Overview

A classically retro guitar with classic-style humbuckers and a pau ferro fingerboard.

Meet the Reverend Contender—Reverend Guitars’ flat-top, single-cut set-neck guitar. This Reverend Contender HB electric guitar is classically retro, but the offset body and six-in-line headstock give the guitar a modern feel. A strategic chamber under the pickguard increases resonance and reduces weight. The Reverend Contender HB has a pair of HA5 pickups. These classic-style humbuckers are a bit hotter than vintage for extra punch and excellent clarity. This guitar effortlessly combines vintage with cutting-edge—a hallmark of Reverend’s original designs.
