Reverend Reverend Roundhouse 290

Google it and look at a picture...22 frets, bit like a Les Paul, but with les bling, made in Korea, couple of P90's. Simple 3 way pick-up selector. However, it has a 'bass contour control which makes the guitar more like a traditional single coil...works much better than a coil tap in my opinion. Stop tail, Wilkinson (Buy yourself some thin nose pliers) locking tuners

This guitar is perfect for anybody who wants versatility in a simple package. It's perfect for those flutey Gilmour moments on the front pickup, but can also go to hard rock AC/DC style on the rear. The volume control doesn't lose tone, so it 's easy to control without too much tap dancing. The sound from the guitar unplugged is open and rich and isn't disappointing when you plug in. It can twang, but maybe it's not quite jangly enough for the country or Rockabilly purists, but I reckon it's close enough for most of us. As for Metal it's probably not pointy enough.

The guitars are all set up by the same bloke somewhere in America. He's a bit good at his job. Perfect action for me. Came with a set of 10's and I could do the two tone bends from 'another brick in the wall' without too much pain. Everything about this guitar is class.

As I said this is a timeless classic style of guitar. It's built beautifully and it will do what it was designed for for many years to come

I've been on their forum for the last year and the boss Mr Naylor answers queries. They'll go out of their way to help with genuine problems.

This is the best guitar in my collection. I don't have anything too fancy. The nearest in quality is an old Yamaha SE700he bought 25 years ago. That guitar is more fendery, while the Reverend is obviously leaning to a Gibson style. I tried loads of Reverends in the shop and they were all top quality, but this one suited me most.

I'm now going to learn 'Nous somme du Solleil from 'Topographic Oceans' by Yes. Steve Howe used a Les Paul Jnr on that and it's one of my favourite guitar sounds

Made in Korea; purchased 8/07
Mahogany neck/body
Flat top
Cream colored/black back/neck
2 Reverend P-90's
3 Way Selector, hum cancelling middle position
Tone/Volume/Bass Contour Knobs
Wilkinson "locking" tuners

The guitar is very nice, particularly for a Korean made guitar. The Wilkinson tuners work fine, but I did not find them easy to use at all, particularly removing the strings, so I installed Grover locking tuners on it. Perfect now. Low Action.

For a mid priced guitar, this is a steal.

I play blues, blues/rock, and straigh ahead rock.

The sound of this guitar rivals anything I have played. The pups are P-90's, and these babies have balls and bite like you wouldn't believe. The Bass Contour control is amazing. It really delivers anything from twang to humbucker. But even in full on Bass Contour mode, there is still that extra bite you want if you buy a P-90 guitar, with the meat of a humbucker. The hum cancelling middle position works perfect; dead silence. I am investing in a noise gate as I do get a little feedback when I crank my Fender Blues Deluxe here and there in bridge and neck position. But, hey, they are P-90's...they are supposed to hum.

Rolling down the volume cleans up the sound but doesn't lose any character. Very usable tone control. I can't put it down most of the time.

Not a death metal guitar, but even hard rock is within the realm of this beauty.

Only small gripe is a small paint masking error on the low E of the neck joint; the paint line is not precisely in line with the joint. Again, VERY minor issue overall, but since some people on here seem to expect $500 guitars to match USA PRS's, etc., thought I would mention it. I have seen much bigger paint flubs with Gibsons, so it's barely worth mentioning.

Setup was great. Action was great. Hardware is solid. The tuners worked fine, just don't like the design of them; not a quality control issue.

It's not wise to gig without a backup, but this is very well made, sounds great, and appears able to take a beating.

Reverend is a great company. I, unlike a lot of people on here, have not dealt with them one on one. I just know they make a great guitar, and the shop I bought it from said that Joe Naylor answers the phone a lot of the time when you call. Find another maker that does that. I would not hesitate to contact them, and I feel very confident they would make things right if anything went wrong.

I have been playing for 20+ years (I am 33, started when I was 6 or so).

Incredible guitar at a great price. I did a LOT of searching before deciding on this guitar. Tried about everything you could think of (Gibson LP's, Epi LP's, PRS SE's, you name it...), and this was easily the winner on a price/performance scale. Not even anything else close. Saving up for my next Reverend (Volcano) as we speak.
