Correct! In Indonesia the RSS20 costs 450 USD!😎
-
Had the same issue. Put locking tuners on - problem solved
-
Thanks for pointing out that “one small issue” I still think it’s a worthy mention. I was wondering how those were strung up. Appreciate you sharing that.
-
I have the same guitar in black and have had no issues with the bridge.
-
Why not just set and tension each string, clamp it with a capo and tune it?
-
Or you put all the strings on. Hold them with a capo and then do the wraps
-
I have the baseline Element model in Swift Blue. It might be the best value, but I'm starting to detest the color. I would very much prefer red or even natural. Also, the slider switch that seems to be pulled directly from aTelecaster. I'm not a fan.
-
Changing to locking tuners will help. I am planning to do it in my RSS02T
-
You could have solved it more easily with masking tape, which can be easily removed after installing the strings. Just an idea.
-
This could be me, very big fix for a small issue. I also have a Revstar and re-stringing is a little annoying. Perhaps just glue a tiny magnet in at the end? the ballend wills tick to it. however i don't know if this would somehow magentize the sring and interfere with the PUs... But, they should have slottet it an an angle...
-
Geeze, just think this guitar will end up on the used market, and you wont know about the disater under the tail piece until it's too late.
-
There are plenty of problems with the new Revstars, but that’s not one of them. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Every jazz guitar tailpiece has that issue and somehow everyone survives.

Locking tuners my man. I put back on the original tuning pegs to from the front they still look like stock. Problem solved.
-
Why not using this king of clay used to stick things on the wall that can be removed easily and is not sticky and just put it on a string, tune and so on?.
-
Well that was dumb
-
use a capo, bruh

Ты чо - в старом колхозном новоебенёвском клубе лабаешь?
