Reverend Greg Koch Signature Gristle ST in Avocado Burst with Roasted Maple Neck

The Reverend Greg Koch Signature Gristle ST starts with a slightly oversized S-Style body - requested due to Greg’s larger frame - with raised centre block, for increased sustain. The solid Korina body is highly resonant and musical, while a chamber under the pickguard adds punch. As with all Reverend bolt-on neck guitars, the neck is crafted from Roasted Maple with a silky smooth satin finish. Roasted Maple adds extra stability and resistance to moisture changes in the guitar’s environment.

The Reverend Greg Koch Signature Gristle ST in Avocado Burst is fitted with Fishman Greg Koch Gristle-Tone Signature pickups. These pickups are hum-free, and have been tuned for extra clarity and treble shimmer. Greg Koch has spec’d the Gristle ST with trick switching, with the Middle Knob allowing you to dial the bridge pickup in when in the neck position. A boost switch on the tone control allows an immediate gear switch when you need it. The Fishman Fluence pickup system has an integral rechargeable battery, charged via an inbuilt USB charge port - no fumbling with batteries here!

Reverend’s outstanding fret finishing and 12” radius fretboard facilitate effortless bend execution, while the Wilkinson VS100N trem system includes saddles that lock to the baseplate, adjustable arm swing tension, and a push-in/no freeplay arm. It stays in tune even under aggressive whammy action. Reverend’s Boneite nut provides the perfect combination of bone-like tone transfer and friction-free tuning adjustments, the latter executed via Reverend’s own locking tuning machines.

Reverend’s components are top-notch, and more than skin deep. Everything about the Reverend Greg Koch Signature Gristle ST is designed to make it a solid performance instrument, worthy of Koch’s own demanding performance schedule.

If you’re looking for the ultimate Stratocaster, the Reverend Greg Koch Signature Gristle ST should be at the top of your list!
