Treble: 1:30
Mid: 2:45
Bass: 2:45
Volume: 8:30
15w pentode mode.

It's 10 Cent Pistol by the Black Keys. Could do with some Tremelo to sound just right I think

This was a great video. Thank you for posting. I hope to get one on my birthday in August. Its between the Buckshot and the Fender Jazzmaster. Your video put me that much closer to the Buckshot.

The Jazzmaster's a great guitar as well (I had an MIJ one for a while), but they're very different beasts. The JM requires a lot of work and upkeep to keep it working well, and maybe some mods as well. When setup properly, it does what it does very well. The Reverend comes with a great setup, and has a big variety of sounds right there at your fingertips from the word go. Not better or worse, just a different kind of guitar to own and play.

It is Far Eastern made with final assembly and setup by Reverend in the US. The early ones (pre 2006 I think) were US made out of composite materials. The modern ones are wood. This one is Korina like old Flying Vs.

The Neck is quite chunky, but with a fairly flat radius and medium-jumbo frets. It is slightly thinner front-to-back than a Tele AV52RI, but with a slightly wider nut width if that's any help.
