Description

The Kyle Shutt story is becoming familiar around here. We’re fans, and when he wanted to see guitars, we were thrilled. We handed him a couple of Reverends, and he wouldn’t stop playing them. But when he turned to Joe Naylor and said, “This would be perfect if…” we knew a Signature Model was born. After testing prototypes live and in the Reverend Lab, we created a sealed semi-hollow with an asymmetrical center block, that easily navigates between clean and high-volume rock. The distinctly voiced Kyle Shutt Signature Railhammer pickups and the Reverend first 4-knob control layout deliver a broad range of tonal awesomeness. Add the diagonal block inlays, the mother of pearl Reverend logo, and the great styling, and you’ve got one badass machine.

Features

Railhammer Pickups

Rails under the wound strings for tight lows. Poles under the plain strings for fat highs. This revolutionary design from Reverend founder Joe Naylor delivers exceptional clarity and punch, that will get you heard loud and clear!

Sealed Semi-Hollow

The lack of an f-hole in this sealed semi-hollow helps to control feedback at high volume while still allowing extra resonance. The body also features an asymmetrical center block, with 1" inch of extra wood added to the bass side for tighter lows and extra sustain.

Korina Body

Korina (aka White Limba) is a medium-light weight wood, highly prized for consistency and tonal qualities. Often found in boutique and vintage instruments, all Reverends feature Korina bodies. A highly resonant wood, Korina is a key factor to producing our lively, responsive instruments that are rich in harmonics.

Diver Down Inlays

The diagonal, pearloid inlays on the neck represent Kyle Shutt’s love for scuba diving.

Four Knob Controls

In addition to the Reverend Bass Contour Control, and the traditional Tone Control, there are independent volume controls for the bridge and the neck pickups, allowing you to toggle between separate pickup volume levels.

Thin Finish

The paint on a Reverend is thinner than most production guitars, allowing the body to vibrate more freely, for a more resonant and lively tone. Thick finishes might look a little 'slicker', but at Reverend, tone is a top priority. Our finish is also UV cured, which means it's 100% dry from day one, unlike vintage-style nitrocellulose finishes, which can take years to fully dry.

Pin-Lock Tuners

A thumbwheel under the tuner pushes a steel pin up through the post, locking the string in place for exceptional tuning stability and super-fast string changes.

Initialed Headstock

Every Reverend is hand initialed and serial numbered on the back of the headstock by one of our highly skilled technicians who sets up, inspects, and tests every instrument.

Custom Dome Knobs

Our proprietary knobs feature a lower profile which is less likely to be accidentally hit by the player's hand, and the white dot lets you easily see where your knob rotation is set.

Boneite Nut

We use "Boneite," a synthetic bone nut, that is more consistent than natural bone, on all Reverend instruments. It reduces friction, allowing the strings to slide through the nut slots smoothly, improving tuning stability.

Dual-Action Truss Rod

Our dual action rod adjusts in both directions, allowing back bow or forward bow. This assures correct adjustment range is possible regardless of string tension, extreme climate conditions, or the effects of long term aging. It’s also located at the headstock for easy access.

Custom Jack Plate

Our proprietary jack plate features four mounting screws, instead of two. The extra screws prevent the plate from tearing out of the body. Made of steel for durability, the laser etched logo adds an extra touch of class!

Pure Tone Jack

All Reverends use an upgraded jack by Pure Tone Technologies. A standard jack has single contacts, but the Pure Tone jack has dual contacts for improved grip, audio signal and reliability. The most dependable guitar jack available.

Treble Bleed Circuit

All Reverend guitars have a treble bleed circuit, preserving the treble when you roll back the volume control. When you roll back a standard volume control, the tone loses treble and becomes dull sounding. Now you can turn down and still sound great!

10% Pots

We use Alpha control pots with a +-10% rating. While a typical pot is +-20%, our pots are built to tighter specifications, making them more consistent. Typically used in expensive boutique guitars, but standard issue in all Reverends.

10% Poly Caps

We use caps with a +-10% rating, while a typical cap is +-20%. Our caps are made to tighter specifications, so they’re more consistent. Made of polyester, they’re also longer lasting, and less affected by temperature than cheaper ceramic caps. Typically used in expensive boutique guitars.
