Description

The Reverend Pete Anderson Eastsider S is a versatile electric guitar that seamlessly blends classic design with modern innovation, making it a must-have for any guitarist seeking a unique sound and feel. Born from the creative partnership between Reverend Guitars and legendary musician Pete Anderson, this instrument is a nod to the vintage T-style guitars with an exciting S-style twist. Its chambered korina body delivers resonant warmth akin to mahogany, providing a rich and dynamic tonal palette.

The guitar's design is further enhanced by its roasted maple neck, offering a smooth playing experience with superior stability. The compound radius fingerboard, ranging from 10 to 14 inches, is perfect for both rhythm and lead guitar work, making it a favorite among guitarists who crave flexibility. The Eastsider S features a trio of single-coil pickups—Reverend’s Talnico bridge and Salnico middle and neck pickups—ensuring a classic 1950s vibe with a modern edge that is perfect for everything from country twang to rock riffs.

Adding to its impressive specs is the Wilkinson WVS50 IIK tremolo bridge, which allows for expressive dive-bombs and pitch bends without compromising tuning stability. With the addition of a push-pull switch for versatile pickup combinations and a treble bleed circuit, this guitar is a masterclass in premium electronics. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, the Eastsider S’s superb craftsmanship and attention to detail will inspire your playing and make a statement.

Critic Reviews

Reverend Pete Anderson Eastsider S Guitar Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Reverend Pete Anderson Eastsider S offers an impressive blend of versatility and craftsmanship, capturing the essence of both Stratocaster and Telecaster tones. Its chambered korina body and rosewood fretboard enhance resonance and playability, while the Wilkinson tremolo and pin-lock tuners ensure stable tuning. The guitar excels in delivering a wide range of sounds, from sweet Mark Knopfler tones to rugged Tele twang. However, the finish might feel less luxurious to some, and additional tonal complexity could enhance its appeal. Overall, it's a superb choice for those seeking quality and flexibility at a reasonable price.

Anderson has several signature models with Reverend Guitars called Eastsider.

Guitar.com, 2015

And the I did a Tele-body with them called the Eastsider, which we’ve been selling. And I’ve just been concentrating on being a guitar player, getting my endorsement stuff together, getting my signature guitars together, working on a signature acoustic guitar line, working with a guy to start designing an amplifier. Just stuff like that that I would have been doing if I’d just been doing this all along. And I’m just having the time of my life. (...) And that guitar I play for the majority of the show. I’m playing a little bit of slide, and I’ve got what looks exactly like a Telecaster, but it’s called an Eastsider, made by Reverend. It’s got a multi-radius fingerboard, it’s got some cavities up in the front of the guitar. It’s got a shaved heel, kind of like an Anderson.
