Yamaha has near-unrivaled form in taking its high-end builds to lower price points without sacrificing quality.

Now the manufacturer is repeating the trick with the Revstar Element RSE20 – an affordable take on the double-cut, set-neck mahogany build favored by everyone from Matteo Mancuso to Chris Buck.
