Reverend Sensei 290 Electric Guitar - Metallic Limeade

The Reverend Sensei 290 electric guitar updates the Sensei platform with a lighter, more streamlined body, upgraded ebony fingerboard and a pair of hum-canceling Reverend Steelhead P90 pickups. Its korina solidbody keeps the guitar lively and resonant, while the thinner body design gives the low end a tighter feel and makes the instrument more comfortable during long sessions. The Steelhead P90 set delivers true P90 snap and grit with Alnico V magnets for smooth highs and dynamic response, giving the guitar the bite needed for rock, indie, punk, roots and studio work without the noise that often comes with traditional P90-style pickups. With Bass Contour control, a three-piece korina neck, Reverend pin-lock tuners and a TOM bridge with stop tailpiece, the Sensei 290 is built for players who want punch, clarity and useful tone shaping in a compact Reverend design.

Streamlined Korina Body With Tighter Response

The Sensei 290 uses a korina solidbody with a newly streamlined shape that feels lighter and more immediate in the hands. Korina gives the guitar a lively harmonic response, while the reduced body thickness helps tighten the low end and keeps the instrument comfortable during long rehearsals or performances. The result is a guitar that feels quick, resonant and easy to control, especially for players who move between rhythm parts and lead lines throughout a set.

Steelhead P90 Pickups With Hum-Canceling Performance

The Reverend Steelhead P90 pickups give the Sensei 290 its main voice. They are designed to deliver true P90-style snap, grit and dynamic attack while reducing hum for more dependable stage and studio use. Alnico V magnets add shimmer, smoothness and response, helping the bridge pickup cut with authority and the neck pickup stay full without becoming muddy. For players who like P90 character but need a quieter, more controlled rig, this pickup set is a major part of the guitar’s appeal.

Bass Contour for P90 Twang and Low-End Control

Reverend’s Bass Contour control lets players reshape the Sensei 290 without adding extra switches or complicated wiring. Rolling it back trims bass from the pickups, creating tighter rhythm tones, more twang and extra cut. Leaving it open gives the Steelhead P90s more body and punch. The treble bleed circuit keeps the high end present when the volume comes down, so the guitar can clean up from the controls while still staying articulate.

Ebony Fingerboard and Three-Piece Korina Neck

An ebony fingerboard gives the Sensei 290 a fast, slick feel with crisp attack and long fingerboard life. The 12" radius and 22 frets provide a comfortable playing surface for bends, lead runs and chord work, while the medium oval neck profile gives the guitar a familiar feel. A three-piece korina neck adds stiffness and seasonal stability, and the dual-action truss rod with headstock access supports easier setup adjustment over time.

Reverend Hardware and Modern Sensei Details

Reverend pin-lock tuners, a Boneite nut and a TOM bridge with stop tailpiece help keep the Sensei 290 stable and ready for regular playing. The thin UV-cured finish lets the korina body resonate freely, while the Pure Tone jack, steel jack plate, custom dome knobs, Alpha pots and polyester capacitors support reliable signal and control performance. Finished with bold new top colors, transparent brown backs and an updated headstock logo, the Reverend Sensei 290 electric guitar gives players a modern P90-loaded workhorse with style, clarity and punch.
