Welcome Double! I am Reverend fan too. I don't have one right now, but I will get one eventually. I also gig regularly with a good ole Reverend Hellhound tube amp.
The Club King 290 is probably the one I will get.
I am new here at The Fret and I thought I would show you what I use REVERENDS (bolt-ons). I was a long time Fender Man (over 30 years) but Reverend converted me after I bought my first a Club King HB model (no longer made) and since then it has been Reverends only. I am now the proud owner of a Club King HB, Gil Parris Model and a Buckshot now with these three models I can cover any type of music with monster tone. If you are looking for something different with great workmanship and tone at a unreal real price I urge you to try one out for yourself you will not be disappointed.

I would love to find a Reverend Amp, I have never heard one but from what I have read they are great. The Guitars are fantanstic.Originally Posted by Robert

I love my Reverend Daredevil HB. Just a killer guitar, and the fact that the company is so cool and engaged is icing on the cake. Joe Naylor said in an interview that his instruments are the "muscle cars of the guitar world."

I own a few... All USA Models though...
Guitars and Basses
I've often drooled over the CK 290 and the Manta Ray 290
Man those look sweet Revfan!!
I live the swirly one for looks, but I am not really found of HSS guitars.
The 3 lipstick pup one certainly looks like it has mojo.
Which is your favorite?
I pick a moon dog.
I picked up a Jetstream 390 a couple of months back and love it. As you say, great workmanship, tone & playability at a great price. Super value guitars! Here's mine:

Vood, what does that guitar sound like? Is it describable? More like Tele, Strat or LP tone?

I've really got to track down a Reverend dealer and try out a Volcano and/or a Ron Asheton signature.

Sounds like a cross between a P90 LP and a Strat. Definitely has that characteristic P90 snarl & bite, but the 5-way selector on the 3 pickups gives it the Strat-iness. You get a noticeable quack at positions 2 and 4 and a stronger single coil character than you hear in a LP or an SG with P90s. At the same time, it's a much beefier tone than a Strat and the bass contour control lets you ladle on the fat if you want even more. You have to be careful with that when using the middle and neck pickups, though, because you can overdo it and muddy up the tone. Overall, a very versatile instrument with a boatload of available tones....Originally Posted by Robert

Man Vood,
I didn't know that you had a Jetstream 390.
I guess that I was out of the loop for longer than I thought.
Congrats!
I pick a moon dog.
I had a Reverend Jetstream HB but traded it away for a Hwy 1 Strat. I wish I still had it.
Trying to keep the Thread alive...
Any other Reverend Love out there?
Sweet collection, Rev.
Marnold, I forget where you're located, (Michigan?) If you're around metro Detroit, Joe's Music in Eastpointe is a Rev dealer, and I went in one day to test a few. At the time, the Manta Ray was my fav. But they have since released many other new models I'd like to check out.

Former Michigander from Bay City. Now living north of Green Bay, WI. I know that there's a place in Iron Mountain and one more towards the Fox Valley that sells Reverends. I'm just afraid I'd REALLY want a Volcano then.Originally Posted by Radioboy950

Cool... I'm interested in a Buck Shot. Are these guitars made in Korea or Indonesia?
Korean built
Then they are set up once in Michigan.
I did not have to do anything to mine except strings and I can be the picky one to say the least, lol....
