Reverend Club King RT Natural, Roasted Maple Neck

The Reverend Club King platform delivers the acoustic overtones of a full size semi-hollow, but with extra clarity and spank courtesy of the 25.5" scale roasted Maple neck. The body is made from a solid slab of Korina wood which is routed from the top and then capped with a solid Spruce top. Excellent sustain and attack are coupled with substantial resonance, for a uniquely big and responsive tone.

The Reverend Club King RT now features a Roasted Maple neck!

The Reverend Club King RT Bigsby Natural now has a Roasted Maple neck and fingerboard. This is a real stand out feature. Roasted Maple is normally found on custom shop and high-end boutique guitars. Reverend have brought this material to a price bracket never seen before. This is the smoothest, silkiest neck you will ever feel. Trust us, these are the best necks this side of £3000! The Roasted Maple that Reverend have used has been kiln dried to remove most of the moisture. This results in a neck that is resistant to temperature and humidity. The advantages also include stability, increased resonance and lighter weight. The process also gives the Maple a beautiful caramel colour and makes the grain of the wood really pop.

Upgraded hardware
Throughout 2017 and in to 2018 Reverend have continually upgraded the entire line of instruments. These changes include a new Boneite nut, which reduces friction and has a resonant response similar to that of bone. A new 3 abreast string tree, Etched Reverend logo on the 6 bolt neck plate, new improved contact jack socket and etched jack plate, upgraded pots and electronics, and new lower profile controls.

Bigsby, Revtron pickups, Locking Tuners and a Bass Contour Control
The Reverend Club King RT comes fitted with a classic Bigsby B50 tremolo bridge. Reverend have cleverly used a custom soft touch spring to help with feel and tuning stability. The fitted locking tuners and roller bridge also help keep things stable. The Club King RT features two great sounding Revtron pickups. This type of pickup is well known for rockabilly tones, but we wound Revtrons slightly hotter than the originals for more sustain, so it’s also a great blues and rock guitar.  The Bass Contour control completely revoices the pickups by rolling off some bass frequencies.

The Reverend Club King RT with Bigsby in Natural is a lot of guitar at a very reasonable price. Great playability and tone with some unique looks really make it stand out.
