Reverend Guitars Experiences

Any Reverend owners on here?
What are your opinions on their guitars?
Looking for a bolt on neck rock machine.
Cheers.

Funny this topic comes up now! Just a few days ago I stumbled over a shop nearby having a Reverend Trickshot which really intrigued me. I haven't yet been able to try it out, but my research indicates a good reputation for the brand. They have a lot on offer, and here in Germany I've never seen one in person.

Every one I've played so far has been really well put together and felt great. I haven't felt compelled to buy one personally because they aren't aesthetically to my taste, but I absolutely wouldn't turn my nose up at having to play one in a pinch. The necks are always really nice and all the hardware is rock solid. You're also starting to see a lot more of them turn up in the hands of pros, so that's always a good sign.

Currently own a Sensei (24.75", set) and a Flatroc (25.5", bolt), both with Bigsbys and Revtrons, along with a hardtail Jetstream 290.
I've also owned another Flatroc (sold it in favour of my current, sparklier Flatroc), a Jetstream 390 (can't hang with a Strat trem) and a Warhawk RT (felt tiny/I'm huge).
They're excellent instruments. Need nothing out of the box. Can see more in my future.

Wooooof that's a beaut. I wonder if they'll ever bring back the Dano-style construction. It was really cool.

It seems like I remember that guy Gearmandude, that demos pedals and amps on youtube, has one. He uses a curly, squigly cable, probably just to annoy the hell out of everyone. But I like his demos, they're straightforward and honest, kind of like JuntNick's.

I know nothing about the guitars, but that can't be a bad endorsement.

The USA-made ones are absolutely amazing. The only reason I don't still have this Wolfman, is I traded it for my ECJM!

Bob was truly epic and was the original Offset Cat!

In that photo, we was nine years old. He died of renal failure two years later. :'(

I have a Warhawk 390 that I've played non stop for 10 years. It's an absolute workhorse and still my favourite guitar.

If I were to get another one today it would be the double agent. Cant think of a better rock machine than a P90 in the neck, HB in the bridge combo.

Which double agent model?
The Double Agent OG is the ugliest mismatch of ideas I’ve ever seen.
