Signature Features That Set It Apart

What sets this instrument apart is the pairing of Reverend's Steelhead humbucker pickups—each using both ceramic and Alnico 5 magnets for a blend of punch and sweetness—and the unique semi-hollow construction with a solid spruce top, maximizing resonance and clarity. Additional features include pin-lock tuners for quick string changes, a bass contour control for single-coil-like tones, and a thin, UV-cured gloss finish that boosts body vibration and ensures stage readiness from the start.

Body & Construction: Resonance Meets Playability

At the core of its sound and feel is the semi-hollow mahogany body with a solid spruce top, enhancing acoustic response and offering both warmth and shimmering highs. The light build means you can play comfortably for hours.

• Top:Solid spruce — adds articulation and clarity to every note
• Finish:Gloss polyurethane — thin, UV-cured layer for lively tone and fast feel

Neck & Playability: Engineered for Comfort and Speed

Designed for maximum stability and a fast response, the roasted maple neck withstands climate changes, while a 12" (305 mm) fingerboard radius and medium oval profile invite fast leads and effortless chords.
