Reverend Warhawk HB. In blue, just like this one.
http://www.reverendguitars.com/reverend/images/guitars/stage_king_series/warhawk/warhawk_blu.jpg
I went a couple of days ago to the Reverend website, on a whim. I hadn't seen these babies! And the price! Just $469. So I opsted about this at Cyberjammin.com and it happens that a forumite who is a partner in a music store has these guitars, and by chance he had on stock exactly the one I wanted.
Then another forumite who works near that store offered to go there and give it a test run. He played it through five different amps (this guy has boutique stuff, gigs regularly, and knows his stuff). His words?
Hey Kerc, I just played your Warhawk...Buy it...very sweet classic humbucker tones with a Fendery neck. Low action, pretty good setup and very playable. I played it through a Rivera Chubster 40, Quiana Studio, Fandango 55 and handbuilt 18 watt Marshall clone...all classic sounding amps. I'd say you'll be happy if you buy it based on your description. I'm at the store now posting this...
:D
So now I arranged with the store guy to leave my Warhawk alone 'til I get my Christmas bonus next week.
I'm stoked! :DR Here are the specs of this nice guitar:
