I've got a Reverend Slingshot that I love! The neck is awesome and the body resonates better than my 73 Les Paul Custom.

I don't own a Rocco, but a few years ago I played one that was a remnant from when they sold through retail. Great playing, great sounding guitar. I didn't think much of it when I first looked at it, but when I plugged in I was genuinely blown away. After checking out a bunch of other guitars at other guitar shops I went back to buy it but someone had already picked it up.

hey ian! can you tell me more on your slingshot? the tone, sustain and what you don't like on the guitar? i read that many find reverend guitars to be on the bright side of things.

hey mjsever, that must have sucked. i would appreciate if you don't mind elaborating great playing and great sounding. cheers!

Re: reverend guitars

I had a slingshot for a while, but it was one of the metal topped ones. I had a problem with the edge. That little chrome armrest was in the wrong position for my arm. It was slightly adjustable, but not enough. The problem? Well, I kept getting these little paper cut things on my arm from the metal top. I finally had to sell it. My arm was a mess after a long night of playing it. Nice tone though.

The tone is very nice...awfully meaty for a semi-hollow! The sustain is pretty good...mine has a hardtail, so that's probably why. My only complaint is that I wish mine had locking tuners, but the new ones have those. I have no issues with excess brightness.
