I really like the control wiring, very useful. I've the same type of control layout in one of my Stratocasters.
"weEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
What is the Neck Radius? I have torn labrum under my arm and after tearing my humerus destroyed my shoulder and arm and I really want to play. My 12 inch radius guitars. I am wondering about if anyone makes the classic 7.25 radius, but some people say they choke out. I wonder if a 9.5 is better? I am home bound. It has been a year. The labrum is still torn in the joint.
@@fenatic7484 The 7.25" R can sometimes choke-out of cheaply built guitars. Typically you need better fretwork to keep the 7.25"R from having problems.. That is why 9.5"R are a little more common these days.
You should do a review of a Collings!! All of the reviews for them on TH-cam aren't nearly as detailed as you and I feel like you'll be blown away.
Thanks for the review! The cool thing about Reverend’s signature models is that the guitar you buy is the same guitar that the artist is playing on stage, not some stripped down version made for the general public.
Like all sig guitars….
Wow
@@bmark7951 not necessarily the case. There are plenty of artists out there that are replacing pickups, tuners, etc on their stage models.
@@bmark7951 definitely not the case. Sorry but a lot of manufacturers con buyers into this typically. Reverend is definitely a brand that is upfront and honest about this and their artist as well. Some other brands and especially one very big one I will not name is known for this.
@@lyric.kayden Go ahead, name them. 🤐
The pickup covers are probably designed after Melon Collie and the infinite sadness album cover and aeroplane flies high cover
I admire Reverend for having an original headstock design that actually looks cool.
I also like the Suhr one.
The Terz is a smaller scale standard G-G tuned guitar. I love mine as much as my BC1 and Z-One. Amazing instruments.
I was just coming to drop that science myself.
g-g what, it's e-e
@@jimthethirdprobably the Terz is G-G like a capo on the 3rd fret of a standard guitar.
The bass contour knob sounds like a great solution to some of the main problems with humbuckers. Sometimes they are too dark for some applications.
Yes
,more guitars should have that ,great feature.
I wired a high pass/low cut filter out of the bridge tone control on a 335, and made the neck tone into a master several years ago. Being able to roll off just a bit of low end and tightening it up was only second to the 5+2 Strat switching as the best electronics mod I've done. I worked in a repair shop, out of every 3 or so semihollow owners who tried mine had me convert theirs.
It can handle higher overdrive and fuzz much better then normal.
How do you go about wiring that high pass filter? Can you share any wiring diagrams please
Big Reverend fan. Great company with unparalleled customer service. That chip in the pocket would be a deal breaker for me.
Yeah they look and sound great to me as well. Not played one yet but would love to get my hands on them. Nice of them to even offer an authentic, modern Gibson finish quality feature with that neck pocket chip lol
Would send it back! Maybe he can’t because he paid someone else to put it on TH-cam?!
their QC is pretty trash, at least on the one I picked up. Sharp metal burrs should not cause you to nick your finger when resting your hand on the bridge. Granted easily fixed, but I shouldnt have to on this upper mid-level guitar.
Hey that's nice! I have a couple of Corgan "inspired" strats... a Sigler assembled copy of the Corgan Signature Strat, and a strat loaded up with the BSR Lace Sensors... this one would make a nice addition to the collection! LOVE those pickup covers!!! Very Pumpkins indeed 😍😍
I bought the BC1 and I really like it. Some people hate it. It’s polarizing.
I liked that it didn’t have a classic look and wanted something a little different.
I also really like the headstock.
The “Z” logo gives it Datsun 240z vibe 👍
I dig their bolt on neck series. I think I'd go for the Double Agent model
I like the unique string tree, the aluminium pickguard too that match the colour vibe.
The boost is good tools to have. Maybe checking out new Yamaha Revstar for the "unique" boost on it is another good reverence.
You have to hand it to Reverend...they make some great guitars. I lusted after an Unknown Hinson signature model with the p90s. Now you can't get 'em new I'm sad. The Billy Corgan one doesn't excite me as much but looks very cool. My latest Reverend obsession is the Greg Koch 'Gristlemaster'..a T style but slightly larger in the body and those pickups are INSANE!! Can you review that one if you haven't already?
Awesome review! I own mostly USA made guitars. Two exceptions are my Reverend Airwave 12-String and my brand new Reverend Cross Cut. These guitars are amazing, high quality, and do a lot of things Gibson and Fender should be doing but for some reason don't. Anyway if you are a USA guitar guy like me and want to try something different, check out Reverends, you will likely be blown away. The Railhammer pickups are P-90 inspired and really punch up the mojo.
Check out the Reverends from the 90's USA production. I was in awe back then but you couldn't find them in Britain!
I have a reverend and I do not like the tone of my bridge humbucker, it is way too bright for me but I think these railhammers are perfect since I like the sound of my p90 neck pickup.
Terz is a short scale tuned up.
Pickups are Railhammers in a P90 type pickup.
That sounds fantastic. The thing that grabs my attention is how clean the routs are unlike another brand frequently reviewed on this channel
In late 2003 or 2004 I bought a butterscotch fender toronado with p90s from guitar center; it was most expensive guitar I had bought up to that point. Fun guitar. I wish I still had it.
That guitar is nice looking. Way better that the first models. Never thought I'd want own or buy one but that guitar you're right, nails the classic look. Looking at it strapped up to you looks good.
They even make an Electric Terz Guitar which is an old 19th Century Guitar w/ a Shorter Scale Length & is designed to be tuned a minor third above a Standard Guitar at High G Standard Tuning which is the same as a Standard Guitar w/ a capo on the 3rd Fret. Billy Corgan Revived the Terz Guitar in a Solid Body Electric Version.
What pedal did you use when when you first turned on the dirt and played the full Bullet riff dirt?
Or was that the gain on the amp?
Thanks for the review! I just picked up a 2015 Reverend Warhawk with 3 of their P90's. Really been fun to play, so far. That Z-One may have to make it onto my wish list.
I played one and it's cool. It sounds nice and the string tension makes for some percussive strumming. I also noticed some similarities in design with my evh wolfgang which I thought were very interesting. However, none of the Reverend guitars I've tried have rolled fingerboard edges which make it uncomfortable. For $1,500 I wish they could have someone go over the wood edges edges with some sandpaper and include some type of case. I'll probably buy one used and do it myself because it is still really very cool.
Love the look of this guitar! I just wish the head stock was matching or painted black and it came with at least a good quality gig bag. 🤔
That pickguard's shape reminds me a lot of the Roland guitar synth's Strat-style controller guitar from the early 80's 🙂
Those chambers are where Billy Corgan hides his snacks from the other band members.
This
Took a chance on a Reverend Bob Balch signature. It has become my go to guitar. I absolutely love the bass contour. Fit and finish on mine is excellent.
i like this new one way more than his first 2 signatures. the 1 piece pickguard looks a lot better but i'm still not a fan of strat style bridges or maple fretboards
That thing sounds GREAT. Love the artwork on the pickup covers. The guitar itself looks very good. It looks like a lot of fun to play.
The floating pad is for the headstock. Wedge it in like you did the body.
Hey Trogley... love the show, mostly a rock for the Billy Corgan signature... that's a handsome piece of kit.
I have a peculiar enquiry... I was emailing a never-met-in person and noticed his profile pic was a dude playing a custom es-500? Left handed...
Anyway, turns out it's the chap from Rancid, Tim Armstrong... have you ever reviewed any of his guitars? Just curious?
Love the show, my favourite subscription. Keep up the good work sir
I picked up this signature guitar a couple weeks ago in metallic white. My first reverend, and I absolutely love the longer scale length, over all the pickups sound amazing for nailing that early Gish/Siamese dream tone. And you're right, the bass contour knob is useable, and super unique. My only downside is the build quality, I am used to Schecter guitars and every one I have picked up has been perfect out of the box, fret ends completely smooth. However there are a couple oversights on quality with the Reverend, there are a couple places on the bridge pickup cover that are insanely sharp, cut my finger the first time due to a pesky burr. Easily fixed with a file, but I should have to do that on a $1500 guitar.
Nice guitar, sounds great. You can take a low end guitar ( not saying this is low end ) a good amp, and great musician ( you ) to get great sound.
I would love to see a BC Rich review.
played those most of the night on their last tour. Used a les paul special and a 335 for a couple songs
wow im digging those pickup covers
Check out the Reverend Six Gun HPP. Same body shape but with two P90s and a humbucker. Maybe that's why the bridge rout is so big...
At first that was my thought then I realized the guards a partial cover on the 6gun so that can't be it as you'd see the route so I think it's more about allowing you a mod platform n a bit of weight relief then being lazy n just pumping out bodies on the cnc. 🤷
Ahh it's actually the 6gun with single coils that they made that route for
@@derrickharmon7980 the Six Gun is Korina though, but probably just use the same jug machine to rout.
The bumps on that Z logo is probably trying to mimic an early '60s silkscreened decal like you would see on a budget guitar from that era.
Another great demo. Way to go Reverend!
Nice. I just got my 25th anniversary Reverend 6Gun HPP today!
Very pretty guitar the Z-One, a unique look. To my ears the neck rail sounds bright and bit thin when clean, while distorted it sounds fine. My experience with a few different rail pups not just in this example. Still a decent guitar.
Wow, prices really are out of control.
People might not know who Smashing Pumpkins are? Now I feel old! Beatles? Who They?
That’s a good lookin’/sounding guitar👍🏼. Always liked the Smashing Pumpkins music✌🏼
I bloody love my Reverend P390 - It's a fab guitar and stands upto my higher value Gibsons and Fenders tbh.
I have a G&L Legacy Tribute stratocaster guitar in my guitar collection and the headstock is so similar
not the biggest fan of the headstock, but overall I think this guitar is very cool! Its got a unique design and sounds/looks great :)
Sounds better than most Gibson’s you review
My Z-One and BC1 topped my PRS and Gibson stuff for top spots out of 17 guitars.
Yeah I think Reverends actually stay in tune 😝
Hi
Happy Thursday HK. With 28 Golds in my case I will permanently retire at 30. I can’t keep them all.
@@sgt.grinch3299 WOW, 30 is pretty epic Sir.
Yeah, I usually accompany our K9s out into the yard around 6:30. We cannot leave them out alone due to our Eagle problem.
Eagles are cool, awesome and really big, however at times we have counted 36 of them in the sky above our home all at the same time! It goes without saying our Chihuahua are on their menu!
@@lettuce_spray This week has really flown by for me.
I can't believe tomorrow is already Friday!
@@lettuce_spray Indeed yes
does the color change the tone?
Hey Trogly, I would love to see you do the Robin Finck Reverend
I really like that. Im not a big fender fan but for some tele models but i like that
Call me when you get a Zwan signature guitar
Just so you know, Trogly, I went out and bought the Ron Asheton signature Jetstream 390 after I saw your review on that outfield ivy 390.
Also on a related note the guys at Wildwood Guitars are awesome and I’d recommend them to anyone!
Reverend is one of my new obsessions. In a world where everyone is doing their version of strat, tele, or LP it’s refreshing to see a company doing their own thing. But I really dig their T-style too.
This still seems very fendery to me but I still think Reverend makes good guitars. D’Angelico and Duesenberg are some of the more original makers today.
They have some good song. Wow.
Nice guitar but you usually dial in your lead sounds mainly with treble PU when guitars should use BOTH and then shape the sounds
Does that paint colour influence the tone?
It helps if you're playing light blues.
@@rexrathtar3893 Good One Rex
I saw that on a namm video
Not a bad looking guitar overall, different BUT it sounds fantastic and has some great tonal options, way to go Reverend! 👍
Definitely a looker and it sounds really good !
It looks like the tuning keys are staggered….very nice guitar!!!
Please review the reeves Gabriel’s signature the rock orange one
I don't care that much for the moder per se but dang that color is cool! Reminds me a lot of vintage car paint made by Dupont back in the late 30's and 40's.
Austin (or somebody), does gibson has a similar color?
Pelham blue
@@smelltheglove2038 pehlem blue is close but is darker isn't?
You said similar. It’s similar. They have silver burst too, and the mod shop has all kinds of weird colors.
@@smelltheglove2038 ahahaha fair
you should do a review on a bc rich warlcock could be intresting
Lol those saddles are maxed out 🤣
I noticed that as well...............
I really like this one, but I think I would: reshape the square end of the neck to match the curve of the pickguard hidden under it, set a dark wood dowel into the truss rod opening, and carve out the pickguard for a second pickup ring on the neck pickup. Having said that, I lost interest when I saw that it only comes in maple fingerboard and ice blue or black body.
I like this company in general but I would chose one of their other models over this one. this is great for someone who also likes Fenders. that ain't me.
Cool guitar. It’s got Novo vibes too.
I bought a Purple 3 P90's Reverend and I Love it
Greetings Randy.
3 P90s and any color sounds awesome, purple would be the icing on the cake.
The title alone made me click the video LMAO
truly we are a Reverend Billy Corgan Signature Z-One guitar in a cage
Ya
Well done Tyler on making the Podium for today. Enjoy your Bronze Medal.
Congrats Tyler
Would be cool to see Trogly demo a Greg Koch signature model.
Reverends are interesting I’m glad you are checking them out.
it looks great. Enough Retro vibe to keep it getting dated quickly. It has balz big time with those PU's almost a hot P90 sound.
That is a nice looking guitar
While I'm not a pumpkins fan, I totally fuck with the vibe of this thing. The engraved covers are a seriously nice touch too.
Greetings and well wishes from Utah!
Greetings from MI Radio.Static.0218
Yeah, this guitar has a fresh vibe all its own.
Tell the Osmonds we say hey
@@chrishenderson9130 politely, who the fuck are the Osmonds?
@@chrishenderson9130 I still have a crush on Marie!
"She's a little bit Country"!
My bro was asking what xmas gift I wanted. So picked up my sweetwater 2022 book, flipped throw it got a belle from wampler (which I got and best OD besides his tumnus) anyway, I flip and saw "Billy Corgan "and 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯. Billy corgan and john frusciante where my hero's and shaped my playing. Buckley and Smith as well,but that was after I had a handle on what I sounded like. Corgan musicianship is brilliant. My list of "Albums to save a life" has 3 billy corgan ones. In 04' was in the car and bullet with butterflies wing came on and my jaw dropped. This was when iPhones weren't a thought. If you liked something but didnt knownthe name YOU DIDNT KNOW.
$1800 seems kind if high...
That’s MSRP, which we never pay at retail. It’s always lower at retail.
It's Korean, Alder, no CTS pots?, bolt-on, QC flaws.. perfect at $599. at that price point they could stuff it in a paper bag for me, it would still make sense.
Troglys getting his pumpkins 🎃 on🤘
I'm really digging that color with the aluminum pickguard! Thanks for the review Trogly!
I’d never heard of this brand before until today. Interesting.
They’ve been around since the early ‘90’s.
@@irvan36mm Oh cool. I didn’t start playing til 2000 but I’m surprised I don’t remember seeing then back then while looking at musicians friend catalogs on the pooper haha
I dig it!
Looks cool and sounds good.
I’ve played a few Reverend guitars and they were all super cool but seemed like they had skinny neck widths and slim taper profile to them. That was the only thing I couldn’t bond with.
If Reverend would make a fat neck I’d definitely pick one up. Heck maybe they need to sell aftermarket necks???
What a cool guitar. Thanks for the video!
Reminds me of a Jazzmaster with a weird pickguard
Dude, look up "60 minutes with Kiss" Paul can be seen playing your Flying V custom.
Reverend sensei RA are great if you get the chance to try one of those
Those are railhammers/humcutters. P90 versions of the railhammers made by joe naylor founder of reverend.
Well, with some good drill bits and some ingenuity, you can mod that to have like coil split/series parallel switching, and maybe a buckethead kill switch… those chambers under the pickguard remind me of a Jazzmaster or Jaguar routing.
I like it alot \m/
I am always impressed with Reverend guitars, yet NEVER think of them. I am gonna HAVE to get one.
mini humbucker for that middle spot
I LIKE THAT ONE!!!!❤️🔥😱👏🏻
Waffles*Waffles*Waffles

my favorite reverend is the unknown hinson signature, maybe check that one out if you can ever find one!
Especially since Unknown Hinson got canceled a couple years back for saying some un PC things.
They made a toned down version, the Stuart D Baker. The dude behind the persona. He said some Early Cuyler type things irl though.
@@tippytailmckitty2658 yeah they unpartnered with him to my knowledge, he may have deserved it but the guitar looked cool
@@dublev78 just read this one, I guess they didn't unpartner with him technically, but that's cool that they made a toned down version
I’d pay $799 for something like this with no case. Honestly all guitar prices have gone up. Fender MIM can go for $1,499 and Americans are now $1,799. Big mark ups from Pre Covid. I feel if you’re gonna pay $1,499 might as well get that American Fender for $1799 or Gibson. Not long ago about $1300-$1500 would get you a good American made top brand. Now it gets you a Mexican that’s not horrible, but usually needs to go right to the shop to get setup.
The fretboard looks tasty. Looks like a good player.
Revs are probably my favorite guitars
Great video.
This looks so much better, I dig it
You gotta check out one of the original aluminum body USA-made Reverend guitars.
PLEASE review the Reverend Reeves Gabriels Dirtbike or the Sensei Jr!!
I just had someone NGD the flametop version yesterday
