Featuring P90-style pickups voiced to his taste, a wraparound bridge, a chambered body, and a carbon-reinforced neck, it delivers the distinctive tone, resonance, and balance that define his playing.

Custom P90-Style Pickups

At the heart of the RS02CB is a specially voiced P90-style pickup, developed closely with Chris.

“There’s honestly nothing better than the sound of great P90-style pickups-dynamic, responsive, and the truest conduit between the acoustic resonance of the guitar and its electric voice,” he says.

By refining coil windings and magnet selection, the pickup is tuned for slightly lower output, allowing a clear, detailed response at lower volumes and a strong, open tone when driven. This gives the instrument a wide, natural range that reflects the player’s touch.

Chambered Body With Acoustic Design

Using Yamaha’s exclusive Acoustic Design process, the RS02CB’s chambered body enhances tone while reducing weight, while a carbon-reinforced neck adds strength and stability. The result is a guitar that’s perfectly balanced, resonant, and built for the stage.

Wraparound Bridge

The RS02CB features a wraparound bridge, carried over from Chris’s original custom model. Its direct string-to-body design maximizes resonance, giving players the same organic response that Chris relies on for every gig.

Aesthetics

The RS02CB reflects Chris Buck’s own custom Revstar: Honey Gold finish, amber hat knobs, and stylish inlays. His signature on the back of the headstock marks his personal connection to the instrument - a guitar that has travelled the world with him, now ready to start its journey with you.
