Reverend Charger 290 Bigsby Army Green with Roasted Maple neck

The solid korina body of this instrument delivers plenty of tonal zing. Using korina is part of the Reverend secret. Bolted on to the body of the Reverend Charger 290 Bigsby is a Roasted Maple neck and fretboard with a twelve inch radius. The medium oval profile is very comfortable for many. The medium jumbo frets help reduce fatigue over long playing periods. Roasted Maple is normally used on custom shop and high-end boutique built guitars. Reverend have brought this material to a price bracket never seen before. The Roasted Maple that Reverend have used has been kiln dried to remove most of the moisture. This results in a neck resistant to temperature and humidity. The advantages also include stability and increased resonance.

Two Alnico 5 P90 Pickups with Bass Contour.

The P90 pickups in this guitar are quite simply outstanding. Designed by Reverend's Joe Naylor, they are a good level up from anything you would usually find on an instrument at this price. The Reverend Charger 290 Bigsby is a very versatile axe, thanks to Reverend’s unique bass contour control and the Bigsby B50 vibrato. With Bass Contour, the pickups can be voiced for either fat P90 tone or twangy Tele tone, or anything inbetween. The classic Bigsby has been upgraded with Reverend’s Soft Touch spring, resulting in vastly improved feel, especially when combined with the Reverend roller bridge. Other great hardware includes Reverend’s pinlock tuners which make string-changes a cinch!
