USA Advanced Series Slingshot with P90s (Click for a close-up)

Reverend Musical Instruments has revamped their guitar line for 2005 with the introduction of the USA Advanced Series. These American made guitars are built to order, offering a wide range of hardware and finish options.

All guitars feature the new Bass Contour control. This passive bass reduction circuit adjusts between a slight bass roll-off to completely re-voicing the pickups. Humbuckers can be re-voiced to sound like single-coils, but without single-coil hum. P-90's can be re-voiced to sound like Fender-style pickups according to the company.

The USA Advanced Series series consists of the Wolfman, Rocco, Slingshot, and Slingshot Custom models.

Features:

• Patented tone-chambered body.
• Bass Contour control.
• Sperzel locking tuners.
• Reverend custom designed pickups.
