Reverend Jetstream HB in Midnight Black

The Reverend Jetstream HB Midnight Black looks the business. It's 25.5" scale length provides great clarity to this twin humbucker equipped electric guitar. Reverend use their own alnico 5 magnet HA5 humbuckers in the Jetstream HB. The bridge pickup is recognisably a classic humbucker, but wound slightly hotter for extra drive and punch. The neck pickup offers warm but open tone with slightly relaxed mids. Both have excellent clarity. The bass contour control really transforms the sound of the Reverend Jetstream HB. Rolled right back it re-voices the pickups to sound like single coils. So with the Jetstream HB you get a trem equipped twin humbucker guitar with more than meets the eye.

Reverend Jetstream HB with Roasted Maple neck

The super cool contoured offset body of the Reverend Jetstream HB is made from solid Korina. This wood offers many of the same properties as Mahogany but with more consistency and lighter weight. Solid Korina resonates well and makes for a real lively and responsive instrument. The Roasted Maple neck 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. 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.

Top Shelf hardware

Reverend’s hardware quality is top notch, no matter the model you’re looking at. The Jetstream HB features their Boneite nut, which reduces friction and has a resonant response similar to that of bone. A 3 abreast string tree, 6 bolt neck plate, Pure Tone contact jack socket, and upgraded pots and capacitors all result in a stage ready, reliable instrument.

The bridge on the Reverend Jetstream HB is a Wilkinson WVS50 IIK tremolo. This trem offers superb tuning stability especially when combined with the Reverend locking tuners and Boneite nut. You can really go wild with the trem and know that your next chord will still be in tune! The trem now features another new Joe Naylor invention, the Vari-Claw. The Vari-Claw allows you to easily switch between 3 springs in the middle hooks of the claw for a firm feel, or 2 springs on the outside recessed hooks of the claw for a soft feel, with little or no adjustment to the claw itself.

The Reverend Jetstream HB in Midnight Black with Roasted Maple neck is a real favourite with us in our Glasgow shop. No wonder these guitars get such consistently great reviews. You're getting boutique quality without the price tag!
