This is a 2006 Reverend Warhawk 290 in Tobacco Sunburst with a Les Trem. It's a mahogany body with thinner wings for better resonance. Poly finish on the body and the neck. Neck is a medium thickness, reverse headstock with locking tuners. Rosewood fretboard. No fret buzz. It has an attached Les Trem, a lot like a Bigsby. Tone, Volume, Bass response (awesomest knob ever. fuzz + bass knob = omg) knobs + 3 way switch. P90 pickups, have a great overdriven snarl. With the bass response knob, if you take out a lot of the bass you get a nice Stratish sound. Very versatile.

The only problem is the Les Trem knocks the high E string out of tune sometimes. A quick setup or bridge change (original TOM stoptail bridge assembly included) will fix that. It has one or two dings. It hums and squeals a little at loud volumes, but that's what single coil pickups do! Nice feedback. The bridge pickup was microphonic, but I sent it back and Joe Naylor and the gang personally fixed it.

I'm letting this go for $400 + shipping with a soft shell case. CONUS only please, for now. This is a discontinued model that retailed for $600. It has a small ding or two that I can take pictures of if you need me to.

Review:

It plays superbly; it's hard to tell that it's actually a Korean guitar! The neck is straight, no messed up frets or anything. The vibrato arm does knock the high E string out of tune/break it at the bridge, but a setup would fix it. the Tune o matic bridge assembly would be included.

Sound-wise, it's insane. The P90s + the bass contour knob allow you to go from Live at Leeds to Electric Ladyland, if you know what I mean. Big, mean, fat P90 sound in the bridge, a quacky mid position and a faattt neck position. Roll down the bass knob for your Stevie Ray and Jimi stuff. I got it back when I didn't know exactly what I wanted and I just knew I wanted something versatile-- and this is it! But I bought a Jazzmaster that I love, and I need to let this one go to pay back my parents a little/save for a 70's Guild Acoustic.

Other features: Mahogany body, Maple neck. Rosewood fretboard, reverse headstock, locking tuners, vibrato (very similar to a vibrola/bigsby). Set up for 11's right now.

Feel free to PM me or IM me about this stuff.

Stuff I'm looking for:

Ibanez AD9/ADL
ibanez ad-150
electra ep-150
electra ep-250
yamaha E1005
yamaha E1010

OLC Chunky Cheese
Ernie Ball Volume Pedal Jr.
Some sort of pedal tuner-- NOT a Strobostomp
