Reverend Charger 290

Description: A Workhorse with Impeccable Style What exactly makes a guitar a workhorse? What qualities do we seek out in the guitars we gig and record with most? Obviously, a workhorse has to sound great, or else it wouldnt get the job in the first place. Dependability is certainly a key componentafter all, if you need to use a tool to get crucial work done, it better be reliable! Versatility is also a key concernyou have to be able to get all the necessary soundsbut that versatility cant come at the expense of simplicity or practicality. So, it should have a tweakable sound that fits well in every musical context with little to no fuss. If that sounds like a lot to ask of just one guitar, it is! Thankfully, our friends at Reverend have risen to the challenge. A Tall Order Fulfilled The Reverend Charger 290 is Reverends attempt at making the ultimate no-frills guitar for the stage and studio. As with most Reverends, the Chargers magic starts with a fantastic combination of pickups and tonewood. Korina is the perfect wood for a workhorse, because it sits almost exactly in the middle of the tonal spectrum. Its warm without being muddy, bright without being harsh, and full without being overpowering. Also, its incredibly responsive, so you can coax a lot of different tones out of it with just your fingers or your pick! The korina bodys natural resonance works well with Reverends 9A5 P-90s, which have plenty of top-end chime, tight lows, and midrange punch. Ultimately, this inspired connection between wood and wire results in a guitar that can cover rough-and-ready rock and roll, twangy country, soulful rhythm and blues, and warm jazz with equal aplomb. Furthermore, you can get all sorts of sounds using Reverends famed bass contour knob in conjunction with the tone knob. Putting both knobs on five, for instance, gives you a great warm-yet-clear jazz tone. Or, you can put the tone on ten when youre in the neck position and roll the bass all the way off if you need to do a quick Hendrix impersonation. If thats not your bag, flip to the bridge position with the tone on 10 and the bass contour at 3 and youll be in chicken pickin heaven. The amount of sounds you can produce with this deceptively-simple guitar is truly staggering, and none of them take more than two twists of a knob to find! Everything else about this guitar is designed to make a working musicians life easy. It has Reverends signature Boneite nut and pin-lock tuners for ridiculously stable tuning, a dual-action truss rod with headstock access for easy maintenance, and a stoptail bridge for easy string changes and intonation. Also, it feels great in your hand! The medium oval neck is quite comfortable (I LOVE the 12 radius!), and the 0.110 wide x 0.050 high frets feel as buttery as a Thanksgiving roll. A Charge of Inspiration The Reverend Charger 290 is the definition of a workhorse. Its versatile, simple, dependable, it sounds great, and its price point is quite accessible. But, to merely dwell on things like pickups and locking tuners would do these instruments a disservice, because their greatest strength is their power to inspire. Theyre incredibly practical, but theyre also dripping in mojo. Its hard not to feel like a rockstar when youre wearing such an iconic-looking guitar, and its hard not to be inspired when you plug it in. Wildwood Guitars is proud to showcase the Reverend Charger 290 for our exceptional customers, and we hope you have as much fun playing them as we do!
