Congrats. Did you just walk in and buy it or was it one you had been wanting?

Actually I ordered it off the Interwebs. I wanted a gold top with P90s. Now I have one. I love this guitar. I have been looking at Reverends for years. Yes I am a Reverend, but that had little to do with it. When I lived in Wisconsin I managed to visit a store that was a Reverend dealer. I mainly tried the Volcano which is their flying V style. The Warhawk itself was not on my radar. I had been looking at a Ron Ashton Jetstream 390. Something tells me that I shouldn't like that orange finish, but I do. The Warhawk is similar but it is a set neck instead of a bolt on.
I wanted big frets, locking tuners, a relatively flat fretboard, gold top, P90s. This one has it all for me.I'm not exaggerating when I say that this one is light years ahead of the Jackson. And I say that as a Jackson fan! A guitar store out of Texas had it. I saw their listing on Reverb which was $100 below retail. I contacted them and bought directly. Despite traveling the height of the country it arrived in excellent condition.
My only nitpicks are that there are a couple of minor finish flaws, one on the back of the neck and one on the back of the body. A little bit of something is caught under the clear coat. It affects precisely nothing. The shielding keeps it whisper quiet unless I'm using a bunch of gain. Then it sounds disobedient as P90s should. Now I'm confused. If there's a fire I need two extra arms to save my guitars!
