Reverend Descent W Baritone Transparent White *Free Shipping in the US*
From Reverends' website-
"Get ready to throw down with this one – way down. An all-new baritone
design with a 26-3/4″ scale neck that’s long enough to deliver
thunderous lows, yet short enough to play like a normal guitar. The best
of both worlds! Strategically positioned Railhammer Humcutter pickups
keep the tone tight, and our custom SIT 12-68 gauge string set
(available separately) features a plain 3rd for easy bending. Feeling
the itch for that baritone growl, but don’t want to feel like you’re
playing a bass? Then the Descent W is your ticket."
CUSTOM PICKUPS
We
design our own proprietary custom pickups, to achieve the best tonal
match with our instruments. Reverend pickups are also specifically
designed for each position, for balanced volume and tone when
switching.
ROASTED MAPLE NECK
Roasted
Maple is heat treated at over 300° F to remove sugars, moisture, and
impurities. This maple is lighter, more stable, and has a beautiful
caramel color. The result is an exceptional maple neck that will require
less seasonal adjustment, and boasts a rich vintage look!
KORINA BODY
Korina
(aka White Limba) is a medium-light weight wood, highly prized for
consistency and tonal qualities. Often found in boutique and vintage
instruments, all Reverends feature Korina bodies. A highly resonant
wood, Korina is a key factor to producing our lively, responsive
instruments that are rich in harmonics.
BASS CONTOUR
This
passive bass roll-off is great for tightening up the low end, or
re-voicing the pickups. It can make a humbucker sound like a
single-coil, or give a P-90 that classic twang. Variable pickup voicing
at your fingertips!
PIN-LOCK TUNERS
A
thumbwheel under the tuner pushes a steel pin up through the post,
locking the string in place for exceptional tuning stability and
super-fast string changes.
INITIALED HEADSTOCK
Every
Reverend is hand initialed and serial numbered on the back of the
headstock by one of our highly skilled technicians who sets up,
inspects, and tests every instrument.
WILKINSON WVS50 IIK TREMOLO
Features
include saddles that lock to the baseplate, adjustable arm swing
tension, and a push-in/no freeplay arm. Combined with our boneite nut
and pin-lock tuners, it stays in tune even under aggressive whammy
action.
VARI-CLAW TREMOLO CLAW
This
innovative claw gives you the option of 3 springs in the middle for a
firm tremolo feel, or 2 springs on the outside for a softer feel. The
offset hook design lets you switch between 3 or 2 springs, with little
or no cumbersome adjustment of the claw needed.
CUSTOM DOME KNOBS
Our
proprietary knobs feature a lower profile which is less likely to be
accidentally hit by the player's hand, and the white dot lets you easily
see where your knob rotation is set.
BONEITE NUT
We
use "Boneite," a synthetic bone nut, that is more consistent than
natural bone, on all Reverend instruments. It reduces friction, allowing
the strings to slide through the nut slots smoothly, improving tuning
stability.
TRIPLE-TREE STRING TREE
This
patent-pending string tree has an extended bar to hold down three
strings at a time with just one tree, eliminating G string buzz in the
nut slot.
DUAL-ACTION TRUSS ROD
Our
dual action rod adjusts in both directions, allowing back bow or
forward bow. This assures correct adjustment range is possible
regardless of string tension, extreme climate conditions, or the effects
of long term aging. It’s also located at the headstock for easy access.
SIX-BOLT NECK PLATE
Two
extra bolts increase mounting pressure of the neck by fifty percent.
This makes a stronger neck connection, which improves sustain, tuning
stability, and neck alignment.
ANGLED NECK HEEL
All
Reverend solidbody guitars in the Bolt-On series feature a low profile,
angled neck heel. This improves comfort and hand access when you’re
reaching for those high notes!
CUSTOM JACK PLATE
Our
proprietary jack plate features four mounting screws, instead of two.
The extra screws prevent the plate from tearing out of the body. Made of
steel for durability, the laser etched logo adds an extra touch of
class!
PURE TONE JACK
All
Reverends use an upgraded jack by Pure Tone Technologies. A standard
jack has single contacts, but the Pure Tone jack has dual contacts for
improved grip, audio signal and reliability. The most dependable guitar
jack available.
TREBLE BLEED CIRCUIT
All
Reverend guitars have a treble bleed circuit, preserving the treble
when you roll back the volume control. When you roll back a standard
volume control, the tone loses treble and becomes dull sounding. Now you
can turn down and still sound great!
10% POTS
We
use Alpha control pots with a +-10% rating. While a typical pot is
+-20%, our pots are built to tighter specifications, making them more
consistent. Typically used in expensive boutique guitars, but standard
issue in all Reverends.
10% POLY CAPS
We
use caps with a +-10% rating, while a typical cap is +-20%. Our caps
are made to tighter specifications, so they’re more consistent. Made of
polyester, they’re also longer lasting, and less affected by temperature
than cheaper ceramic caps. Typically used in expensive boutique
guitars.
