A fine example of Reverend's constant drive for innovation, the Airsonic W Periwinkle Burst blends the sustain of a solid body with the rich tone of a semi-acoustic. The Airsonic W tremolo model features a thick, solid korina center ridge, combined with ultra-thin wings with through-body f-holes, to produce that elusive combination of both solid body and semi acoustic qualities. Now available from Merchant City Music, online and in our Glasgow store. We pride ourselves in our peerless customer service, and ship fast to the UK and Europe.
Reverend Airsonic W Periwinkle Burst
Building on the Airsonic's combination of the best characteristics of both solid body electrics and semis, the Airsonic W comes fitted with a Railhammer Nuevo 90 pickup in the neck, and Heavy 90 in the bridge (previously called the Huevos 90). These pickups are as innovative as the guitar itself, providing the tone of P90's without the hum. Poles over the treble strings and rails of the bass strings provide exactly the right response for each frequency range.
A quality Wilkinson tremolo allows the strings to be individually intonated and locked down to make the trem, effectively, one solid mass, resulting in enhanced sustain, punch and mid range focus. Reverend pin lock tuners lock the tuning down at the other end.
Reverend's roasted maple necks are a joy to feel and play, and the one on the Airsonic W is no exception! Roasted maple is literally roasted, which removes excess moisture from the wood, resulting in a superb dark colouration, silky smooth feel, and enhanced stability.
