The Manta Ray 390 Limited Edition 2011 is similar to Reverend’s other Manta Ray models, but it has several features that aren’t standard.

The Manta Ray 390 features a 6mm violin solid maple flat top on a semi-hollow body made from korina. The black back and sides use cream binding. The neck is glued on and is also made from korina. It has a medium oval profile with 22 medium jumbo frets and a dual action truss rod. The fingerboard has a twelve inch radius and is made from rosewood. It uses pearloid block inlays. The three Reverend P-90 pickups give you a ton of bite, and each position can be separately calibrated for output and tone. The instrument uses Reverend Pin-Lock tuners and a TOM bridge with roller saddles and a Bigsby B70 tremolo.

Reverend Sensei HB-FM

anthony — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 04:01:14 +0000

The Sensei HB-FM by Reverend Guitars sounds like a classic flametop, but it’s much thinner and lighter. You get all those smooth sounds you’d expect from a flametop with a more focused midrange and a clearer treble response. The Sensei HB-FM is a very versatile instrument, but thanks to its thin body, it’s much lighter than many comparable guitars.

The guitar has a body made from solid korina and a top made from flame maple. The medium oval neck is glued on and is made from a piece of korina as well. The Sensei has a rosewood fingerboard with a twelve inch radius and pearloid block inlays. It uses 22 medium jumbo frets and has a dual-action truss rod. The tuners are Reverend pin-lock tuners, while the bridge is a TOM with a stop tail. The guitar features a volume and tone controls, plus a bass contour control and a three way switch.

The Reverend Sensei HB-FM has a suggested retail price of $959, but it can often be found for $800 or less. It comes in several different finishes, including flame maple faded burst and a flame maple tobacco burst.

The Reverend Club King 290

Gtr1 — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 14:48:35 +0000

The Reverend Club King 290 is a blues/rock powerhouse that brings a mix of twang, raw rock and acoustic fatness you'd expect from nothing less than a full size semi-hollow. The Club King 290 has a unique clarity and cut mostly due to the 25-1/2" maple scale neck. The 290 is wired so that the bridge pickup runs hotter than your standard soapbar p90, while the neck pickup is a bit cleaner than your average soapbar. The P-90's really bring a lot of character to the tone of this guitar giving a nice range of possibilities from raw and gritty to resonant woody tones. The 290 features custom volume & tone, Bass Contour, 3-way. The Bass Contour feature is an added toggle switch that can be used to dial in more or less low-end.

The Reverend Club King 290 features 100% solid wood construction, with no fillers, plywood or veneers. One single slab of Korina routed from the top is used for the back, sides and center block, which is all capped with a solid spruce. The Club King 290 is unique in that it has both a lot of sustain and attack as well as a full bodied resonance, that combine for a fat and articulate tone. Check out Unknown Hinson playing The Reverend Club King 290 in the video below.

Reverend Unknown Hinson Signature Guitar

anthony — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 02:57:51 +0000

Reverend is known for working with artists to create guitars for their signature line. A new addition to this line is the Unknown Hinson Signature relic guitar. Unknown Hinson calls himself the King of Country Western Troubadours, but he’s more than just that. He has a sound all his own, an interesting twist of goth and country. It’s really very different, and it’s something only a guitar built to Hinson’s specifications could even hope to reproduce. It can be used for just about anything, including country, rock, and classics.

The Hinson Signature guitar features a lightweight, versatile body that is semi-hollow. The instrument has a slimmer body than the Club King guitar, and the body shape has been reduced by about 10 percent. This creates a thicker tone and gives the guitar a more aggressive attack. It also features a bolt-on neck made from maple, two Reverend P90 pickups, and a maple fingerboard. The guitar uses 22 medium jumbo frets, has a three-way switch, bass contour, tone, and volume controls, and features a TOM bridge with stop tail.

Of course, there are a few unique extras that only Hinson would want. The pickguard is engraved with his signature, and his logo appears on the headstock. There are also bat inlays on the neck. Finally, the guitar comes in a stylish, unique coffin case. All this is included for $1,329.

Reverend Reeves Gabrels Signature Guitar

anthony — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 18:45:24 +0000

Reverend has created many different signature relic guitars, but one of their top sellers is the Reverend Reeves Gabrels Signature relic. This guitar was designed with help from Reeves Gabrels himself, the guitarist who has worked with Tin Machine and David Bowie. This guitar does everything that Reeves expected from an instrument, and it’s capable of covering styles from rock to blues to full on shredding.

One of the best things about the Gabrels Singature is its power. Reeves demanded a guitar that could provide both the power he needed and the clarity of sound he wanted, and Reverend met his demands and more. They did this by removing the cover from a Reverend bridge humbucker, giving the guitar more output and better treble response. Then they added a Dimarzio Fast Track 1 pickup to the neck, providing single-coil like definition while delivering more mids and absolutely no hum at all.

The Reverend Reeves Gabrels features a flame maple top and a solid korina body. The neck is bolted on and is made from maple with an amber tinted satin finish. It features a Reverend humbucker on the bridge and a Bimarzio Fast Track 1 on the neck. The fingerboard has a twelve inch radius and is made from rosewood. The guitar has 22 large jumbo frets and Reverend pin-lock tuners. It also features a custom volume, tone, bass contour, and three-way toggle switches. A new Gabrels relic costs $1199.

Reverend Ron Asheton Signature Model

anthony — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 02:15:33 +0000

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.

Reverend Guitars Pete Anderson Signature Model

anthony — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:06:10 +0000

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.
