Yeah, I said it, but did I mean it?!
This is the Reverend Sensei RA in midnight black (no longer available in this color, but it is available in other nice colors) that I bought used. Want to know how to buy used gear? Watch this: • How To Buy Used Guitar...
This guitar is equipped with a bunch of features not always found on guitars, even in its price range. (MSRP $1439, but often $1199 at places like Sweetwater.)
The most unique feature is the bass contour knob, which is way different than a regular tone control and I believe unique to Reverend Guitars. Watch the video for a sound demo of this.
It's also got a treble bleed circuit, but I did not demo that in this video. Treble bleed is common enough that you can easily find many demos of it.
Anyway, this is a professional level guitar that I think you'll especially like if you like Gibson SGs. Unless you're one of those weirdos who are all "it's Gibson or nothing." In that case I can't help you. Nobody can. ;) I personally love the SG Standard, but this Reverend definitely gives it a run for its money.

NON-IMPORTANT NOTE
The guitar track in the intro actually is 4 guitar tracks, but I don't know how to film myself recording all those tracks and also edit all that video into something in iMovie so what you see is me pretending to play all the tracks at once, which is why it looks a little off. 🤣 All the other sound demos in the video are legit live playing, which probably isn't something to brag about but it is what it is. ;)
