The Reverend Descent • Wildwood Guitars Overview 

These guys have great on camera chemistry - Koch cracks me up and makes me want to say “ I am not worthy”

I come back here every once in a while for the playing and chemistry

These two should have their own show -- I mean,...come on.

Just picked one of these up used. Played it in the shop for about 2 minutes before I knew it was coming home with me. Looks great, sounds great, set up perfectly, plays phenomenally for a bari. Wow.

I still come back to this and laugh. Amazing.

Jeeeeesus, Greg is filthy. Both he and the guitar sound phenomenal.

that's the most appropriate reaction to Greg Koch's playing i've ever seen

lol.....Ken Haas is just sitting there in awe......and no wonder. Greg is SMOKING on that baritone Reverend!

Besides being a flawless virtuoso, Koch will get into a groove, let you settle in and get complacent, and then start doing something like those little finger trills just to remind you that, oh, yeah, this is the best electric guitar player you've ever seen. Just in case you forgot.

played this guitar in a shop recently - amazing! sounds incredible with deeper notes.

Nice to hear a review with someone playing exceptionally well... too many of the reviews are a bit yawn inducing. Now I really want one... Well done! :)

1:44 best moment i want that riff on loop

I played this guitar in a shop recently - amazing! Sounds incredible with the deeper notes.

Why so many dislikes on these Reverend videos?

I shall never own one because I can't decide which of those colours I love the most and I can't afford two.

Greg is hilarious!

That fucking guy is Crazzy GOOOOOOOOOT

Ooh maybe I need a thumb pick now

@7:21 wow... The face of appreciation

Man, I like the looks of that orange one. Are they not so pricey?

Best replacement strings are?

Hey! I bought this guitar from you guys! It is amazing.

this has to be one of my favorite reviews. f an a that thing rips

The only question is which finish...

After years of thinking about getting a baritone guitar, I narrowed it down to three potential choices -- the Reverend Descent, Gretsch Jet and the Eastwood Sidejack. Of these makers, I own only a Reverend (Club King 290) which I absolutely love. Yet, for the baritone I chose the Eastwood Sidejack, and I would like to tell you why so that maybe Reverend can fix the problem, which has its roots (from my perspective) in the demos I saw on RU-vid of the instruments. I am seeking the retro twangy baritone sound (think of the sound in "Apache," "Twin Peaks Theme," "Blue Monday" and so on). The Gretsch had rounder sounds in all the demos I heard, probably awesome for solo jazz. On the Reverend and the Sidejack demos, too many masturbators eager to show their chops demonstrate that they do not have the sensitivity to the baritone guitar instrument and overplay the instrument with no sensitivity to the feel or sound of the slacker strings. Or other types stay in the pitch register that they are comfortable with on a standard guitar, so I am not sure what the purpose of "baritone" is to them. Both of these types demonstrate one thing: they don't know what they are doing with a baritone guitar. I care about details and specifics, because sounds generate meaning within social contexts and I am after expression of meaning, not wankery or meaningless sound in a social vacuum. Although I believe the Reverend MIGHT be able to give me the tone I want (because of the special tone controls), but I have no proof of it on RU-vid. So -- as beautiful as the Descent is -- why would I pay $300 more for the Reverend that might give me what I want (and will depreciate in value) when I know the Eastwood will because I have heard two people who actually know what they are doing on a baritone guitar demo that sound by actually playing some of the songs I mentioned above as well as showing other applications. My advice to Reverend is to advertise this instrument using people who know what they are doing on the baritone guitar and have had some time to explore the Descent itself, and show me how it can make some classic sounds as well as maybe some others in its palette. While this guitarist is awesome, he seems to be just doing what he does on any guitar because he was put on the spot. Please fix your demos -- I did not see one of Descent that was acceptable, so I went elsewhere. Thanks.

OMG... im going to dream about this guitar from now.... heartbreaking...

Avocado color en route

WE GET IT GREG!!!! You're good! =P lolololol

Wouldn’t a bari tuned A-A be better?

Great video. I am seeking to get an actual size pencil tracing of this guitar body as its about 2/3rds the size of a traditional Jaguar. Could we connect via email and make arrangements? FYI, I am planning on making a handmade acoustic hollow body version and thus I seeking the tracing and size of this guitar?

10:03 will be a smash hit, just wait.

It's just not psychobilly anymore unless it's in B standard.

hey Greg slowed down enough to notice a TONE CONTROL in this ONE video.....he did not do too much with it....he noticed it.....

whats that riff that opens this vid? I wanna be it.

These sound like they would be good for a bebop sound

Sybil a true story

Is that on tape? are you kidding me! Fossils with guitars lol

are these still made?

Some say protos some say pratos some say proctos wait those are drs.

Or you can just order custom strings from stringjoy............................................................... that are even better while still same idea.......................................... that arent out of stock....................................................

Excellent review. Hilarious too.

I love most of Reverend's guitars, I am only annoyed that they basically have no contours. I really wish they had some, would make them even better looking, I feel. After all, contours seem more natural, as humans prefer those after all 😉

Problem is...all made in china/ or not Usa... no thanks... I want to support normal nations..

played this guitar in a shop recently - amazing! sounds incredible with deeper notes.
