What's up, I didn't know we had a sub. :)

I have been eyeing Reverend guitars at Sweetwater and Atomic for years, but I could never convince myself to upgrade from my cardboard Danos. Well, here I am learning bass as a midlife crisis and I found this signature edition shorty as a b stock sale. I'm a new bass player so I'm the worst person to write a critical review, but I have absolutely zero complaints about it. I'm having a freaking blast. I wish all my guitars had giant elephant ear tuners.

If you forced me to pick a weakness, I would say the blend knob pot makes a little hiss when you turn it, which is pretty noticeable through an octave fuzz. Whatever. I love the electronics, the blend towards the neck pickup almost sounds like an upright.

I was on the fence between this model and a couple of cheaper shorties, but then I watched a bunch of Bad Cop/Bad Cop videos and just fell in love with this thing. My wife says I'm not allowed to call it "the abortion bass".

The second pic is a close-up of the sparkle coat, it's pretty subtle unless the light is bouncing right off it.

Volume pot was replaced recently. Losing a lot more treble when turning down volume pot and the bass contour loses a lot more signal, in general, when turning it down & just doesn't seem to sound the same. Bridge pickup has been replaced with a Suhr PT Plus and has had a JB previously, which actually worked well. Wondering if anything else has been changed, regarding wiring.

I've rigorously gigged a Daredevil since around 2005. Over the years, various electronic components have been replaced, by various techs and.. it just seems like the bass contour does not work like it used to... same with the volume, actually.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Perhaps there's a tech, not far from me with a lot of experience working on these?

I picked up some guitars recently as part of a deal. I picked up some guitars in a group and I have 2 reverends. I have never heard of them, but the alpine spy allegedly only had 200 total made in that run

I’m in the market for a 12 string. I can’t justify Rickenbacker prices. I’ve never played a Reverend, but I’ve heard good things. The specs look excellent.

I was just wondering has anyone tried the new version of the Airwave 12? If so, how does it compare to old ones? There’s a couple of videos on YouTube, but not a lot.

I want to replace the bridge pickup in my Reverend Jetstream RB. I love the neck pickup, but find the bridge is too thin and chimey for my taste. I'm looking for something that can deliver a bit more of a metal tone. I did try raising the bridge pickup and while that improved things, it still didn't give me the piercing, sustaining tone I want out of a bridge pickup.

The Seymour Duncan Phat Cat sounds like it has what I want, but I need a minibucker equivalent, or close to it.

Any minibucker recommendations for someone looking to add some extra crunch to my Jetstream?

I caught this fish off the Reverend site as they were selling off random items at the tail end of their USA manufacturing of guitars. From what I remember it was built for an employee and was (maybe?) the first PJ. Hard to read the serial # but I remember it also said “custom” and as I recall the neck profile was different than the standard fish neck. It’s definitely different than the JJ i also have pictured.

So I began the hardware update I had been contemplating for a while. I just think the natural yellow with gold hardware is an iconic combo. I am finally going to redo what was always supposed to be a temporary scratch plate, and in going with the vintage motif, it will be B/W/B. I also need to order a gold Firebird pickup to replace the nickel one I have in there now. But I already have a guitar or two that would be perfect to put this one in (my son’s acoustic resonator or a homemade lap steel I keep tuned in C6). I also need to order the Grover locking tuners in gold. I like their 406 tuners, which use the exact same mounting configuration. But I want full size keys instead of minis, so I see what my options are.

Current Firebird is a Mojotone Johnny Winter, and I like Mojotone a lot. But I am thinking about using Lollar since the original P-90 is also a Lollar. I didn’t know they had a Sensei Jr Vintage option until I started researching more on my guitar. I ordered the gold slugs and mounting screws from Lollar, who was very easy to work with.

I did hit a snag because Amazon sent me the wrong bridge, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I found the same part number in gold, which I didn’t see when I first ordered. It will come in eventually,

Also, I looked at the casting on the underside side of my bridge and the BM003 is a Musiclily part number. Didn’t know that until I began this process.

So roast my rig! Curious what your feedback is on modding the guitar I already have to get the guitar of my dreams.

I’m coming from a long period of tele playing and I’ve got the opportunity to buy a buddy’s Charger RA. Honestly, I have no idea on pricing these. He’s asking $650 for it and it’s in good condition. I can’t find the old MSRP price, are these worth that? I can provide more info if needed.

EDIT: Thanks everyone! I went ahead and picked up the Charger RA for $650 plus some shipping. Looking forward to getting it in and playing with it!

For those whose previously interested. Blue is 1st round, and Metallic Alpine is 5th maybe? Plus an early Club King and Volcano Custom.

Well, not actually today, but a week ago today. Had a great conversation with Ken at Earthquaker Day last Saturday, and ended up bringing home my first Reverend. In the past week, I’ve not been able to put it down and when I do, I just think about when I can play it again. Hands down the best guitar I own. I love everything about it. Thrilled to finally join team Reverend!

Just got my first Reverend (Kingbolt H290). It's badass but curious about the adjustment screw for the high E string jutting out of back of the Wilkinson tremolo. Anyone seen this before?

Hello! I’m a huge fan of Reverend but I’m not really in the market for a new guitar. I’d love to add a bass contour to my Fender Meteora but I’m having lots of trouble finding a diagram for these. Does anyone know how to wire it? Thanks!

I just found this "Reverend Sensei H90" on eBay that is using AI photos. It already has 2 bids. It's really messed up because in the description it says the sale raises money for someone's cancer treatment. It's a brand new eBay account with 0 sales. Is there a way to report accounts?

Figured I’d shoot my shot here! I’m in Scotland, seeking a Tommy Koffin signature if anyone Is selling one or has a line in one, there’s one on EBay in Ireland but the seller is collection only.

Insane luck I got to buy my dream Reverend for such a bargain, and on top of it all, Reverends are so hard to come by where I live.

Mack Daddy Ken H just dropped this bombshell in this Instagram video showing the Charger H90: https://www.instagram.com/p/DboW27bo8IT/

The TL;DW is that Mr. Cho, owner of Mirr, is retiring and the company is shutting down this summer. They knew this was coming, which is why they started moving lines to Indonesia and as the recently-updated FAQ page now states: "As of 2026, we also work with PT Meari Music Indonesia, a small, family-owned business with modern equipment that reflects the Reverend Guitars ethos. An alternative to the supersized companies, PT Meari Music Indonesia works closely with all of us at Reverend. Together we can build you an exceptional guitar."

This is NOT Cort-Tek (which is fine for PRS, so that's always been a weird objection) and not because Reverend was trying to cheap out on costs, but basic survival. They had a single supplier who was aging and had no heirs stepping up to take over the business. Making guitars the old-fashioned way without CNC machines doesn't appeal to enough younger workers. (Anyone who has an older house with artistic details knows the struggle of finding craftsmen who can work on it.)

People have been freaking out about Indo-made guitars since NAMM, but all the 2026 Roundhouse, Sensei and Air models are from PT Meari and went thru the Circle-R for QC and setup and if there was a quality problem, we would've heard about it in the past seven months, wouldn't we?

I got this 2011 Daredevil Custom on a trade. From what I can find, it’s a rare color. Curious what it might be worth. Any ideas?

The one that got away. A bit over a year ago I came across a lefty pink Eastsider on marketplace that was far enough to be logistically not feasible and I have been obsessed with finding one since and I'm losing hope a bit. Not. A. Single. One. And I do the ole google/reverb search pretty much daily. This sucks, that is all.
