THE ROUNDHOUSE IN TURQUOISE FLAME MAPLE - REVEREND’S NEW CARVED TOP SET NECK ELECTRIC GUITAR WITH SINGLE CUTAWAY

With their intoxicating mix of phenomenal quality, outstanding playability, standout looks and world class tone, Reverend guitars are winning over a rapidly growing number of guitarists. True to this mould, the new Roundhouse model is designed to appeal to the guitarist looking for a new take on the classic carved top, single cut electric guitar.

As with other solid body set neck guitars in Reverend’s line up, the Roundhouse body is carved from Korina - an acoustically resonant, yet lightweight tone wood. This is topped by a carved flamed maple top - a first for Reverend. The 24 3/4” scale set neck is constructed from three pieces of Korina. Guitars of this type are renowned for being heavy, but not this one! Korina is both outstanding acoustically, and much lighter than mahogany: the best of both worlds! This makes the Roundhouse a great working instrument, perfect for hours on stage or in the studio.

Reverend have equipped the Roundhouse with two of their classic-style HA5 humbucker pickups. The bridge pickup is wound slightly hotter than vintage for extra drive and punch. It offers warm but open tone. The neck pickup is, again, warm and open, with slightly relaxed mids. For neck position, the HA5 is slightly underwound. A standout feature of both is the high level of clarity they offer.

BASS CONTOUR CONTROL, KORINA BODY, HA5 PICKUPS AND QUALITY COMPONENTS

In addition to a three-way switch, you also get Reverend’s secret weapon: the Bass Contour control. This passive bass roll-off is great for tightening up the low end, or re-voicing the pickups. Used in conjunction with the Roundhouse’s humbucker pickups, you can dial in a much greater level of twang - it can make a humbucker sound more like a single coil. Variable pickup voicing at your fingertips!

The Roundhouse in Turquoise Flame Maple comes with a 12” radius Pau Ferro fretboard, resulting in a modern feel. The 22 medium jumbo frets are beautifully finished, allowing the action to go nice and low without buzz.

In terms of components, Reverend uses top shelf hardware and electronics. The Pure Tone jack socket features dual contacts for much improved reliability compared to standard sockets, which only have a single contact. A treble bleed circuit is used for the volume control, preserving the trebles when you roll back the volume. Reverend also uses 10% Alpha control pots and 10% polyester capacitors. The tighter tolerances (most pots and caps only have a 20% rating), result in much improved consistency and reliability. Reverend’s outstanding locking machine heads are a joy to use and virtually eliminate string slippage, as well as making string changes a cinch.

A Fantastic addition to the Reverend line up, the Roundhouse in Turquoise Flame Maple has the looks, tone and reliability to make it a competitor for much more expensive guitars.
