Reverend Guitar Factory Tour and History With Ken Haas

[@1upfx281]

I've owned a dozen Reverends over the years. They've all been FANTASTIC guitars!

[@mikevigano1]

Great guitars, amazing staff ! Ken Haas is the best

[@CAHouseMusic]

Couldn't agree more!

[@tonymarinelli7304]

I’m playing my new Double Agent OG as I watch this and man am I a Fan Boy already. Ken is a class act, I corresponded with them this week because I had a slight issue no questions asked he took care of me.

[@rick00770]

Awesome guitars. I tried the getstream 390, had to buy it. A lot of guitar, I like the locking tuners, roasted neck and tremolo bar . Pickups sound great. IV been playing 50 yrs and a few more. I'd match it with any guitar IV ever played. It's super bad. Love it.

[@GuitarKilf]

I can hand on heart verify what Ken says is true, I'm in the UK and GuitarGuitar Birmingham has started doing Reverend and every single one of them are by far the best setup guitars in the shop (any shop)....I know I tried them all. Eventually walked out with a Charger 290 in Alpine Green it's my first Reverend but it won't be my last. I'll never buy another brand again.

[@lazvt8469]

Picked up a lefty DA OG yesterday....my oh my....excellent in every way. Neck feel similar to my favorite, '93 Am Stnd Strat. Bass contour is real deal. Get some...

[@lazvt8469]

So cool...I just got a Mr Green signed lefty DA OG with serial number well into the 57,000....it's June 2023. WOW! Oh, fabulous guitar in every way!!

[@johnyrocksville]

Thanks for the tour, love my Mercalli!

[@Malio75]

I just purchased a Reverend Buckshot a few weeks back. It was so good that it replaced my Tele. Actually, it’s so good that despite the fact that I own a few Stratocasters and Gibsons, this is now my favourite out of all of them. They are terrific instruments

[@celestelongway7315]

Super awesome Reverend factory tour/history. Thanks Reverend! . U guys ROCK!

[@TrixiLovesYou]

Framed Dag Nasty "Can I Say" on the wall I did not expect.

[@larrybstreetfish5852]

I thought the same👍👍

[@Mr.Wrong1]

Exactly, bonus points straight off the bat. 😉

[@russk1971]

Remember those of us who play left handed. I bought my 1st Reverend because it was the best left-handed guitar in the store.

[@lazvt8469]

you meant the ONLY lefty? well, besides the black Squier strat... Love my lefty DA OG ...rec'd yesterday...my 61 year old hands are sore.

[@russk1971]

@lazvt8469 No, there were 5 left-handed guitars to choose from. 2 were squires 1 Jackson 1 Epiphone and the Reverend.

[@WebbChannel1]

I am more of a collector than player and REVEREND guitars are the highest value Asian made guitars bar none. They also not only "hold" their value but INCREASE in value for most of their models. In my collection I have a Club King in the discontinued seafoam turquoise with the original RevTron pups, and Reverend hard shell case that I bought from a dealer who bought it at the NAMM show directly from Joe Naylor. I can easily get double, maybe triple what I paid for it. As a collector (just a hobby for me) I buy and sell guitars and amps all the time BUT my Reverend is a keeper!! Love it. I string mine with D'addario "Chromes" and the mellow jazzy, bluesy tones are haunting that really stay with you... I am thinking to add the "Rick Vito" signature model to my collection next.

[@CAHouseMusic]

We had three Vito's in stock! They were my favorite at the winter show. reverb.com/item/21192723-reverend-rick-vito-signature-soulshaker-2019-grey-pearloid?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI56HL6u_L4wIVBp-fCh13IgUWEAQYASABEgKqXPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&merchant_id=120786319&pla=1&

[@WebbChannel1]

Thanks for the offer but I'm old school and really like the original Rick Vito guitar with the art deco style in seafoam green.

[@shaun64vet]

That's what I've found trying to find second hand Reverends in the UK. No one wants to let them go because they are so good.

[@donttouchband100]

Love my Club King 290, great guitar and the more Bass Knob- wow.

[@cramit]

That yellow phenolic USA Reverend on the wall in the tech area has to be one of the first couple hundred made.. So beautiful.

[@jonathanricciardi5215]

Great tour...Rock!

[@CAHouseMusic]

Jonathan Ricciardi RICO!! you would have loved the tour! We told Ken about your Reverend Guitar he remembered that specific one you have. The channel is not the same without you brother! Random camo is needed on one of these videos in the future.

[@jonathanricciardi5215]

[@shotgunrebels]

Really want a Ron Ashton Volcano. Wish they would make some again.

[@markjusticevipond6642]

Miss my Reverend proto type. Gonna get a new sweetie pie Rev soon.

[@stuartreynolds5733]

I've played reverend guitars they play great!

[@thegolfingmusician6345]

Now I finally get to see where Ken is sitting when he’s answering my stupid emails. Best guitar company there is with THE highest quality customer service there is. Cheers!

[@arrowspellets2728]

I was really hoping to see Eric hammer some strings in the Amp room, but it was still a sweet tour of the Reverend Guitar Factory. Very nice, when you see a warehouse that size white glove clean!

[@CAHouseMusic]

Arrows & Pellets you’ll see some playing in tomorrow’s video! Thanks for the comment and support as always!

[@Chriss-Gear]

Loving the Dag Nasty album cover!!!! DC Hardcore. Ok on with the tour.

[@larrybstreetfish5852]

I am here drooling, as I wait for my Matt West sig to be delivered...I have owned quite a few Reverends, and always regret selling them....Now, I want 3 different ones👍

[@toadstkr]

Gibson is like .... we need a CEO like that

[@onlyguitars]

Tried a Reverend Double Agent 20th Anniversary a week ago, first time trying a Reverend guitar, and I LOVED IT! Was so pleasantly surprised with the guitar. Was great feel, looked fantastic and I could immediately appreciate the quality. Definitively will get one at some point.

[@CAHouseMusic]

they are a great company!

[@onlyguitars]

@@CAHouseMusic Yeah! Loved this video by the way, thanks!!

[@CianRourke]

Was hoping to see the factory.

[@gearzilla4112]

I own three Revs and still wants 3-4 more models..

[@larrybstreetfish5852]

They have that appeal...and I feel the same!

[@EnmandsBand1]

thank you so much for being completely honest from the very start about your production origin, Duesenberg could learn a lot from this! Come to think about it, the new Duesenberg models look pretty close to some Reverend models...

[@tryfishin9]

Love my Double Agent W best guitar

[@robiandolo]

For anyone who cares I am the proud owner of a prototype: Sensei #13944 Proto Z5L7. I was scoping the Reverends out and actually looking for a Kyle Schutte signature when I found this on eBay. Best Buy ever.

[@diegowilson9711]

I'm jealous. And the Sensei guitars (I own a Sensei RA), are some of the coolest guitars EVER.

[@stevefelson1951]

Coolness

[@davidjones6218]

Are these guitars made in korea, then shipped to the states for a final check before sending out.?.

[@EmilyStoneMarxistFan]

Yes, they set up all guitars in usa after they were manufactured in korea

[@endezeichengrimm]

Isn't the factory in south Korea?

[@stuartreynolds4620]

Do you have a ghost in that building something made me feel that way or I'm just crazy.

[@hectorheath]

wheres all the V's ?

[@BioStuff415]

Factory?

[@stuartreynolds4620]

I want that 35000 12 string

[@kevinvandeventer8690]

I had a blue Hawaiian slingshot custom with bigsby that was amazing and built a custom with an eastpointe all maple neck and fender deluxe American strat body that was transcendent. I would really like to know who made the eastpointe neck and if there is a modern equal of it. Edit: stopped the video at the point douche decided to bring politics in.

[@edadpops1709]

Did pdxandy sign the guitar?

[@vicdelapaz]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@walshy2116]

It would be nice if they showed the actual guitar he’s describing as he describes them in the beginning. He’s talking about them specifically and it just shows all of them.

[@welntaod]

Love my Reverend Buckshot and Spacehawk, hate the shopping cart the camera is being rolled around in - Very distracting.

[@stevenpaul6216]

So where are the guitars actually built?

[@ryjawa]

Korea.. He said theyre made in Korea and set up in Ohio..

[@helgepopanz598]

just watch the video and try to listen to what the dude says

[@ataraxia4526]

Just realized that this C. A. House Music dude looks a bit like Eminem :) Anyway, I'm about to buy Double Agent OG and might install Les Trem to it. Love the body shape and sound of it.

[@tjjr1062]

Am I crazy or does Seth also work at Guitar Center?

[@thorpenator9148]

I want a king bolt and a 6 gun.

[@aaron.s.robinson]

Why were you ROLLING the camera around on what sounds like an old Walmart buggy at around 28 minutes???? Seriously.

[@keithowens2554]

35,000. Nice

[@Saulkoll]

Ron Ashton!

[@arrowspellets2728]

You could only imagine how much i had to delete in my last comment about the sweet looking guitars i seen... Wow!

[@keithowens2554]

They all should get $35,000 bonuses

[@wamgoc3637]

The quality is good but my esthetic sense is different than Joe Naylor’s.

[@WebbChannel1]

QUESTION - during the interview Ken Hass eluded that he bought Reverend guitars from Joe - So Joe has nothing to do with Reverend guitars anymore??

[@CAHouseMusic]

i believe joe still designs a lot of what is reverend from pickups to guitars

[@WebbChannel1]

@@CAHouseMusic Thanks for the reply and update.

[@curbowman]

I have always wondered why Reverend uses a plastic knob in their basses. Why not use three equal knobs instead? Is there a funny story we should know about?

[@projectmoon13]

You are like if eddy Van Halen and Leo fender kept making guitars.

[@thesuccessfulbarber]

Nobody watches our channel.. Lol!

[@bebenavole]

How the hell is this a factory?

[@robertholzhauer959]

It’s not. Good point. It’s a setup shop. They’re 300 dollar guitars sold for 900. I’ve never owned or played a Reverend, and I’m sure they’re very good guitars, but these guys don’t build them. It’s a shame they don’t.

[@dwainmcbain5263]

Deck that railer out!! C'mon man!

[@endrizo]

thats not a factory.

[@STRATSAFIRE]

Install a VEGA TREM & fuckitol!

[@redrocker1055]

Sadly, whenever I think of Reverend guitars an image of douche float Kid Rock comes to mind.

Over priced, heavy, terrible quality control, bad resale, cool shapes , cool colors

[@XX_o_X_o_XX]

I own several Reverend guitars, from the old phenolic models, to modern ones. I think that they’re very well built, and I enjoy them. That said, this is not a factory tour. I want to see the guitars being built at the Mirr factory. I could care less about the distribution “factory” where they get set up in the US. And Ken might be an okay guy, but he’s obviously a major shill for his company, and he doesn’t make me like “his” company more than if he just stayed out of it. Sorry, but I don’t think that he actually “does” anything other than promote the company that he purchased from Joe Naylor. Also, he’s a pretty poor guitarist - I know it’s a low blow, but he seems to act as though he’s an accomplished musician, and he’s just not...
