Help! POLL ADDED Reverend Pete Anderson Hollowbody

[BlockInlay]

paging Dr. @reverend1 and others

Edit: I’ve settled on the Revtron pickups, so if blue wins, it gets those and not HB’s. Only other diff is blue has an ebony board.

Has anyone played one of these? Looking for thoughts and impressions.

I played it at Namm. It's ok. If you like Reverends you'll like this.

I’ve been played a ton of them. Really a fun guitar. They sound a play great. They are great a high volume. No feedback. The bass contour got ves you a lot of sounds. Bigsby is rock solid.

It'd be better with a Floyd cop0

Has Reverend ever made a Floyd Rose equiped guitar?

There are a couple of prototypes but nothing made it to production.

Any particular impressions or observations Mark?

 

[Aahzz]

I'd love that without the poop knife.

There used to be a non-poop knife edition, but it looks like they've stopped offering it.

Here's a few videos. BTW that's a real poop knife not a licensed one.


P-90 version



and the HB version

Many years ago, Joe said he liked the licensed ones because they were more consistent. Seemed like marketing speak to me though.

I rather like their Tricky Gomez model

He says that all of the time. The PA is the only Reverend with the B70 the rest are licensed. I know Zak says they are easier to set up. This one has the real one because Pete insisted on it, Joe wasn't really happy about that.

Along the same line my friend that works at our former Mom and Pop Fender dealer, says the Squire stuff shows up with much better setups than the MIA stuff. Weird.

Even the models with the licensed Bigglesby version are pretty rock solid. It was spending time with a Spacehawk that finally made me turn around on Biggeezbys.

Yeah, normally the Bigsby isn't the issue, it's the nut, bridge, or the tuners. The soft spring makes a huge difference too. Put a Vibramate spoiler on it and string changes are easy too.

The vibramate is cheaper and less of a pain in the ass.

It's funny, until the internet, I didn't know string changes were tough on a Bigsby. They were always easy for me.

 

[bsman]

Bigsby string changes are child's play. Try changing strings on a 2TEK bridge sometime - that'll have you tearing your hair out!

I already own the pliers.
