Reverend Guitars

What's the general consensus on Reverend Guitars? Seem very good for the money.

They're very good for the money.

They are good, my favourite being the PA-1. 

Reverends can vary vary a lot in weight, and feel.  For best results, play lots - then buy the one that lights your fire. 
I played all of the Reverends on display at Andertons, only one felt special.

I used to have a Warhawk, and bitterly regret selling it.

My 2 main guitars are Revs - a Manta Ray and a Club King RT. They are really, really good. However, the poor exchange rate has hit them hard value wise. Both of mine were under £400 when I got them - I'd have more if it hadn't been for the price hike.

When I got my Warhawk, it seemed no one had heard of them so got it for an absolute steal of £150. sold it for well over twice that

I got my Manta Ray from Rose Lane Music back when they took over the dealership from Dolphin - was about £300 new! I would never sell it now and have since re-finished it and added a Les Trem. The Club King was off ebay second hand for about £350 - as new condition. Great guitars.

I have an RG2 that now has a sustainiac fitted. I like it as a stunt guitar. They do lack a certain character, but they are very well built and finished. Mine has jumbo frets and is very easy to play. I did however return a Spacehawk due to some finish issues.

They are getting expensive - that was happening pre-Brexit and I think the addition of certain bigger dealers has exacerbated that. I noticed that Vintage and Modern in Thame seem to have dropped them, after carrying them since the beginning. Thats a shame.

I fancied the new Wattplower bass but at over a grand it's no longer a 'cheap' guitar, in fact it's well into USA pricing. On top of that the resale is still awful.

Got a Jetstream 360 and a Double Agent and love them both. The bass contour control makes them hugely versatile

The clubking rt I had was ace.

Interesting you guys like them so much. 

I was really interested in them a while back (10 years, maybe) and seem to recall the consensus was that they looked cool but felt and sounded fairly uninspiring. 

I really need to try some but there being bugger all stockists makes that hard.

Worth seeking out an earlier USA model too, so I hear.

Always wanted to try one.
