How would you compare the Club King RT to a Reverend USA Wolfman? Also, do you like the tremelo on the Club King better then a Bigsby?  thanks!!!

@springfieldFam: Hey there, I've never had the pleasure of playing a USA Reverend, so I can't possibly compare. I do prefer the Les Trem to a bigsby because it's not so big and intrusive, and it's easier to re-string.

Hi mister Sooty! Just Wondering how this guitar matches up against a duesenberg starplayer TV if you've played one before. I saw you saying that personal for you it is tone wise better than a white falcon on some forum. Thanks so much!

@joykon85: Hey man, it's a tough comparisson to make. Those Doozies are very very nice guitars. I would say the doozie definitely has that extra touch of class, and if someone offered me a direct swap I'd be very tempted...but tonewise I think the Reverend stands up for sure. I'm not sure if the particular white falcon I compard my Reverend to was the best example of Gretsch's fine work, and I love Gretsch guitars too. But honestly, the Reverend is a fantastic sounding, very versatile guitar.

@joykon85: ....and you have to take into account the huge price difference between these Reverends and your higher end Gretches and Doozy's. I've had my Rev for a few years now, and it's still my go to guitar for church stuff. I'm still very happy with it, it's a quality axe at a great price, and one of the best sounding guitars I've heard in my 20+ years playing electric guitar, and my 17 years (on and off) working in music retail.

Very nice sound.

Is the Color Red or Orange?

[mistersooty]

Orange, officially 'Rock Orange'. Quite bright, looked more faded on the website. Hopefully it'll fade a little over time.

@joykon85 I have a Starplayer TV and it's a great guitar but I had to change out the pickups to get a sound I like. The Duesenbergs are way overpriced in the USA for what they are, I bought mine off of German ebay and saved about a grand. They are flashy with the German hardware but I think I'd buy three or four Reverends instead of the Duesenberg. The Club King is similar to the SP TV, they both have spruce tops on semi-hollow bodies. I like the neck shape better on the Reverends.
