The Reverend Sensei jr

This guitar I just got. It's got Balls of Warmth. Great classic, raw P90 power. Tone knob works well with the Base knob. Nice Axe.

I am always eyeballing the SG/JR type reverends. How's it hold up to a legit Gibson?

I have a few Lester's. I played it about 2 hours last night. So far, it sounds pretty good. I'm chucking the pots and wiring, they are Alpha pots. (I usually replace all the wiring and controls in all my guitars,). Once I bring it to rehearsal next week, I'll let you know. I traded it for the Volcano (the Volcan failed epically at rehearsal). I'll post up next week after practice. I love the bigsby. I installed a bone nut. Nice open ringing chord voicings now. Also did a crown and polish.
