Traditional with a bit of extra warmth, the Talnico bridge pickup and Salnico middle and neck pickups have a beefy, early '50s twang that is never harsh. The whole effect is balanced and pleasant. The sleek, offset Korina body, equipped with a Wilkinson WVII 50 tremolo and Reverend's own Bass Contour control, allows players to transition from a rich shimmer and twang to a leaner, more classic tone. This guitar may sometimes sound retro, but it doesn't look or feel like you borrowed it from your dad's collection.
