alguit Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Yesterday my Reverend Slingshot Custom arrived by UPS, strangely undamaged, and I used it three hours later at a church gig. I have taken to this guitar more quickly than just about any I've owned. Three P-90 pickups, a Bigsby-licensed vibrato, a phase mini toggle and a "studio" mini toggle, all of which add up to over a dozen distinct tones... Are there any other Reverend users here? What do you think of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funk Jazz Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 i'll vouch for the hellhound in a big way. i've played all kinds of gigs on it, and it always sounds great. i stuck a mojotone speaker in it though, the stock was lame. glad you dig the guitar, i've been wanting one for a while now...

BiC Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Nice looking guitar! The body sort of looks like the Fender Toronado.

Dylan Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I have what I believe to be a late 90s Reverend Avenger (Strat style guitar) and I dig it. Good strat sound, light weight, and easy to play. I bought it off e-bay for cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I've been wanting to try out a Reverend sometime, and I think that the Sligshot Custom would be the one I'd go with! Three P-90's must sound like dawgs in Heaven, alguit! Hey, I'm dead serious, tell me if we're at least in the same (or a neighboring) state, I'd love to check that bad moto scooter out someday! I've toyed with the idea of adding a third, middle P-90 to my Les Paul. I probably will someday, if I'm confident that I can handle the finish touch-up post-surgery. And, once I'm settled on a wiring solution that will give me all of the parallel combinations and each individual pickup, while leaving the guitar looking stock.

alguit Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hey, BiC, my Slingshot Custom, with the options I listed, and the really cool two-tone teardrop case, came to just around $1000.00, and there was no shipping charge. I fired it up today for a while into my Bad Cat Hot Cat. Those p-90's just are smokin'! I finally understand all those folks who play Les Paul Jr.s and SG Specials and the lot. Dances with Werewolves, I live in New Jersey, not too far from the New York border. Maybe we can set up a time and place to meet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caevan O’Shite Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 And a Bad Cat Hot Cat! Fat, fat, FATT!! It'll have to be in the undefined future, alas. I live upstate, and currently/indefinitely am carless and laid-off (again). At least I've still got the guits that I bought when I was more in the money! Yeah, I love, love, love soap-bars. I'm torn between real sparkly vintage-sounding units like original '52 Les Pauls have (an older friend near me has one that he bought brand new!) and newer, fatter sounding ones. Perhaps some sort of custom Seymour Duncan tapped Antiquities would yield the best of both...

alguit Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 Dances, I've got Antiquity humbuckers in my Heritage HC150, and even untapped they give some of that sound and feel. They're very low output compared to modern buckers, and sound more, to my ears, like hot P90's. Whenever you're "carred"-the made-up opposite of "carless"-just let me know. Or maybe in between semesters I could ride up your way. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
