REVEREND

might suggest a blues-oriented guitar due to its connection with a signature tune by the late, great Albert King, but although this new Reverend solidbody isn’t pitched as such, it is one of the most versatile solidbody guitars with two humbuckers that I’ve tested in quite some time. Things start out with a single-cut korina body that has contours on the top and back, and a roasted-maple neck that attaches with sixcarrying 22 medium-jumbo frets. They’re well attended and given a light polish, and all the way to the Bonite nut, everything presented here yields a hitch-free and inviting playing experience.
