The bolt-on neck models are 6 bolt. The smaller two screws are pick-guard screws and are meant to keep the plate attached to the body when you remove the neck, which is a nice touch. Great video guys!
Worship Tutorials actually they are neck plate screws the two smaller ones which hold the neck plate in place if the need for removing the neck is ever needed. The pickguard is on the front of a guitar, not the back. That square metal piece on the back where the neck joins to the body is called a neck plate.
@@lyric.kayden maybe if you read WT's comment again you will realize that he already knew the things you insisted on "teaching" him. He obviously only called the two small screws pickguard screws to describe their size, and he had also correctly described their function.
Reverend makes incredible guitars and give you more for your money than from the AAA companies. (Fit and finish, switching options, custom pickups, etc.) Don't take my word for it, try them yourself.
I tried one for the first time a couple of days ago and was so surprised in a great way. Loved it! I could see it was a very high-quality build, felt great, was gorgeous, and just wanted to take it home. Will get one at some point, defnitvely
I have 3 Reverends: The Rick Vito, Club King RT and the Pete Anderson RT. They are very fun guitars, I think everyone should have one in their collection. It's not easy to find your "chosen one" because they make so many kind with different sounds and styles, but when you do find one, you'll get that feeling you get when you make a new friend.
I like the entire staff. Pete's playing is really nice but he does at times just grab for a lot of notes like Chappers does. They're both guilty of it and so are most other guitarists. It's just something you do early on when playing and then you learn to restrain it.
Yeah, I've been bugging them to do one for ages. I don't know if they would use this sig though as it would eat up most of their budget. Also I'm always a little let-down when they just grab a sig instead of trying to find a regular guitar model that will do the job.
well since billy used various strats throughout most of his career, they would probably pick out some sort of squier, a hot-rodded one preferably (if there is one in the upper ranges), since they can't really put lace sensors into the squier.. I'm really curious about the amp choice though, I'm pretty sure they would go with something versatile, like the blackstar HT series or maybe the egnater tweaker? since billy used JCM800s in the early smashing pumpkins years, then in the mid 90-s he used a marshall JMP-1 valve preamp into a mesa strategy 500 poweramp, later on into 2000 and onwards he used all kinds of amps, noticeably Diezel amps..
Please no, they always fuck up fuzz tones and I can't stand Rabea butchering great songs. Prime example is the Tool stuff, didn't play a single riff correctly and got nowhere close to the right tone
+vikonja121 use a blackstar on the KT-88 setting, JHS Muffaletta (Billycorgan setting,level cranked,tone at 1 and gain at max)and any half decent guitar. Simple rig unless you wanna get into how everything on Siames dream was ran through a phaser and having butch vig work his thing
I agree, their guitar/amp/effects choice could tonally probably cover only a fraction of the songs.. honestly I've seen enough to know that they'll just jam in a big muff, play some siamese dream riffs like cherub rock and today, then do a clean tone with 1979 and another dirty with bullet with butterfly wings.. lame stuff
I've got the Buckshot and as much as I hate to fall victim to confirmation bias...I think that these are terrific guitars. Very affordable sleepers that sound, look and play great and include thoughtful design touches. (Courtesy of Joe Naylor & Co.) The Corgan sounds especially great on this demo: clean, stringy and balanced, even with high gain. Impressive.
I've played the Sensei Jr, which has tone, volume and bass contour knobs on it. Despite the fact it's only got one pickup - if you can't do it with that... (Other than high gain/djent music - which you don't want a P90 for).
That Jetstream sounds fantastic. The Sensei line are great guitars, they have great sounding humbuckers as well. Would love to see more of the Reverend line, particularly the Double Agent OG, and the Mantas. More with the Sheriff too please!
I went to my local guitar shop, intent on buying the orange left handed Jetstream with the 3 P90s. When I saw the Manta Ray I changed my mind. I'm not a big fan of whamolo arms and prefer humbuckers. It's a fantastically lovely guitar. Definitely would recommend it to anyone. Girlfriend fell out with me for spending a grand on a guitar and a pedal.
Oh, and the 2 extra screws in the middle of the neck plate are to keep the plate in place when you take the neck off - a nod from Joe Naylor to guitar techs everywhere.
Billy Corgan threw a fit at a show I went to during the mellon collie tour and he ran offstage as soon as the contractual minimum time for the show had been reached - about 45 minutes. The rest of the band just stood onstage trying to figure out what to do, so James Iha walked up to a mic and said, "I'm sorry, everybody" and they left the stage. As it turned out, word was that Corgan was angry that they hadn't completely sold out so he took his anger out on the people who DID buy tickets. I have no respect for any artist who has such disrespect for me, so I'll never ever buy anything he's associated with again.
I honestly don't know what to think of Billy, but I love Smashing Pumpkins so much that if I ever got to meet him, one thought would be repeating over and over in my mind: Please don't be a dick. Please don't be a dick. Please don't be a dick.
As a long time fan, there are many sides to Billy Corgan. Crybaby is indeed one of them. He's also been known to be a pretentious ego and insecurity driven control freak. He's also been a genuine intelligent guy and a musical genius. He's a man of contradictions. I mean his band could call equal influence from the Cure, Sepultura, Shoegaze, the Scorpions, Rush, Electronica, and Joni Mitchell. I'd like to think he's bit mellower these days, he has a wife and a kid, and recently got back on good terms with all the original members- something I thought would never happen, but look at Guns n Roses. He's also a legitimate shredder and a studio wizard worthy of a signature guitar.
I played a getstream the other day, was totally blown away. Got to get one. For real. I’ve played for a long time, lots of different guitars. These guitars are fantastic. Well done Andertons and Reverend.
Hey Rob and the Captain, greetings from the USA. Some time ago I watched one your videos on how to play standing up, something I have always struggled with. I took your advise and bought a good guitar strap, and started practicing. The real benefit was to my posture while playing seated. My back would ache, and I would have pain in my right shoulder, and my the muscles in my right arm would tense. Now when I play seated, I use my strap as when playing while standing, letting the guitar hang from the strap. My posture improved, my picking hand "found" its ideal position on the bridge, and my playing has really improved. Now I play without pain, and practicing and playing is much more enjoyable. That one tip really made a difference. Thanks, and cheers.
dear whoever edits this, I wish you would only pan the guitars when they are both jamming together. It bugs me when they are playing separate and its off center. from, headphone users.
The eight bolt neck is actually a six bolt neck. The two middle ones just hold the neck plate in position while you get the six actual neck bolts in. Really helpful for the guy working on the instrument. The neck plate stays with the body instead of getting knocked around on the work bench and lost. A couple other neat things (for us guitar techs anyway) you guys didn't mention are the dual action truss rods that give you greater control over the curve of the neck and the graphite nuts that come as standard. Nice touches that make the guitars easier to work on and more stable when you play them. Another nice touch that ALL bolt neck bodies should share, is the tight neck pocket. Again, its not something you notice while playing. You just realize one day that you never really have to tune up in the middle of a gig. A slight adjustment here or there but otherwise, they just play and play. It's because the neck doesn't shift around in the pocket. Yes the six screws hold it, but they don't have to work as hard because the fit of the wood is so tight. Reverend really makes some nice, high quality instruments.
Not sure where you heard that but that is not true. They simply hold the neck plate in place if you remove the neck. I own multiple Reverends and have removed the necks on a few as well. There is no kind of tilt mechanism.
I made a bad assumption I guess. I owned a Buckshot and just always figured that's what they were for. Never had a need to remove the neck or make any adjustments. Thanks for setting me straight!
This is the first time in a long time you guys have demoed guitars that seem to actually sound different to me. Normally, it's all a variation of a common theme, but these feel fresh. Does that make sense? I want one.
I've always wanted a Reverend. They have a reputation as outstanding guitars at fair prices. Corgan is a tremendnous vote of confidence for the brand since the dude is a major guitar expert/geek.
Hey guys why don't you do a test video on cheap and expensive cables (long and pedal connectors) and how much they effect the overall sound of a rig....???? It should be fun!!!
I've got a Reverend Flatroc and had a Sensei with Railhammers for a while, they were both amazing. I've played a Pete Anderson Reverend-made Tele that was amazing as well. Never picked up a disappointing Reverend.
Guys, I'll never look at a 'Buck stop' the same way ever again. I literally had to re-watch Lee's impression at least three times in a row. Bloody brilliant :D
There are 8 screws on the neck plate but only 6 bolt to the neck. The other 2 hold the plate to the body so if you take the neck off, the plate stays put.
I believe it's actually a 6 bolt neck; the two smaller ones just go into the body, not through to the neck. They are there so if you remove the the neck those two hold the plate to the body. So it's 6 that go from the plate, through the body to the neck, and two that just go from plate to body.
That Jetstream 390 that Rob plays around the 11:00 point is amazing! Tremendous diversity of sounds and a very musical guitar in general. Looks like a killer as well - 3 P90's really super cool.
Was glad to see you do something with P90's. I love the P90 tone. Sure, they hum some, but that can be managed, and it's worth it for that tone. Now-a-days a lot of people assume they are 2nd rate, semi-obsolete pickups. No way. They are just different and sound great. Please do more with P90's.
Never had a guitar with P90's until a few weeks ago when I picked up a 14' Gibson Melody Maker & Epi 3 P90 Riviera - awesome fat, warm, gritty, punchy, tone. My new favorite pup!
I Just wanted to reach out & thank you guys for making these videos. The enormous amount of knowledge that you all share with one another & your audience is not only rarely found in one place on youtube, but when it is... it's the most dry and boring droning on earth; I'm not one to sit through that (no matter how much I want to learn). You guys have so much fun together & thoroughly enjoy guitars & all that comes with them in such a way that you don't have to struggle to impart wisdom upon your viewers. Damn this is wordy.... TL:DR THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! LOVE YOU & YOUR VIDEOS. YOU HAVE REIGNITED THE DORMANT GUITARIST INSIDE OF ME. SENDING LOVE FROM ACROSS THE POND!
What do you guys think about the Charvel Pro Mod SD1 HH? I'm thinking of buying one because I want a versatile guitar that's also good for heavy music. How does it compare to a similarly priced Jackson or Ibanez?
Just so everyone is aware it's actually a 6 bolt neck. The two screws in the middle just keep the plate from falling off if you have to change the neck or do some work. I really love my Reverend Double Agent I bought a couple years ago... Sorry Rob but I bought it over your ML-2... :/
the reason for the 8 screws in the neck plate.......6 large screws are for the neck, the 2 smaller screws in the middle are to hold the plate on the guitar body when/if you remove the neck. Don't know why they did it.
I picked up a Jetstream 390 just like the one in the vide about 9 months ago. That bass contour makes the guitar super versatile, and it excels with clean chimey tones. I'm not a high distortion player like these guys typically are. It works well with my rather large pedalboard as well. It's become my #1 go to guitar over my Custom Shop '60 Les Paul RI or CS Tele. Amazing value for the money and a real pro level guitar. My soundguy loves it because it mixes so well, I play to about 5000-6000 people a week so that really matters to me.
OK. That Sensei junior sounds really nice (actually the 3x p90 does, too) gets kind of a Leslie West tone at times,,, Hey... (unless you have done it already?) how's about a "Sounds like Leslie West/Mountain without breaking the bank" video? He had one of my favourite guitar sounds of all time, and i believe he was a one pickup guy, as well. Any seconders for this????
Love m Rev's. I think they're one of the best deals out there. If you were at NAMM did you get to meet Tricky Gomez? I heard he stopped by the both for a short visit.
The idea about the bass contour is great. I think they are going for a strat-ier selection of tones especially when you want to do the in-between thing.
I got a chance to play the Unknown Hinson model for about an hour in Las Vegas recently. I was really impressed and could definitely see adding one to my collection.
I just stumbled upon your videos yesterday and subscribed so greeting from the USA. I drifted away from concert going in my late 20's my last concert was Disturbed in the late 90's, so i'm a bit out of touch. Billy played a Stratocaster when I saw them in 88. Also, James played a Gibson LP and D'arcy played a fender P-bass. When did Billy switch to Reverend?
Hey Guys, why don't You do a batch of VIntage wilkinson guitars? so You can definitely demonstrate to the public how Chapman Gtrs are superior in terms of conception and craftmanship to its target market competitors? Thanks
Love single pickup guitars. I own an LTD Screaming Skull with one pickup, one volume knob, it is hands down the best guitar and I would suggest buying one if your looking for a high quality single pickup guitar.
Don't think it's an eight bolt neck. If I remember I think the two smaller ones in the middle are there to hold the plate on when you remove the neck. Corgan guitar has Railhammer pickups in it.
Got the coffee burst Sensei RA FM at 0.42 seconds a quality instrument love it... The Korina has a bright tone... Well done Lee & Chappers for the demo... Just for the record Rob .The Bass contour control.Gives you the capability to Gjent or sound like a Telecaster and anything in between... Food for thought dude... The Sensei was named after Joe Naylor's wife who is a 5th Dan Jujitsu Sensei, apparently..
Wonderful review again guys, but you messed up on describing the pickups. The humbuckers (the ones with poles and bars as well as the Billy Corgan signature set) are Railhammers... not made by the guy from Reverend for as far as I know... ;) Railhammer pickups are worth a review just for their design and tonal difference from other brands!
Apologies... after researching I found out the Reverend and Railhammer guy are one and the same... and they do sell all these wonderful pickups separately, even the Corcan Signature... But still, I'd like to see pickup reviews, compare these to some popular Duncan or EMG sets!
It seems that Joe Naylor's use of retro style guitar bodies and pickups are appealing. Keeping that in mind, why not introduce a couple of Jazzmaster/ Jaguar type guitars with P-90 pickups and/or covered Humbuckers into the Chapman Guitars lineup? You could name it the ML-New Orleans...or NO
Great vid guys, but I have to utter one wish.. When just one of you test the guitars and don't play together.. could you pan the sound to the center? Having the guitar on just one side really throws me off.. haha. Thanks for great stuff!
Well....I had already been looking at Reverend's, especially the Buckshot and the Billy Corgan but I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Corgan just for those pickups...they're legit.
Got to get a couple Reverends !!I'm thinking Volcano V and Kingbolt with the Railhammers and Wilkinson tremolo !! Also want the Jetstream with Wilkinson trem and 3 p-90's !!
I know Joe Naylor(The founder of Reverend)'s daughter who recommended i get one when i got the chance. Well after talking to Ken I finally have my hands on this kick ass niche of guitars. It is absolutely gorgeous and plays like nothing I've heard. Recommend 100% support these local Detroiters!!
"Hey, I'm Rebecca Dirks"
"And I'm Danish Pete from Andertons."
Yes please. That'd be incredible.
Yeeesssssssss rig rundown
Matt Snyder gaahhhh, I miss Rebecca Dirks!!
The bolt-on neck models are 6 bolt. The smaller two screws are pick-guard screws and are meant to keep the plate attached to the body when you remove the neck, which is a nice touch. Great video guys!

The pickguard is on the front of a guitar, not the back. That square metal piece on the back where the neck joins to the body is called a neck plate.
Lyric Klein even Reverend describes them as scratchplate screws. It's because they are the same screws used to hold the scratchplate on.
@@lyric.kayden maybe if you read WT's comment again you will realize that he already knew the things you insisted on "teaching" him. He obviously only called the two small screws pickguard screws to describe their size, and he had also correctly described their function.
Reverend makes incredible guitars and give you more for your money than from the AAA companies. (Fit and finish, switching options, custom pickups, etc.) Don't take my word for it, try them yourself.
I tried one for the first time a couple of days ago and was so surprised in a great way. Loved it! I could see it was a very high-quality build, felt great, was gorgeous, and just wanted to take it home. Will get one at some point, defnitvely
Honestly these are some of the best sounding guitars I've heard
The tone Rob gets off that first guitar with the three p90s is absolutely killer
I want that!
I have 3 Reverends: The Rick Vito, Club King RT and the Pete Anderson RT. They are very fun guitars, I think everyone should have one in their collection. It's not easy to find your "chosen one" because they make so many kind with different sounds and styles, but when you do find one, you'll get that feeling you get when you make a new friend.
Picked up a Reverend Sensei RA earlier this year and I couldn't be happier with it, it's such a solid guitar.
Underrated guitar brand
The bass roll on is wonderful, never thought p90s could sound that huge
Jaysus, tell you editor he is amazing. I love that he just picks up on the humor and makes it better.
These things honestly just blew my socks off. That tone on the 390 is insane!
The bass roll on and off pot is one of the most important aspects to these guitars.
LOVE the P90 pickups. I have a PRS SE One Korina and it's my favorite... one pickup... one knob... infinite possibilities.
Love Reverend guitars! I have a Flatrock and a Charger 290...simply stunning looking, sounding and playing instruments.
that billy corgan model is the first signature model to make me drool in a while.
oh, and nickelback cover band? ...i don't even...
Jestream 390! Have one and love it! Great guitars, wish more stores carried them.
How's the neck feel? How's the neck pup sound?
The weird awkward tension they had between them for a while seems to be gone now.
sexual tension, maybe they was relieved of it...
a video of them relieving their sexual tensions are coming in the next facebook video.
its cuz the captain hates technique and loves feel, he wishes pete was his friend instead of chappers
your profile picture makes me think my screen needs a clean
I like the entire staff. Pete's playing is really nice but he does at times just grab for a lot of notes like Chappers does. They're both guilty of it and so are most other guitarists. It's just something you do early on when playing and then you learn to restrain it.
Now they HAVE to do Sounds Like Billy Corgan on the Andertons Channel
Yeah, I've been bugging them to do one for ages. I don't know if they would use this sig though as it would eat up most of their budget. Also I'm always a little let-down when they just grab a sig instead of trying to find a regular guitar model that will do the job.

If Chappers used a Big Muff to show off the BC it would be perfect.
Rob should review everything by just saying “they are better than the shit I sell !”

Very affordable sleepers that sound, look and play great and include thoughtful design touches. (Courtesy of Joe Naylor & Co.) The Corgan sounds especially great on this demo: clean, stringy and balanced, even with high gain. Impressive.
im starting to really like the 1 pickup thing the more i look at it
+Alex Curtis not if you only use 1 pickup all the time. like me
+Alex Curtis you get to know the guitar better and how to work with the volume and tone control
I've played the Sensei Jr, which has tone, volume and bass contour knobs on it. Despite the fact it's only got one pickup - if you can't do it with that... (Other than high gain/djent music - which you don't want a P90 for).
Lars Marten høk I have two humbuckers but always only use the neckie neck pup? But I like one tone, kick ass I call it!
That Jetstream sounds fantastic. The Sensei line are great guitars, they have great sounding humbuckers as well. Would love to see more of the Reverend line, particularly the Double Agent OG, and the Mantas. More with the Sheriff too please!
I'm eyeballing that Jetstream. Love the idea of 3 P90s. They look amazing too.

do you remember what date was this? because this is the first time I've ever heard of this story
+Fakey Cakez thats kind of stupid.. I mean, you don't have to be a billy corgan fan in order to like the songs
As a long time fan, there are many sides to Billy Corgan. Crybaby is indeed one of them. He's also been known to be a pretentious ego and insecurity driven control freak. He's also been a genuine intelligent guy and a musical genius. He's a man of contradictions. I mean his band could call equal influence from the Cure, Sepultura, Shoegaze, the Scorpions, Rush, Electronica, and Joni Mitchell.

20:59 Robs smile after that innuendo haha,
High Five!
Just the tip
Seen him smile. Like a smiling eyes smile. Doode deff ghey
I played a getstream the other day, was totally blown away. Got to get one. For real. I’ve played for a long time, lots of different guitars. These guitars are fantastic. Well done Andertons and Reverend.

That one tip really made a difference. Thanks, and cheers.
tried one last year and love it, they are excelent build and sound outstanding if you look a unic bluesy sound
Man that 390 sounds absolutely sick with the bass rolled out (of course I'm imagining in a full mix where it would sit, but me likey)
The Corgan pickups can be bought separately. Riff City has them, if you're an American band and help you party it down.
Is The Captain using an overdrive pedal during your "Jam in the key of A" portion or is it all coming from the Victory? Sounds incredible!
also that's the first time I've heard the Billy Corgan model. I'm not a fan of the design, but WOW does it sound great!
dear whoever edits this,
I wish you would only pan the guitars when they are both jamming together. It bugs me when they are playing separate and its off center.

Excellent editing to whoever put those effects and changes together!!! (I think rob and captain are slowly making things more challenging for you!)
Hey Chappers and Captain, keep up the great work guys. I look forward to watching a new video of you guys reviewing new guitars, amps, pedals, etc.
I think the two middle screws holds the neck plate in place when you remove the neck. So it's "just" a 6 bolt neck.
Actually, its a tilt adjustment. Like two built in adjustable shims.
Not sure where you heard that but that is not true. They simply hold the neck plate in place if you remove the neck. I own multiple Reverends and have removed the necks on a few as well. There is no kind of tilt mechanism.
I made a bad assumption I guess. I owned a Buckshot and just always figured that's what they were for. Never had a need to remove the neck or make any adjustments. Thanks for setting me straight!
Yes! Cool to see some shots from the range in the store at the beginning of the video! That's a cool thing to become a theme with all demoes!
Really like them, will check out the prices on the website. Thanks guys another great vid from the team!!
Saw you play last week and your blues playing was awesome mate! Why you aren't up there with Clapton is just beyond me! Cheers mate.
This is the first time in a long time you guys have demoed guitars that seem to actually sound different to me. Normally, it's all a variation of a common theme, but these feel fresh. Does that make sense? I want one.
finally the long awaited review of Reverend BC1, thank you guys. And needless to mention, great great playing as always. CHEERS
the original Reverends made in Detroit were ssome of the best made and stellar sounding guitars ive ever played.
I've always wanted a Reverend. They have a reputation as outstanding
guitars at fair prices. Corgan is a tremendnous vote of confidence for
the brand since the dude is a major guitar expert/geek.
The bolt on necks are only held on with six bolts, the two screws in the middle are there solely to hold the plate to the body if you unbolt the neck.
I really want a new guitar... should I get a Chapman or a Reverend? such a decision.....they both seem AWESOME!!!!
Hey guys why don't you do a test video on cheap and expensive cables (long and pedal connectors) and how much they effect the overall sound of a rig....???? It should be fun!!!
This was a very interesting session with Chappers and the Captain - I am very impressed with Reverend guitars now! Nice job, guys!
I've got a Reverend Flatroc and had a Sensei with Railhammers for a while, they were both amazing. I've played a Pete Anderson Reverend-made Tele that was amazing as well. Never picked up a disappointing Reverend.
Elijah W I played a buckshot with a rattle in the bridge if I was buying a reverend I would definitely spring for one with a Wilkinson
Guys, I'll never look at a 'Buck stop' the same way ever again. I literally had to re-watch Lee's impression at least three times in a row. Bloody brilliant :D
There are 8 screws on the neck plate but only 6 bolt to the neck. The other 2 hold the plate to the body so if you take the neck off, the plate stays put.

So it's 6 that go from the plate, through the body to the neck, and two that just go from plate to body.
That Jetstream 390 that Rob plays around the 11:00 point is amazing! Tremendous diversity of sounds and a very musical guitar in general. Looks like a killer as well - 3 P90's really super cool.
Was glad to see you do something with P90's. I love the P90 tone. Sure, they hum some, but that can be managed, and it's worth it for that tone. Now-a-days a lot of people assume they are 2nd rate, semi-obsolete pickups. No way. They are just different and sound great. Please do more with P90's.
Never had a guitar with P90's until a few weeks ago when I picked up a 14' Gibson Melody Maker & Epi 3 P90 Riviera - awesome fat, warm, gritty, punchy, tone. My new favorite pup!
I Just wanted to reach out & thank you guys for making these videos. The enormous amount of knowledge that you all share with one another & your audience is not only rarely found in one place on youtube, but when it is... it's the most dry and boring droning on earth; I'm not one to sit through that (no matter how much I want to learn). You guys have so much fun together & thoroughly enjoy guitars & all that comes with them in such a way that you don't have to struggle to impart wisdom upon your viewers. Damn this is wordy....
TL:DR
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! LOVE YOU & YOUR VIDEOS. YOU HAVE REIGNITED THE DORMANT GUITARIST INSIDE OF ME. SENDING LOVE FROM ACROSS THE POND!
What do you guys think about the Charvel Pro Mod SD1 HH? I'm thinking of buying one because I want a versatile guitar that's also good for heavy music. How does it compare to a similarly priced Jackson or Ibanez?
Just so everyone is aware it's actually a 6 bolt neck. The two screws in the middle just keep the plate from falling off if you have to change the neck or do some work. I really love my Reverend Double Agent I bought a couple years ago...
Sorry Rob but I bought it over your ML-2... :/
We all dearly miss Rebecca :-( Her rundown with Satchel was EPIC! :D
the reason for the 8 screws in the neck plate.......6 large screws are for the neck, the 2 smaller screws in the middle are to hold the plate on the guitar body when/if you remove the neck. Don't know why they did it.
I picked up a Jetstream 390 just like the one in the vide about 9 months ago. That bass contour makes the guitar super versatile, and it excels with clean chimey tones. I'm not a high distortion player like these guys typically are. It works well with my rather large pedalboard as well. It's become my #1 go to guitar over my Custom Shop '60 Les Paul RI or CS Tele. Amazing value for the money and a real pro level guitar. My soundguy loves it because it mixes so well, I play to about 5000-6000 people a week so that really matters to me.
been waiting 2 years for you guys to do this review. Captain - glad you like that buckshot, thought that would be up your alley
OK. That Sensei junior sounds really nice (actually the 3x p90 does, too) gets kind of a Leslie West tone at times,,,
Hey... (unless you have done it already?) how's about a "Sounds like Leslie West/Mountain without breaking the bank" video?
He had one of my favourite guitar sounds of all time, and i believe he was a one pickup guy, as well.
Any seconders for this????
Tim Beaton Mississippi freaking Queen I know what you mean! Now that was a tone for certain.
Love m Rev's. I think they're one of the best deals out there. If you were at NAMM did you get to meet Tricky Gomez? I heard he stopped by the both for a short visit.
It’s great how the cannabis brownies start to kick in for the Captain around 27:25, then REALLY kick-in at 28:18!
It would be so cool to see Rebecca Dirks doing videos on the Andertons channel!
An album of Chappers & Captain goodness needs to happen!
Beautiful.. Yeah sounds great.. Cool.
But does it djent?
The idea about the bass contour is great. I think they are going for a strat-ier selection of tones especially when you want to do the in-between thing.
I got a chance to play the Unknown Hinson model for about an hour in Las Vegas recently. I was really impressed and could definitely see adding one to my collection.
I just stumbled upon your videos yesterday and subscribed so greeting from the USA. I drifted away from concert going in my late 20's my last concert was Disturbed in the late 90's, so i'm a bit out of touch. Billy played a Stratocaster when I saw them in 88. Also, James played a Gibson LP and D'arcy played a fender P-bass. When did Billy switch to Reverend?
Hey Guys, why don't You do a batch of VIntage wilkinson guitars? so You can definitely demonstrate to the public how Chapman Gtrs are superior in terms of conception and craftmanship to its target market competitors? Thanks
Ever checked out the Billy Corgan strat they made in 2008, Rob?
DO MORE REVEREND PLEASE!!!!! THIS IS GREAT!
That Billy Corgan though. I'll take a dozen. What a tone.
Love single pickup guitars. I own an LTD Screaming Skull with one pickup, one volume knob, it is hands down the best guitar and I would suggest buying one if your looking for a high quality single pickup guitar.
I think the two smaller bolts on the plate are to keep the back plate on while the other six can be taken off.
Just played a Fender CS Caballo Tono telecaster in store. Unbelievable blues-rock machine.
Don't think it's an eight bolt neck. If I remember I think the two smaller ones in the middle are there to hold the plate on when you remove the neck. Corgan guitar has Railhammer pickups in it.
These are my favorite TH-cam vids. Thanks, men.
Great review, guys. Captain - I'm seriously liking your playing lately.
You two sure go Mad as Hatters when Pete is not around :) reminded me of the early years of you vlogin and reviews. Keep it up Chaps.
What cab is the sheriff 44 on top of? Looking at specs the compact 1x12 were too small to have it ontop, so curious what you are using. Thanks.
Regarding the Neck plate screws. The 6 outer bolts attach the neck. The middle 2 keep the neck plate attached to the body.
I think you will find that the collective noun for Reverends is a 'Synod' ;-)
Got the coffee burst Sensei RA FM at 0.42 seconds a quality instrument love it...
The Korina has a bright tone... Well done Lee & Chappers for the demo... Just for the record Rob .The Bass contour control.Gives you the capability to Gjent or sound like
a Telecaster and anything in between... Food for thought dude... The Sensei was named after Joe Naylor's wife who is a 5th Dan Jujitsu Sensei, apparently..
Wonderful review again guys, but you messed up on describing the pickups. The humbuckers (the ones with poles and bars as well as the Billy Corgan signature set) are Railhammers... not made by the guy from Reverend for as far as I know... ;) Railhammer pickups are worth a review just for their design and tonal difference from other brands!
Apologies... after researching I found out the Reverend and Railhammer guy are one and the same... and they do sell all these wonderful pickups separately, even the Corcan Signature... But still, I'd like to see pickup reviews, compare these to some popular Duncan or EMG sets!
Captain taking the piss out of the Buck shot was brilliant! Made the whole video completely worth it!
That Billy Corgan sounds freaking killer.
It seems that Joe Naylor's use of retro style guitar bodies and pickups are appealing. Keeping that in mind, why not introduce a couple of Jazzmaster/ Jaguar type guitars with P-90 pickups and/or covered Humbuckers into the Chapman Guitars lineup? You could name it the ML-New Orleans...or NO
Love the one pick up guitar!! With the tone and bass controls have loads of different sounds!!!
As for the Bolt-on screws. They're actualy 6. The other 2 just hold the neckplate in place in case you have to remove the neck.
Also love that sneek intro of Today at the end, great stuff!
"So Smashing Pumpkins is essentially a Nickelback cover band?" UNSUBSCRIBE
"John Snow gets killed..." DOUBLE UNSUBSCRIBE
I subscribed just so I could unsubscribe. #triggered #safespace
That was the lowest point of the Captain so far.
isn't double unsubscribing just re-subscribing?
Ah you'd think so, but in fact it unsubscribes me and any chance I have of ever resubscribing. Because I'm THAT angry. #leeandertonnicklebackfanboy
Great vid guys, but I have to utter one wish..
When just one of you test the guitars and don't play together.. could you pan the sound to the center?
Having the guitar on just one side really throws me off.. haha.
Thanks for great stuff!
Well....I had already been looking at Reverend's, especially the Buckshot and the Billy Corgan but I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Corgan just for those pickups...they're legit.
Got to get a couple Reverends !!I'm thinking Volcano V and Kingbolt with the Railhammers and Wilkinson tremolo !! Also want the Jetstream with Wilkinson trem and 3 p-90's !!
I know Joe Naylor(The founder of Reverend)'s daughter who recommended i get one when i got the chance. Well after talking to Ken I finally have my hands on this kick ass niche of guitars. It is absolutely gorgeous and plays like nothing I've heard.
Recommend 100% support these local Detroiters!!
@25:22 Top 5 tone I've ever heard on Anderton's YT channel. For some reason, that double hammer on @25:44 just nails it for me as well.
This review had me in stitches!! I'd love a Reverend Jetstream. Definitely gonna get saving!!
