At NAMM 2026, we took a closer look at one of the most exciting new signature guitars of the show: the Yamaha Revstar Chris Buck Signature. Designed in close collaboration with Chris Buck, this instrument combines vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern playability and tone.
In this video, we explore what makes this Revstar special — from its pickup configuration and electronics to feel, response, and sonic character — and of course put it through a hands-on playtest straight from ThoNAMM 2026.
