Key Features and Specifications
Body: It features a double-cutaway, chambered mahogany body with a maple top, designed using Yamaha’s Acoustic Design process to enhance resonance, reduce weight, and improve balance.
Neck: The guitar has a set-in, 3-piece mahogany neck with a smooth satin polyurethane finish for playability and carbon reinforcement for durability and stability.
Fingerboard: It is equipped with a rosewood fingerboard, a 12-inch radius, 22 jumbo stainless steel frets, and a 24.75″ scale length.
Pickups: The RSS20L features two custom-designed Yamaha VH5 Alnico V humbucking pickups that deliver a bright and powerful tone.
Controls: It offers versatile tonal options via a 5-position pickup selector switch and a master tone control that doubles as a push/pull “Focus Switch”.
