The raw tone and vibe of a vintage pawnshop prize, but way more reliable.
Reverend took the Manta Ray platform and tricked it out for an offbeat sixties look, but with modern features and build quality. The highly resonant semi-hollow body teamed with Revtron pickups produces a punchy tone thats rich in harmonics. A Bigsby tremolo completes the retro theme, and the roller bridge and Pin-Lock tuners keep it in tune. Perfect for the player who wants the raw tone and vibe of a vintage pawnshop prize, but needs a reliable and stable instrument.
Custom pickups
Reverend design their own proprietary custom pickups, to achieve the best tonal match with their instruments. Reverend pickups are also specifically designed for each position, for balanced volume and tone when switching.
Korina body
Korina (aka White Limba) is a medium-lightweight wood, highly prized for consistency and tonal qualities. Often found in boutique and vintage instruments, all Reverends feature Korina bodies. A highly resonant wood, Korina is a key factor to producing lively, responsive instruments rich in harmonics.
Dual-action truss rod
This dual-action truss rod adjusts in both directions, allowing back bow or forward bow. This assures correct adjustment range is possible regardless of string tension, extreme climate conditions, or the effects of long-term aging. It's also located at the headstock for easy access.
Graphite nut
Reverend use a graphite impregnated nut on all their instruments. Graphite reduces friction, allowing the strings to easily slide through the nut slots, improving tuning stability.
Bass contour
This passive bass roll-off is great for tightening up the low end, or re-voicing the pickups. It can make a humbucker sound like a single-coil, or give a P-90 that classic twang. Variable pickup voicing at your fingertips.
Pin-lock tuners
A thumbwheel under the tuner pushes a steel pin up through the post, locking the string in place for exceptional tuning stability and super-fast string changes.
