Joe Naylor used to produce his guitars in the states, but now he designs them here, has them built to HIS specs in Korea and then shipped back here to be QC'd at Reverend in Detroit.....trust me, these guitars made me put down my Fenders AND Gibsons...VIMirrors, read up on them
These guitars have just recently been on my radar and been trying to see as many demos & obtain as much info as I can. I'm just not sure which model I would want. If you know much on them what model would you choose for my style? I play a cross between Black Crowes, Smashing Pumpkins, Sabbath, Electric Wizard & Jr. Brown. Thank you in advance.
Mirror rorriM I'm looking to learn more as well. I know Billy Corgan has his own model. See if your local guitar shop has one to try out, and if so, try different amps. I tried the Sensei RA on a Blackstar HT Club 40 and was impressed.
I have the Manta Ray and the Bayonet and both play fantastic. I have an old vintage Tele as well which is still my number one but I had a Gibson Les Paul Custom and the Troy Jazzmaster and sold them both when I heard what these guitars were capable of. Definitely make some incredible guitars worth checking out.
Fair point, but still, even for a well-off person, Mesas aren't exactly cheap. And it'd be good to hear guitars through different amps for comparison purposes anyway, right?
Sweet I'll look it up on ebay, in our rehearsal room I play thru a peavey with an orange cab. That's not my rig but the orange sounds super clean. I haven't heard about blackstar amps will check 'em out aswell. Thx :)
Dude, Mesa amps aren't very forgiving. I got the best results plugging the higher end guitars into the multi-watt Dual Rec that I was test driving. Not the best tone for every style, but the quality of guitars still told on themselves.
Your right, true, I just bought a Gibson Sg standard a month ago and my amp of choice would be a Mesa Dual Rect but even a second handed one costs a fortune so I'll have to go for something cheaper, couse I need an amp asap maybe some alltube Randall or Peavey and a Marshall 1960 cab.
My bandmate has a Gibson SG too! I'd recommend looking on eBay. I got a great (now pretty difficult to find because they're discontinued) Laney Pro-Tube 100 on there for £200 - absolute bargain. Sounds better than most modern amps I've heard. Sounds humongous when you drive the tubes, has a nice clean and the bass boost is mindblowing. Sounds best through Orange cabs. My bandmate uses Blackstar amps & I'd recommend them as well. We've had other bands tell us our tone is 'disgustingly good', haha
I'm not being funny, but you could put the worst guitar through a Mesa head and Bogner cab and it'd sound good. I like the look and spec of this guitar, but I feel as though I'm probably not getting a true representation of what it sounds like. PG should demo through at least three different amp/cab combinations so you're not getting a bias either way.
I watch so many I mean a lot of guitar reviews I just like the way they look sound etc. like everyone else- but theres this "thing" out there like 1 guitar is going to replace the rest or this guitar sounds like a Strat & Les Paul and/or etc. you can get jangly , meaty, thick, fat, bumby tones (I made up the bumby one) . Hey versatility is great but if my ears serve me I have seen a Tele play everything from country to metal with the right pedals. Every player I see online wants every guitar they see - even if they could get it all from one rig they'd want 2 of those. Its all good what these guitars do is give a slightly newer unique sound which is very cool.
i like the mat satin looking finish. Pickups seem sweet. Shape of guitar is nice. I'd expect to pay around $200-400 for that guitar. 1k+ no thanks... So many other better options. Epi Les Paul standard w protop plus hums come in at $600. For hard distorted rock at that price I'm going Used ESP. Orrrr if I don't play live and just record, buy a cheap Dean and get a shit ton of super nice digital Interface modeled guitars/amps for my daw with all the money I saved.
My Reverends shit on every Gibson guitar I’ve touched. If you think that Epiphone of all brands has anything on Reverend, you’re objectively out of your damn mind.
