This Is Religion There's No Doubt, I'm One Of The Devout

2014 is the year I discovered Reverend guitars.  It started with the Jetstream HB (front) from the Guitar Center used inventory.  The craftsmanship is up with with the best custom shop Fender but the shape is also as unique as it gets.  The korina body of the Jetstream resonates like nothing I have.  I woke up at 3am one morning, started playing the Jetstream, unplugged, and the solidbody wood sings like a hollowbody 335 unplugged.  Of course, these things never end with just one.  About a month later, I saw a used Warhawk 290 (in case, at the back) at the Sam Ash store in Ontario Mills.  The design of the Warhawk has a raised center through the bridge similar to a Firebird.  Think increased sustain.  But the real appeal of the Warhawk is in these two P90-type pickups.  A little hotter on the bridge and it goes very well with a modern amp like a Bogner or a Blackstar.  The 3rd Reverend is an actual semi-hollow, the Manta Ray 290.  I file this under the category of grunge machine, complete with feedback when playing with drums and bass.  I had played these Reverends exclusively for my standard tuning and dropped D songs to the point where my Les Paul and Midtown (in cases on the right) are feeling somewhat neglected.
