Been Ordered a New Guitar. Looked at my strat and les paul and the plans for a partscaster build and was overcome with an overwhelming sense of sameness. Read DarthPs review of the satuerday night specials and got the sense of sameness, not that he stated they were the more of the same but just got that feeling. Don't want 10 guitars withe 20 sets of pickups. went to the music store and wandered around looking at the guitars hanging all over the walls and sameness crept in again. talked to a music store dude for a while, felt like I was confessing to a priest or something. after a while he said a yamaha revstar was about as different a guitar as he could come up with that was practical, not like some freaky thing. he showed me a picture of one they had at another store and went over the spec stuff that went over my head. ordered it.

anybody else had this experience or have any suggestions of a guitar that is out of the strat, tele, les paul, sg mold?

I have since been reading and listening to revstar information and am getting excited about it. it does seem to be a possible sameness breaker.

A revstar through a katana...I'm turning japanese, I'm turning japanese, I really think so.

I bought a Brian May Guitar for this very reason. I bought Rickenbacker and Gretsch too. Danelectro would be another (though I don't own one).

When we opened for Decapitated, Vogg was playing an Ironbird. I always thought they were a little weird looking but live it was really cool looking. In 20 years of guitar playing that was the only one I've ever saw on stage.

The Revstar is pretty cool, reminds me of a Gibson Johnny A. Which I haven't saw on stage either. Congrats.

This video is why I still Jones for the Gretsch. https://youtu.be/nFpv1LKrA9s
