@@andreaswagner6022 Duesenberg is great, but their prices have gone through the roof over the last years, cheapest guitar you can get is around 1,300, with most guitars around or above 2,000. I'm not saying that they're not worth it, but they are in a whole different price range than Reverend,about double the price.
@@LimboJimbo True. The guitars are to cheap. Yet they have their own hardware and pick ups. I think the quality of e.g. the switches is superior over many components used in other similarly priced instruments. And when you produce these parts in comparably little quantities you don't reach economical scaling effects. Further the guitars are handmade. Even though components are produced in far east. I think the package is value for money.
Couldn’t agree more. My local shop has been rolling through them and I’ve literally tried to find one that had bad quality control because I figured “they can’t all be good” and they surprised me every time. Every one is set up perfectly
Reverend is the best deal going, they stay in tune and have spot on intonation above the twelfth fret.. I wasn’t used to that. My Gibsons and fenders all are sharp or flat when I pick them up, not my two reverends..the superior nuts, the roller bridges and locking tuners.. the tuning is just spot on.. I was t used to it. I don’t care about anything else, they stay in tune and they perform like a champ. And the amount of pickup combinations are stellar. Glad to see chappers wasn’t on this, I can’t stand him. Good review,guys.
@@sketchyold I think all of us like to rock out sometimes, but when trying to determine the sound quality of a guitar using extreme gain has very limited use in evaluating the pickups. Unless of course your goal is to get a guitar that is going to be doing nothing but high-gain.
"Did he ever get the patent?" -- He certainly did. Beginning in 1962, the PAFs began carrying labels that showed the patent number instead of "Patent Applied For". The new label read "Patent Number 2,737,842."
However, the famous collectible Gibson LPs are the 58, 59, and 60 model years that had PAF marked pickups in them. And note there are only 4,000 of the 2,500 originals left!
Actually Gibson avoided to place patent number as long as possible and once they have started placing numbers on the stickers they have intentionally placed a number from some other guitar part. Why? Well they wanted to prevent other Companies to use patent to help them engineer their own solution. So P.A.F. was way to claim it is protected by the law but avoid giving the technical information to other companies.
The bass roll off is a audio log pot. So most change happens right in the beginning of turning it down. To get a lot more adjustment range, I changed mine out for a reverse audio log and it gave me much more adjustment. Its a super interesting control to mess with when plugged into a fuzz that cleans up when you back volume down
A lot of Reverend's guitars remind me of the stuff being manufactured by Teisco and Harmony in the 70s and 80s. That have that distinct Japanese vibe to them that screams retro, but with a modern edge.
I absolutely love Reverend Guitars. Something about them just draws me in and makes me want to play. Those necks are so firm and straight. The frets are nice and big, The look, the feel, the sound. Sooo good.... I'm going to buy another. I also love the hand signed inspections on the back of the headstock.
I love Reverend Guitars! I have a Manta Ray 390 (finished in a lovely color called Mulberry Mist, a kind of creamy strawberry) that I absolutely adore. So incredibly well-made, the pickups sound great, love the bass knob, locking tuners, and so playable. GREAT value for the price, no doubt about it. Now when I dream about my next guitar, I tend to focus almost exclusively on Reverends. I admit I am a sucker for their retro-yet-contemporary design aesthetic. So cool!
I’m a big fan of Reverend’s...great players at mid level prices. If you haven’t played one, you should...Joe Naylor and Ken Haas are true innovators and geared to producing quality instruments for real world players.
Yes! They eventually got the Patent for the humbuckers in '59. But only added the Patent numbers a while later. Although both have the same design, PAF pickups are much more sought after than their Patent number counterparts in the vintage guitar market.
Thank you guys ... you did it again! Great axes from a not so popular manufacturer: - they look great and do have that little extra to stand up against "total copies" of LP or Jag or Tele style of common runners in the market - i liked the looks of all 3 types - they sound great individually ! No need to compare them - that T-type was totally new to me; great blue wonder (;-) So, thanks a lot for this great demo!
If I think about who I associate playing Reverend guitars - they are mostly post-rock players (and no, I don't mean Royal Mail workers!) so you want that volume knob reaaaallll close to the strings so you can do easy volume swells. Just my two cents! Great video as always folks.
You guys at Andertons are awesome. My last two guitars I got was due to your reviews. I play contemporary Christian music and this video has me thinking Reverend not because of the name but being something different. Everyone has the same sound looking for something different. Keep up the great work if ever I’m over there I’m coming by to check your shop out
Just got my Gristle 90 from you guys last week; it’s awesome, thank you. Great service in the shop. Bradford Beach Blue, looks, sounds and plays brilliantly 😊.
Been a fan of Reverend - even when it was still located in Michigan, and somehow, I've always managed to have one of their models in my small quiver o' guitars. Been thru quite a few models over the years, and I've now a Double Agent W (the one with the Wilkinson trem, chronic blue w/' tortoise guard). There's just something about these guitars that make them instantly comfortable to play, and why I'll always have one, but I think my DAW is a true 'keeper'....And yes - that Avocado color is the bomb!
That the Captain thought that American Woman was written by Lenny Kravitz was heartbreaking. Then to be unable to remember the great Canadian band The Guess Who...Cap...
Ive been considering getting a Reverend Roundhouse. I saw one on the website of my nearest dealer (sorry not Andertons) and was blown away with the colour Italian Purple. Now I wonder where I got the idea of getting a purple guitar from???
Well, at least I have already a few gigbags anyway and if I had a new one with every new guitar, my house would be flooded with gigbags... I only need one at the time, maybe two at the most.
One of the large music stores in Melbourne Australia were practically giving these away. When I asked apparently they're extremely unpopular here. Great guitars tho. Apparently their unpopularity is uniquely just here in Australia.
Little music store I used to go to in the middle of nowhere Arizona couldn’t sell them either. They were too expensive for the locals and not a fender or Gibson. It is a shame, because they rock.
@@BaronsDuju Ha! I guess you're talking about a while ago but they coincidentally just serviced one of my Reverends last month (faulty aftermarket pickup) and the guy was excited to try one.
Lee, I have noticed your guitar skills steadily improving - not that you were bad, you are just getting better every time I tune in - unlike myself sadly - boo hoo for me, bravo to you! I love your show mainly because of your guitar playing - whatever your doing, please share! Your fan, Carl
Great again... I just watched your review of the Contender. What is your take compare to it and Sensei? The HB should be the same? Is the pickup height the same? Thanks.
A few weeks ago I received my Double Agent W and I absolutely love it :-). The only thing that slightly bothers me is the string action particularly past the 7th fret, I presume this is because the Wilkinson trem is raised off the body to allow some pullback on the bar (it's my first Wilkinson trem by the way). I can see the two Allen key adjusters either side of the trem but my question is; will just winding them down be ok? Or are there other things that need to be done to make sure the intonation\tuning etc is unaffected?
I own a Reverend BC-1, Billy Corgan Signature, which you reviewed some time ago. Great guitar, very rich tone, especially in clean sound. Though its action is quite high for me, and design kinda whacky. Still I love it.
Who ma mate Trev , yeah mate he comes from Dagenham. Daggers Trev we all call him. He always has a good powerful eggy fart just before he leaves the paper shop. Great bloke Trev.
slight concern about the trem hole, if you got something jammed in your hole, being a wee hole it could be very difficult getting it out. painful if you need your wiggle stick at a gig. suggestions welcome. respect to you guys.
I've been hoping to see Pete play Greg Koch's guitar! Mostly because I can't find one near me and I wondered about the body size vs a Tele. But mostly because I want to see Pete play guitars!
Really wish they had fatter necks. Like closer to 1" or 25mm. Other than that, I've been a big fan of Reverend for years. Especially since they got ol' Greg Koch, the Gristle Missile, on board.

100%. Also, the only brand if I see something awesome I’ll order it sight unseen. I own 3 now! They are addictive!
Those guitars look and sound fantastic. Greg is a beast of a player and his guitar has to match up so am sure it is just a killer.
TIL Thursday in start of the week in England.
Great intro and I am happy to see the Reverend love. As always a great vid
I love my Reverend Double Agent OG, the roasted maple neck is a thing of beauty. It's almost as good as my American Tele. Almost.
Filtertrons and P90s are going to become super popular in the best few years.
that opening jam was the best I've ever heard Lee!
Hearing Pete and the Captain play reminds me of how few notes you have to play to sound good.
Just got my Gristle 90 from you guys last week; it’s awesome, thank you. Great service in the shop. Bradford Beach Blue, looks, sounds and plays brilliantly 😊.

@10:50 That looks similar to Bei Weinman's signature Esp/Ltd. I like it! Like the Jetstream aswell. Especially the blue one.
Reverend are just so great and cool guitars.

Remind me a lot of G&L guitars. Even the headstock and controls extremely similar to my Doheny.
Now I'm the happy owner of reverend) Club King rt. Thanks for your videos about these great guitars!
pete is such a great guitar player
Really enjoyed the roundhouse.
Wonder what famous Telecaster inspired that new Greg Koch sig colour... 👀
We will never know... 😉 💜
Lee's opening solo...*chef's kiss*
great jam opening omg thank you!!!!
Waiting on my first Reverend. I’m liking the jet stream as well.
Bmc138 get the 390, it's awesome!
Cool Guitars! 🎸✨👌
Hole in the tip!!!! Ease it in!!!!!! Pete’s having too much fun !! CHEERS!!
Don’t know how I’ve never heard of reverend before. Holy shit! The captains tone sounded amazing! Fuck. I want one!
This video overview of reverend models was way better then the one you did with Chapman. 🔥
I do like the look of Reverend guitars. different enough to be refreshing.
would love to see you guys get tim henson in for an interview with the captain
His playing blows my mind
that would be VERY interesting
Optional guitar case is like saying toilet paper is an option.
What, in the sense that without it your sh*t ends up in pieces all over the place in both cases?! 😝
Well, at least I have already a few gigbags anyway and if I had a new one with every new guitar, my house would be flooded with gigbags... I only need one at the time, maybe two at the most.
Not every guitar player gigs. Lots of guitars spend a lot of time sitting on a stand in a bedroom. Adding a case adds cost...
I really like the Roundhouses.
This one made me smile.
One of my favorite opening jams yet.
Nice taste, Lee🎸
That's some good warm jamming.
Thanks for bringing up switch positions around 13:00. Something I've been wondering about.
Great guitars guys. American Woman was by the Guess Who originally. A great Canadian band.
That Avocado Green is beautiful
& it's a healthy colour choice... 😉
Hey guys nice groove.. has a bit of “I keep forgetting” to it :) Pete what flavour is the scale you are using over the Dom 7 chord? Melodic minor?
Pete's opening guitar reminded me of the Run DMC lyric, "...And Yellow and Green when its time to get ill..."
Palate, Pallet & Pallette.

Very nice Guitars and Tones! JUST WISH THEY MADE MORE IN LEFT HANDED VERSIONS!!!!! LOVE to have one!
Love the Pete/Mayer flash at 0:19 - don't really care for the Reverend line, but fantastic playing gents!
Yes. After that, in the 60’s they were “patent sticker”
Pickups with the patent number on them.
Wilkinson trems are fantastic. Maybe the best of the non-Floyd trems.
And affordable
Something about the tone of those Gretsch-style pickups and Koa...
Same volume and toggle positions as most PRS models, outside of the 594 range
My absolute fave *-*
Great again... I just watched your review of the Contender. What is your take compare to it and Sensei? The HB should be the same? Is the pickup height the same? Thanks.
I own The Balch by Reverend. Its an amazingly versatile guitar but boy it shines playing fuzz (which is Fu Manchu's sound)
Good question about the PAF, Captain!
American Woman, the Guess Who. Canadian band.
Who knew Capt. Lee had R&B licks in the bag?! #Salute

Love the Greg Koch Sig guitar sound
The Gristlemaster really nails the tone!
Compared mine to a Custom Shop Tele. Sounded as good and dead quiet with the Fishmans.
i want a gristlemaster as my next guitar, i was gonna buy a tele anyways, but this is a bit bigger and with awesome specs out of the box
The little boost built-in really makes the guitar sing! a great addition to the t-style range.
Sound amazing
I have the Kyle Shutt signature model based on the Manta Ray I absolutely love it. I want to buy another Reverend guitar!
Awesome playing Pete. Now I am compelled to go buy something from Andertons (as commanded by the Captain)
Still regret selling my buckshot from reverend. Gotta hop back on the reverend bandwagon at some point, they're just so good
3:21 biggest sigh ever
Love my crosscut
I'd like to see the Captain & Pete jam out on the new Reverend Six Gun HPP and Gristle 90.
Looking and souding great. The Jetstream is almost a stripped down Duesenberg.
Love that Jetstream in avocado, the pickup selector position bothers me though. Can see me hitting that every time a strum a chord in my clumsy way
