Reverend Guitars

I've been prowling for a guitar lately. Reverend has been suggested as a solution by one of the guitar tone geeks I trust.

Thoughts?????

Go for it. Even though they aren't made in the US anymore, I still think they are some of the coolest guitars out there!

I haven't played any of the models since they quit making them in Michigan, but those older ones were fantastic. The newer ones I've heard have all sounded good, but a lot of that is in the hands of the player, of course.

If you can find an old US model, especially with an Eastpointe neck, grab it. They are amazing. As far as the newer ones go, I've played some really good ones and really bad ones. There have been a few with horrible fit and finish. On the newer ones, I wouldn't buy online unless I knew the seller. The bass knob is amazing though.

I have one of the early Korean imports, a Club King with p90s and a Bigsby. AWESOME guitar, I love it. The bass contour is incredibly useful, I agree.

I've only been vaguely familiar with their basses, based on other people talking about them. I saw the guitars. Now I have GAS. Looks like a marriage between the Tele and the Jazzmaster/Jaguar, some of my favorite designs. How's that Double Agent sound?

Turns out one of the Mom and Pop shops in town carries Reverend. Guess where I'm headed at lunch Monday. The guy who pointed me in this direction also raved about the bass control. Consensus is a good thing!

Thanks for the advice! I figure I'm going to have to work on that other issue next, WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor. That's easier when I'm sure I'm headed down the right road. Thanks, again!

I had a Warbird and the build quality was awesome. Sold it because the band needed PA speakers. I am now gassing for a Buckshot. I was at Truetone music last week and saw a bunch of the imports and they were all excellent. I think they are extremely good guitars for the money.
