Get ready to throw down with this one – way down. An all-new baritone 

design with a 26-3/4″ scale neck that’s long enough to deliver

thunderous lows, yet short enough to play like a normal guitar. The best

of both worlds! Strategically positioned Railhammer Humcutter pickups

keep the tone tight, and our custom SIT 12-68 gauge string set

(available separately) features a plain 3rd for easy bending. Feeling

the itch for that baritone growl, but don’t want to feel like you’re

playing a bass? Then the Descent W is your ticket.

CUSTOM PICKUPS

We design our own proprietary custom pickups, to achieve the best tonal

match with our instruments. Reverend pickups are also specifically

designed for each position, for balanced volume and tone when

switching.

ROASTED MAPLE NECK

Roasted Maple is heat treated at over 300° F to remove sugars, moisture, and

impurities. This maple is lighter, more stable, and has a beautiful

caramel color. The result is an exceptional maple neck that will require

less seasonal adjustment, and boasts a rich vintage look!

KORINA BODY

Korina (aka White Limba) is a medium-light weight wood, highly prized for

consistency and tonal qualities. Often found in boutique and vintage

instruments, all Reverends feature Korina bodies. A highly resonant

wood, Korina is a key factor to producing our lively, responsive

instruments that are rich in harmonics.

BASS CONTOUR

This passive bass roll-off is great for tightening up the low end, or

re-voicing the pickups. It can make a humbucker sound like a

single-coil, or give a P-90 that classic twang. Variable pickup voicing

at your fingertips!

PIN-LOCK TUNERS

A thumbwheel under the tuner pushes a steel pin up through the post,

locking the string in place for exceptional tuning stability and

super-fast string changes.

INITIALED HEADSTOCK

Every Reverend is hand initialed and serial numbered on the back of the

headstock by one of our highly skilled technicians who sets up,

inspects, and tests every instrument.

WILKINSON WVS50 IIK TREMOLO

Features include saddles that lock to the baseplate, adjustable arm swing

tension, and a push-in/no freeplay arm. Combined with our boneite nut

and pin-lock tuners, it stays in tune even under aggressive whammy

action.

VARI-CLAW TREMOLO CLAW

This innovative claw gives you the option of 3 springs in the middle for a

firm tremolo feel, or 2 springs on the outside for a softer feel. The

offset hook design lets you switch between 3 or 2 springs, with little

or no cumbersome adjustment of the claw needed.

CUSTOM DOME KNOBS

Our proprietary knobs feature a lower profile which is less likely to be

accidentally hit by the player's hand, and the white dot lets you easily

see where your knob rotation is set.

BONEITE NUT

We use "Boneite," a synthetic bone nut, that is more consistent than

natural bone, on all Reverend instruments. It reduces friction, allowing

the strings to slide through the nut slots smoothly, improving tuning

stability.

TRIPLE-TREE STRING TREE

This patent-pending string tree has an extended bar to hold down three

strings at a time with just one tree, eliminating G string buzz in the

nut slot.

DUAL-ACTION TRUSS ROD

Our dual action rod adjusts in both directions, allowing back bow or

forward bow. This assures correct adjustment range is possible

regardless of string tension, extreme climate conditions, or the effects

of long term aging. It’s also located at the headstock for easy access.

SIX-BOLT NECK PLATE

Two extra bolts increase mounting pressure of the neck by fifty percent.

This makes a stronger neck connection, which improves sustain, tuning

stability, and neck alignment.

ANGLED NECK HEEL

All Reverend solidbody guitars in the Bolt-On series feature a low profile,

angled neck heel. This improves comfort and hand access when you’re

reaching for those high notes!

CUSTOM JACK PLATE

Our proprietary jack plate features four mounting screws, instead of two.

The extra screws prevent the plate from tearing out of the body. Made of

steel for durability, the laser etched logo adds an extra touch of

class!

PURE TONE JACK

All Reverends use an upgraded jack by Pure Tone Technologies. A standard

jack has single contacts, but the Pure Tone jack has dual contacts for

improved grip, audio signal and reliability. The most dependable guitar

jack available.

TREBLE BLEED CIRCUIT

All Reverend guitars have a treble bleed circuit, preserving the treble

when you roll back the volume control. When you roll back a standard

volume control, the tone loses treble and becomes dull sounding. Now you

can turn down and still sound great!

10% POTS

We use Alpha control pots with a +-10% rating. While a typical pot is

+-20%, our pots are built to tighter specifications, making them more

consistent. Typically used in expensive boutique guitars, but standard

issue in all Reverends.

10% POLY CAPS

We use caps with a +-10% rating, while a typical cap is +-20%. Our caps

are made to tighter specifications, so they’re more consistent. Made of

polyester, they’re also longer lasting, and less affected by temperature

than cheaper ceramic caps. Typically used in expensive boutique

guitars.
