NEW INVENTORY: REVEREND ELECTRIC GUITARS
Four New Retro Style Electrics
Date posted: 05/02/12
Sensei RA - Based on Reverend's popular Sensei double cutaway series, the RA version is designed for faster play, tighter tone and more aggressive attack. The main innovation is the Railhammer Chisel pickups - the Sensei RA is the world's first production guitar to use Railhammer pickups. Railhammers tighten the low frequencies and fatten the hights by combining rails and poles across the strings. The body is solid korina. The neck is set - glued-on, one-piece korina with a dual-action truss rod. The controls include custom volume & tone, Reverend's wonderful Bass Contour, and a 3 way position selector. Ours is red. <...more>
