estándar) Arianna (Eléctrica Sg 400 Epiphone) Solía ser una de esas mañanas en casa! ensayando con mi vieja Banda Grunge (Other Son) al lado de ellas mis tabas de ese entonces Vans y Converse! que fue Love? Hablamos Malón!
one, look at that STYLE, this thing looks insanely dope
two, holy fuck that sucker is HUGE, it's a solid body the size of an archtop hollowbody
three, it's basically a modern SG (double humbuckers!) with some newer tricks - nicer pickups, but also the tone knob has a pull out high pass mode so I can make it sound like a single coil without the buzz which is NUTS
After almost 4 years with my Fender Player Stratocaster, GAS has once-again crept in for something completely different. Should I buy a Yamaha Revstar?
In my 30+ years of player the guitar, Yamaha has always been a brand that has proved solid and reliable. Having owned many a Pacifica, my FG850 acoustic has been a trusty and inspiration songwriting companion. In all those years, I’ve never been…
Most slept on guitar right here. I called it years ago and said this line of guitars would take off and I thinks it’s starting to pick up some serious steam. I’ve been seeing way more YouTube guitar bros sporting these lately. Yamaha makes some amazing shit for the entry level price. These revstars play so good they’ve been on my radar for some time now. This will be my next guitar purchase👇🏻
Huge fan of their style of double cut-away also. SG’s just look mad ugly too me. I like these way more.
To rent a Yamaha Aerox 155cc scooter in Singapore, it costs $55 per day Because of its powerful engine, it can move quickly and conveniently in cities. There's storage beneath the seat as well. Because of its ease of use and low maintenance requirements, it is preferred in Singapore.
