The red one made me think "Hotrod" right away.
I kinda like it.
With the unique-ish shape, I'd like to see how well it hangs on a strap.
 
Reminds me of the Ibanez jet king. It's got a nice mosrite-ish 60s vibe. Not something I need, but not bad.
 
I'm not hating the green one. Those pickups look cheap. They look like they came off an Electromatic. Maybe with a nice set of TV Jones Filtertrons. What's it cost?

That's what struck me.. There's an awful lot of similarities there; might even be from the same factory.

Might be built in the same factory perhaps, but the design is by Mr. Nebelung himself (and all his custom guitars are built here in Norway).
No idea how intentional those similarities might be though.

One of the first things I noticed on the nebelung guitars is the bass cut knob...and thought that's awful similar to the Reverend bass contour knob.
Then I noticed that those pickups look like they're Revtrons. Nebelung's site mentions that the production guitars are made 'by one of the best companies in the business' and given the price, that's probably not in Norway :wink:

Clearly design elements, body shape and headstocks are unique to Nebelung.

I did a quick google of nebeling + reverend and found this:

"In 2013 informs Nebelung that production is moved back to Korea, the same factory that builds Reverend guitars."

"(A limited run of guitars are also made with Railhammer Hyper Vintage pickups)"

So it looks like there's prb a bit of a relationship/cooperation between Reverend & Nebelung...nothing wrong with that. The MIK Reverends are very nice guitars so I'd imagine the Nebelungs are too.

I see there are lots of good players over here using the Nebelungs so they're clearly decent guitars.
Haven't had the chance to try one out though.

Good detective work. :wink:
