sweet looking love the color!!!!
Bought this sight unseen (besides website info and a couple demo vids).
The Reeves Gabrels Signature Series model. I knew I would like it, and it did not disappoint.
Cool transparent turquoise finish done exclusively for Wildwood Guitars. It really looks nice in person.
Reverend HB in the bridge, and a Dimarzio Fast Track1 in the neck. This pickup combo, combined with the Bass Contour control, and the tone push-pull phase switch gives a variety of tones.
Wilkinson Trem and locking tuners are nice features too.
The neck feels substantial, but not too chunky. It's thicker and wider than the narrow modern "c" shaped necks on many guitars today.
Reverend is making some nice stuff.
It's going out with me for a gig Saturday night.

Looks sweet! I have been eyeing the double agent 3 with a bucker and a p-90 in the neck. I bet that one is also a sweet guitar,

Veeeeery nice! The Reeves model is one of their best. A great gigging guitar with many tone options.
I love Reverend necks. They are the high bar other guitars have to measure up to. I'd love to have a few more Reverends.

That's a cool guitar! Congratulations! Never played a Reverend, but I give them kudo's for designing truly original guitars that are players, not just goofy departures from the norm.
Look forward to a gig report!

Oobadooba! I really like that. First guitar I've seen with a sensible switch instead of the usual Tele switch. Everything specs out really nice on that ax. Congrats.

SWEET!! Reverends are great guitars, reasonably priced, and don't look like everything else!

Plain and simple that is one hot axe. Enjoy Congrats!!!
Performed beautifully in a gig setting. The Fast Track1 pickup really is cool in the neck. The output sits somewhere between a single coil and a humbucker. Warm, rounded tones, without the mud that sometimes comes with a double coil neck pickup. The Reverend-wound HB rocks! It's slightly hotter than a vintage style bucker, for a little extra sizzle BUT without buzzy shrillness. I do not care for modern, high-output pickups. So, this pickup seems to work well for me.
Most importantly, the guitar stays in tune...haha!!! Use that trem...no worries.

Yep, it is configured perfectly for gigging, covering several type of guitars.
We know if a Reverend fanatic over in Mark Wein's forum that will never sell his Reeves.
I have a Reeves Gabrels Version 1.5(*) in black flame...added a (*) Railhammer Hyper Vintage in place of the HB in the bridge and this thing really rocks. The Railhammer has a little more low end and growl than the standard Rev HB but cleans up real nice with a roll back on the Volume or Bass Contour pot. It'll do anything from Rockin Country to Almost Death Metal and sounds awesome with my Fender Supersonic 22, both clean and dirty channels. I think the Reeves is one of the most versatile rock guitars I've ever played and with the Fast Track, the tonal options are tremendous. Bought my Reeves sight unseen but got a nice push from a couple of You-tube videos from Bobby DiVito. Love the flame Green/Turquoise - wish mine had the trem tho...Enjoy that baby!!!
