Sturdy, lightweight woods deliver exceptional warmth and balance

Reverend’s consistency in quality and incredible tone is a hallmark of their brand, and it all starts with the woods. The company focuses on a no-compromise standard their meticulously chosen woods combine long-lasting durability with room-filling resonance. Korina bodies are well-known for their presence in boutique and custom-shop instruments, exuding velvety warmth while balancing lows, mids, and highs exceptionally well. The Charger HB’s roasted maple neck feels sturdy in the hands, holding up to humidity changes while out on the road and delivering that beloved “snap.” The matching roasted maple fingerboard feels just as exceptional as it looks, highly lauded for its smooth-as-glass texture and effortless playability in all positions.

Custom Reverend humbuckers bring out the best in your instrument

Rather than rely on third-party pickups to get the job done, Reverend took it upon themselves to craft their own for the Charger HB. Loaded in both positions is a pair of custom-voiced humbuckers, akin to vintage PAFs with slight tweaks to deliver a distinct sound. The HA5 in the bridge packs a punch just like a roaring humbucker should, wound slightly hotter than comparable pickups for added thickness and warmth that works exceptionally well for modern genres and playing styles. Many players are quick to point out the clarity of the HA5 in the neck position: it’s much more open sounding than your standard PAF while possessing all of the smoothness of its inspiration. When you’re in need of a versatile workhorse, this impressive set of pickups is sure to give you a standout sound.

One strum is all it takes to experience the exquisite quality of Reverend’s guitars. The Charger HB comes stock with several enhancements typically reserved for instruments more than double the cost. The result? A 6-string with an elite, pro-quality feel. The Bass Contour knob is a handy tool for tone shaping. It’s capable of tightening up flub and even changing the characteristics of your pickups humbuckers can quickly morph into single-coils with this awesome mod! Like all of Reverend’s other offerings, the Charger HB comes equipped with an upgraded jack courtesy of Pure Tone Technologies. Rather than employ the standard single contact, Pure Tone jacks use a pair of contacts for a tighter connection and a more consistent signal.
