Mason Music Demo Lab: Reverend Club King 290

This blues/rock beauty by Reverend delivers the perfect vehicle for jazz, country, rockabilly and blues thanks to the acoustic overtones of a full-size semi-hollow body and Bigsby tremolo. But, it's the two P90-style pickups that make it versatile enough to play just about anything you have your heart set on.

afterstars so much djent going on there...

[@stephenlennartz3466]

Hmmmm ... something by Stephen Stills or Neal Young.

[@BTsMusicChannel]

I have one of these things...Fun guitar! Looks so ridiculously retro (loosely modeled on something old I suppose) and has a great sound, all for a really decent price.

[@MasonMusicRocks]

We're definitely a fan, it's a great sounding guitar for a great price. Glad to hear you love yours too!

[@Berkland1000]

Nice demo. Nice playing.

[@MasonMusicRocks]

Hey thanks John!

[@Venomforyall]

Do the pickups hum a lot with high gain? I've heard these aren't that noisy as far as p90s go.

[@MasonMusicRocks]

They will definitely let you know that they're a p90, but I haven't found it to be excessive. Plus, just look at it. Would ya?

[@MrEddie-gf3yg]

I give the clean tone two thumbs up! Are those P-90s low in output?

[@MasonMusicRocks]

Thanks! I’m not sure I know what you mean by “in low output” can you clarify?

[@MrEddie-gf3yg]

@@MasonMusicRocks Higher output means that the pickup will push a given amp into overdrive or distortion earlier. Lower output means the pickup will push an amp into overdrive/distortion at a slower rate. That being said, however, a pickup with lower output has an advantage over higher output pickups by having more clean and bright tones.

[@MasonMusicRocks]

@@MrEddie-gf3yg wow - I am laughing at myself now because I just re-read your first comment and realized I must have been temporarily dyslexic. I read your comment to say "in low output" instead of "low in output" and thought you were asking if there was a different mode you could switch them to or something. To answer your ORIGINAL question - Reverend advertises their p90's to be slightly hotter than a traditional p90, but they are still a lower output than their humbuckers, etc. Sorry for the confusion!

[@MrEddie-gf3yg]

@@MasonMusicRocks Oh ok

[@yuribillones5094]

@@MasonMusicRocks doesn't that Bass Contour knob affect the output impedance? I'm not totally savvy on their tech specs, but that might the case for most of their guitars.

[@mojostephen]

Great guitar, BUT...The Bigsby is a Vibrato , NOT a Tremelo! What's the difference? A Vibrato is a mechanical effect while a Tremelo is an electronic effect. Get it? Got it? Good!!!

[@SkinnyStupido]

great guitar, but the amp kills it. clean is okay, but please do not use orange to promote a guitar. specially in OD mode

[@MasonMusicRocks]

meffke ha- not an orange fan eh? I guess to each his own. I’m actually a fan of orange more for the overdrive than the clean tones. I like fender and vox for cleaner sounds more... what kind of amp do you play?

[@SkinnyStupido]

@@MasonMusicRocks at the moment a fender machete, befor a jcm800 marshall. i like the machete, he's clean as a fender supposed to be, and i can get it as dirty as i need. i use a laney cub12r for jamming, but it's broke now, need a fix. (PS i play the amps with a clubking and a F telecaster )

[@MasonMusicRocks]

meffke fender machete eh? I’ve never heard of it- gonna go google now...
