Reverend Guitars opinions?
Anyone have opinion on Reverend Guitars they'd like to share? I'm specifically looking at the Contender 290 for the P90 pickups.

I have a <something - can't remember what it's called> 390. They are solid guitars. Mine sounds and plays great. The P-90's rock!
I highly recommend them.

I have owned two. One had P90s. Both were very good guitars! No complaints here!

I've had 3 of them, still have 2. Reverends are great guitars, well built and include all the bells and whistles stock. Just keep in mind they are their own thing. Don't buy one expecting a Gibson or Fender copy. That bass rolloff makes them really handy for gigging, you can cover a lot of ground with them.

I've had several over the years going back to a US made Slingshot with a composite body and 2 P90 pickups. I've also had a Pete Anderson PA-1 as well as a Jetstream 390, both Korean made. All were great guitars with unique and very usable features. They are very good instruments.

The music and arts I took lessons at pre-covid had on on the rack for a while. It was nicely made. I think the one, I think it was the Sensei model, that was very nice, IMO. Well made. Nice fit and finish. Played nicely. I never plugged it in to anything, so I don't know how it sounded but it looked like a good guitar.

Decide yet? Thats a sharp looking guitar, and it looks like they got all the important components well thought out. Keep us posted if theres a NGD coming!

I don’t own a Reverend but I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. It might be worth a try.

Some of the best built guitars that I’ve owned. The older USA versions are favored a bit more then the newer offerings. However, having owned and played both...they’re not miles apart.
The roasted maple necks play fantastic. Took me a while to get used to the pickups (Jet Stream HB) but once I got them dialed in they were fine. Locking tuners. Good caps/pots. Roasted maple neck. Hand wound pickups. There’s not really anything negative to say. Great guitars.

I had a Reverend Rocco, purchased around 20 years ago IIRC. The neck was great and it sounded good too.
Traded it to a playing pal a number of years ago. I mostly played my "pseudo-Duo-Sonic". I found I prefer short scale electric guitars, it's what I was used to. But that's me, there was nothing wrong with the Rocco. edit: there was one thing. I broke a tuning peg on it, the only time that has happened to me on any guitar. Just by using it, normally. And then later on the guy I sold it to also broke a tuning peg. |

I just bought one of their Airwave 12-strings. It's a gorgeous, very well made instrument, with remarkably good intonation and playability, particularly for a 12. My only complaint about it is that the tone coming out of the P-90s is a little darker than I think a 12 should sound, but I'm learning to work with it.
I've also owned a Reverend tube amp for almost 20 years, and it's still going strong. They make good stuff.
