Here for sale we have a Reverend Contender RB Electric Guitar in Outfield Ivy finish. Made in Korea in 2021, this guitar consists of a Korina body, a 3-piece Korina neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a Bigsby B50 tailpiece, Reverend Pink-Lock tuners, and block inlays. A pair of Reverend Retroblast humbucking pickups are installed, and are wired to a 3-way blade switch, master volume, master tone and bass contour control.
The 3-piece Korina neck plays very well, with the 'Medium Oval' profile providing comfortable playability in all registers, whilst the Gloss finish to the rear ensures that transitions up and down the neck feel smooth and controlled. A smooth Rosewood fingerboard adorned with 22 medium jumbo frets serve only to enhance the already fantastic playing experience. The 12" radius provides a comprehensive playing surface that enables both easy chordal fretting yet practicality for fast lead lines.
The pair of Reverend Retroblast humbucking pickups installed in the Contender deliver thick and full bodied tones, well suited to rock and blues playing. The neck position is round and smooth, with a pleasing grind when driving the amp which makes your lead and solo sounds cut through the mix. The bridge position is of course brighter, delivering a searing output which saturates into a beautiful distortion for rock rhythm parts and riffs. The middle position is nicely balanced and works very nicely for clean tones. The addition of a bass contour control allows you to tighten up the low end or re-voice the pickups for a varied range of tones.
