Mike Gug Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Does anyone have any experience with this family of guitars? Specifically the Workhorse Series Slingshot with the P-90's? I heard it at a concert, and it was an awesome sound. Good workmanship? I'm going to check Harmony-Central tomorrow.

Mike Gug Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 Thanks for the info! How is the neck? Thick, thin? Medium? C-shaped? Not a lot of info when I did a "search" for Reverend here. Anyone else? Mikegug www.facebook.com/theresistancemusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I dig the retro look. Haven't played one. There's a store here in KC that sells 'em I've been meaning to get to. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archibald3 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 The neck is fairly thin-my other guitar is an sg so it has quite a different feel.It was set up pretty good right off the rack-with a graphite nut and a capacitor on the volume[so when you turn it down it doesn`t get muddy].Stays in tune good,i`ve gigged with it alot with no second guitar as its pretty sturdy and reliable.If you know p90`s you`ll have an idea of the sound,crisp ,sparkly.The pickup magnets are reversed as well so selecting both[toggle middle position] cancells any hum.Alot of nice little touches with the guitarist in mind-for the price.

alguit Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Mike, I've got a Slingshot Custom-three P-90's, a Bigsby, and wiring options to get really funky out-of-phase tones as well as the bridge and neck pickups on together. The guitar is very well made, incredibly lightweight and comfortable, and, next to my Ernie Ball/Music Man Steve Morse guitar, the most versativle tone machine I own. As stated above, the pickups sound as expected-Reverend did a great job on these. It's funny, sometimes I don't take it to gigs because I think, "I've got these Custom Shop Strats and a great Les Paul, but when I do gig with it I'm consistently rewarded with terrific tone and playability. And everyone who picks up the guitar so far loves it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald3 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Yeah its funny i had a guy from another band in my rehearsal space ask if he could try it out and low and behold he bought one a week later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I'm sorely tempted by the Slingshot Custom, myself; though I think I'll hold out and put together a cool triple-soapbar guitar with a Warmoth neck and bod'. Three P-90 style "soapbars", with the option of running all three in parallel... mmmnn... !! >...drool-drool...< If I didn't want to "build" one, I'd probably be planning on a Slingshot Custom, for sure! It'd just be a matter of deciding between the "Ultimate Bigsby" and the cool new Hipshot ball-bearing "fulcrum"-style whammy!

picker Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I had an Avenger GT, and it was the best Strat style guitar I ever owned. Mine didn't have the whammy bar, and eventually I added an FAAS piezo bridge pickup system. The neck was like an early Fender, C-shaped and beefy feeling, but not huge. That guitar cooked. I would still have it, but financial needs made it necessary to sell something and I couldn't bear to part with my Hamer. It was tough to let it go. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I have a strat style Reverend and its nice. My old rhythm guitar player has a Rev with P-90s that cooks! Unfortunately, my Rev hasnt had much play since I bought an SG. I guess Im more of a humbucker kind of guy... Still, the Rev is very easy to play and lightweight. I like it better than any of the US strats that Ive owned, FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
