Reverend Guitars is known for working with some great musicians, including Pete Anderson and Unknown Hinson, the man who calls himself the King of Country Western Troubadours.  In addition to producing guitars based on the designs and desires of these players, Reverend also has a number of limited edition instruments.  The Six Gun Limited Edition was created in 2010, and once all of them are sold out, no more will be made.

The Six Gun Limited Edition takes the standard Six Gun guitar and modifies it so that it’s truly a one-of-a-kind instrument.  It features a reverse headstock, a white pickguard and white neck and middle pickups, a Wilkinson V50 tremolo, and a limited edition logo found on the back of the headstock.

This relic guitar has a korina solidbody with a reverse bolt-on neck that is made of maple.  The fingerboard is also maple and has a 12” radius.  The pickups are Reverend T-style single-coil (bridge) and S-style (the middle and neck).  You’ll find 22 medium jumbo frets on the instrument as well as Reverend pin-lock tuners, volume and tone controls, and a 5-way switch.  This guitar retails for $1079 and, as mentioned above, supplies are extremely limited.

Ron Asheton played with a number of recognized names in the music industry, including Iggy Pop.  However, this guitar legend had never sat down and created a guitar until he teamed up with Reverend to create the Reverend Ron Asheton Signature Model.  This unique instrument is based on the Reverend Volcano model, but it has been modified according to Asheton’s specifications.  It now has a body made from solid korina with a raised center area.  The fingerboard is made out of rosewood and has a twelve inch radius, while the neck is glued on and is made from one piece of korina.  The guitar also has three Reverend P90 pickups that give it a fat tone while still sounding somewhat raw.  It also gives the model a nice, percussive attack.

If you’re looking for a guitar that has a great rock tone and is somewhat edgy but also quite versatile, you want the Reverend Ron Asheton Signature Model.  Its five way pickup selector gives you plenty of options, as does the Bass Contour and position-wound pickups.  The rest of the signature model’s stats include 22 medium jumbo frets, Reverend pin-lock tuners, volume and tone control, and a dual-action truss rod.  The Reverend Ron Asheton Signature Model is available in its signature rock orange color and can be purchased from a number of different online stores.

Reverend Guitars teamed up with legendary country/rock guitarist Pete Anderson to create their first hollow body relic guitar.  Anderson, a Grammy award-winning player and producer, knows just about everything there is to know about guitars, and the final vintage product he and Reverend created is a masterpiece.  The guitar has everything you’d expect to get in a classic P-90, but it has a few interesting improvements and updates.  The single brace structure goes from the neck all the way to the bridge, running the full depth of the body.  This helps reduce uncontrollable feedback, provides increased sustain and structural integrity so that the neck doesn’t start to tilt upward, and also helps to reduce uncontrollable howling.  The low strings have more clarity, too.  By having the neck join the body around the 15th fret, you also get better access to the high frets.  The Pete Anderson Signature Model, like every other Reverend guitar, features their Bass Contour control that gives you access to quick tone tweaking and more versatility.

The Pete Anderson Signature Model features a hollowbody made from laminated maple with an arched top and back.  It has two Reverend P90 pickups, and they are tone calibrated.  The neck is glued on and features a three-piece korina.  The guitar has a dual-action truss rod, a rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radio, and 22 tall narrow jumbo frets.

The Reverend Warhawk II HB is Reverend’s take on what they believe a classic double-cutaway relic guitar should be.  They’ve done a lot to make this instrument both a thing of beauty and a great sounding guitar.  It’s got a very full, thick body, and they were certain to connect the neck to the body using the correct amount and type of wood.  You’ll find that the bridge pickup allows for some very hot playing, and it outdoes any vintage soapbar you might find.  The neck pickup is also pretty clean.  Overall, the Reverend Warhawk II HB gives you all the rawness and bite that you’d expect from the guitar, but it’s got a lot of versatility to it.  Plus, the shored up neck joint gives you a lot of stability, but the guitar isn’t neck heavy like you might expect.

The body of the Reverend Warhawk II HB is made out of solid korina and features a raised center area.  The neck is also made from one piece of korina and has a tilt-back headstock.  The guitar features two Reverend humbuckers for pickups and has a rosewood fingerboard with a twelve inch radius.  It uses 22 medium jumbo frets and Reverend pin-lock tuners.  It features a custom volume and tone controls, bass countour controls, and three way switching.

The Reverend Warhawk II 390 is a great relic guitar for anyone who loves playing rock.  This instrument is capable of producing some very cutting, raw rock sounds, but it’s also adaptable and can bring some great tones to funk, country, and even pop.  It features everything you’d expect to find in a Reverend guitar, and it sounds absolutely incredible.
