Reverend Buckshot, Roasted Maple Neck/Fingerboard, Chronic Blue

The Buckshot has become a staple in Reverend's Bolt-On lineup, boasting a unique single-cutaway design and a pickup configuration that combines vintage twang with modern versatility.

Boasting one of Reverend's unique shapes, the Korina its body is comprised of is the Buckshot's cornerstone of its sonic identity. Attached using sturdy connection that features six bolts, the Buckshot's neck is cut from roasted maple, and features a fingerboard of the same material. The roasting process this wood undergoes is overseen by Reverend and contributes to the removal of impurities from the wood during its baking, making for a neck that has a higher threshold of withstanding seasonal and environmental changes. This neck features Reverend's Medium Oval profile, a 12" fingerboard radius, and 22 frets that measure 0.110" wide by 0.050" high.

The heart of this Buckshot is its, specifically designed Retroblast humbucker found in the neck, and Greasy T single-coil in the bridge. The Greasy T, built with ceramic magnets, delivers a fat tone with a distinctive bite and percussive attack. It's noticeably warmer than Rev's traditional T pickups, making it a powerhouse for players seeking vintage twang with a touch more thickness. In comparison, the neck's Retroblast, a humbucker with a 42-gauge wire, oversized 5mm thick alnico 5 magnet, and 6.5Kohms impedance, is a filtertron-sized pickup that offers a gut-wrenching midrange punch, chime-like highs, and string-to-string clarity. The versatility of this pickup configuration is furthered by the addition of a bass contour rolloff knob at the top of the guitar, allowing for low-end adjustment on the fly.

With its charming Chronic Blue finish, unique to Reverend's arsenal, the Buckshot offers player-ready performance features and a robust designed that makes it a standout of its lineup and a guitar that sounds and looks equally well.
