The Reverend Club King 290 has a Roasted Maple neck

The Reverend Club King 290 Bigsby Deep Sea Blue has a Roasted Maple neck. This is a real stand out feature. Roasted Maple is normally found on custom shop and high-end boutique guitars. Reverend have brought this material to a price bracket never seen before. This is the smoothest, silkiest neck you will ever feel. Trust us, these are the best necks this side of £3000! The Roasted Maple that Reverend have used has been kiln dried to remove most of the moisture. This results in a neck that is resistant to temperature and humidity. The advantages also include stability, increased resonance and lighter weight. The process also gives the Maple a beautiful caramel colour and makes the grain of the wood really pop.

Upgraded hardware

Reverend employs a programme of continuous improvement across its entire range of instruments, from which this Club King 290 has benefitted. These changes include a new Boneite nut, which reduces friction and has a resonant response similar to that of bone. Other upgrades include: a new 3 abreast string tree, etched Reverend logo on the 6 bolt neck plate, new improved contact jack socket and etched jack plate, upgraded pots and electronics, and new lower profile controls.

Bigsby, Alnico P90 pickups, Locking Tuners and a Bass Contour Control

The Reverend Club King 290 comes fitted with a classic Bigsby B50 tremolo bridge. Reverend have cleverly used a custom spring to help with feel and tuning stability. This unique Reverend spring is now one of our best selling aftermarket upgrades for owners of other Bigsby equipped guitars! The fitted locking tuners and roller bridge also help keep things stable. The Club King features two great sounding P90 pickups. These new 9A5 Alnico P90's are warmer with a more vintage tone. The Bass Contour control completely revoices the pickups by rolling off some bass frequencies.

The Reverend Club King 290 with Bigsby in Deep Sea Blue is a lot of guitar at a very reasonable price. Great playability and tone with some unique looks really make it stand out.
