An electric guitar with hum-free P90 snap and bite.
Dialing in your sound shouldn’t feel like work, and the Reverend Charger 290 solidbody electric guitar is built to feel ready the moment you plug in. Its slim solid korina body keeps the response tight and lively, while the 25.5" scale adds snap and definition that translates immediately to your amp. A roasted maple bolt-on neck provides speed and stability, and a pair of Steelhead P90 pickups deliver a raw, mid-forward voice that stays controlled even when you push gain hard.
Steelhead P90 Pickups Deliver Grit With Control
The Charger 290 uses a matched set of Steelhead P90 pickups to balance bite, clarity, and output. Strong midrange presence helps riffs and leads cut through dense mixes, while the hum-cancelling design keeps noise out of the signal path. A three-way pickup switch makes it easy to move between neck warmth, bridge bite, and blended textures without losing definition.
Bass Contour Control Shapes Low-End Feel
Reverend’s bass contour control goes beyond traditional tone shaping by adjusting how much low end hits your amp. Rolling it back tightens attack and articulation, while opening it up adds body and weight for fuller chords and single-note lines. Paired with standard volume and tone controls, it gives you fast, practical control over how the guitar sits in a mix.
Korina Body and Roasted Maple Neck Stay Fast and Stable
The solid korina body balances comfortable weight with natural resonance, keeping the guitar responsive during long rehearsals and sets. A roasted maple neck with a medium oval profile feels familiar and broken in, encouraging smooth transitions between rhythm and lead work. The rosewood fingerboard adds a slightly warmer response while staying articulate across all 22 frets.
String-Through Bridge and Clean Hardware Keep Notes Anchored
A string-thru-body bridge with an aluminum ferrule block reinforces sustain and note clarity, especially on the lower strings. Chrome hardware and a straightforward layout keep everything dependable and easy to adjust on the fly.
A Versatile P90 Platform for Players Who Cover the Set
If you want a solidbody electric guitar that balances punch, flexibility, and a fast feel, the Charger 290 delivers a focused solution. Its dual P90 layout, bass contour control, and lightweight build make it equally effective for tight rhythm work, cutting leads, and players who want expressive control without unnecessary complexity.
