Maybe the most strikingly cool signature guitar I've ever seen! Great job Reverend! Would love to play this.

Thank you so much for demoing the clean and crunchy tones 🎶 That is precisely what many of us wonder with a guitar that can shred the way it can🤘🏼 It sounds quite good 👍🏼

This is nice. 😊 I still remember his rig rundown from 2016. With his massive pedalboard(s)…🤘👍

Man that guitar is beautiful. Vernon made the right choice going with Reverend.

Nice seeing John doing the Rev demo taking the Floyd Rose dive bombs, he’s kind of a Dad Rocker like me. Always a pleasure seeing him demo a product Those pickups seem to take distortion really nicely. Crunchy yet clear.

Love the fact that Vernon endorsed ESP, Hamer, Parker Fly, PRS and now Reverend... He's a master.

The bass contour knob is exactly a cool feature on the majority of Reverend guitars - despite e. g. Greg Koch's signature. A luthier built me a hollowbody guitar based on a T-style shape. I asked for such a bass contour poti, too, he managed it. It's cool to thin or thicken your sound by rolling the poti. In terms of double locking vibratos, real Floyds or Ibanez Edges are standard, but the aren't massive, neither fully stainless. I went a different way with the Tremoline FT36, that improved the performance and tone of my Peavey HP2 NOS. @John: Great walk through, excellent playing indeed!

Wow! That is a cool and uniquely designed guitar! Vernon is a amazing and underrated guitar player by far! :)

Thank you so much for this. Reverend makes great guitars, but their videos are always a bit (to be polite) underwhelming... Can't properly understand voices, all guitar tones demoed are poorly miked and generally in near-tinnitus territory, telling you nothing about the instrument. You did prove what I have hoped/expected - this sounds as great as it looks. Not sure if I am willing to put up with the FR, would buy a version with Reverend's usual Wilkinson vibrato instantly (I have that in the Dirtbike and it awesome). Have to think about it...
@ue4058Ай бұрын
Reverend's videos are underwhelming because they always feature the owner Ken and he invariably comes across as a fool. Their guitars are excellent though, and this Vernon Reid line is beautiful. Agreed on the FR, I know it's Vernon's thing but that's a tough choice personally over the Wilk. Life's too short to deal with Floyds.

I love Vernon Reid and that is probably a phenomenal guitar spec wise but that 90's strip mall coffee house sofa upholstery aesthetic might affect sales .(a good sigature model is one that players that never heard of you or even actively dislike you would still think is cool)
@crosswalklarryАй бұрын
I'm sure they won't make too many. Probably just enough to cover his mega fans and a few others. Reverend have a horrible resale value so buy because you wanna keep it. I like the Mark Morton Jackson Sig because it isn't too personal.

For $2000 usd you'd think they'd put an original Floyd Rose on instead of the 1000..which don't have a good reputation. But they seem to be putting them on everything these days.

Great looking guitar but the upside down headstock is a bit of rough look.

I think that is Vernon's ode to the 80s shredder era he was apart of.

I am going to disagree with some of my guitars brethren and sistern. I think YET ANOTHER sig model from this guy is a joke and so insincere. And ALL sucked and were flops.
