Top-shelf tonewoods, top-drawer components

As do all Reverend guitars and basses, the Reeves Gabrels Signature comprises only the finest tonewoods and components materials you expect to find on boutique, custom-shop instruments costing considerably more. From its ultra-stable roasted maple neck and proprietary pickups to its genuine Wilkinson WVS50 IIK vibrato bridge, this guitar is designed from the ground up for high performance. Even the parts you dont see are top drawer, such as premium 10% control pots and polyester capacitors, the robust Pure Tone Technologies jack, and a treble bleed circuit that preserves high end when you roll back the volume control. Reverend uses high-grade korina (white limba) coveted for its consistency and harmonic richness for their guitar and bass bodies. Korina is a highly resonant tonewood, a quality that is further enhanced by the instruments amazingly versatile electronics package, which features unique Railhammer humbucking pickups that utilize rails under the wound strings and poles under the plain strings. This setup delivers tight lows and fat highs, optimizing punch and clarity throughout the frequency range to make your chord work sparkle and your solos plow through the thickest arrangements.

Roasted maple neck for enhanced stability

Reverend Guitars uses a proprietary torrefaction (roasting) procedure on the maple neck of the Reeves Gabrels Signature. Heat treating the neck at over 300F, the process removes sugars, impurities, and almost all the moisture from the wood and collapses the cell walls, which dramatically increases stability, making your guitar much more impervious to humidity and climatic changes; while optimizing resonance, sustain, and overall tone. If you gig far and wide, youll appreciate this the next time you play Phoenix after a week in Miami. As roasting removes moisture, it also removes weight, so you can play marathon sets without next-day visits to your chiropractor. Roasting also imparts a rich caramel color for a warm vintage look. But if you ever do need to perform a neck adjustment, Reverends dual-action truss rod makes it fast and painless.
