My Gear 5

I became aware of Reverend guitars a few years back and when this one popped up "blemished" (imperceptible flaw...) on Reverb at a great price, I jumped on it. I couldn't be more impressed with this guitar. The reverse headstock felt awkward at first but I'm completely used to it now, and arguably it looks cool. The whole thing looks stunning: red metal flake top and a beautiful violin brown back. The Railhammer pickups are absolute beasts for heavier tones but are also perfectly capable of great cleans. The roasted maple neck and fretboard are the most comfortable and playable of any guitar I own, including Strats, Les Pauls, etc. The Wilkinson trem is routed out for up-pull and is extremely smooth, musical, and stable. And overall, let's face it: this guitar is different, and different is good. After gigs, I've had career guitar players come up to ask me about it. I doubt anyone's doing that if you're playing a Strat...
PROS: super-nice cleans; added character with FAT switch; BURN channel overall CONS: could use a deeper, more pronounced reverb
Super-gnarly fuzz with the ability to switch between two modes (octave, octave) on the fly with a clever momentary/latching switch.
