Members AtomHeartMother Posted November 8, 2006 Members Share Posted November 8, 2006 They seem to have some very interesting, unique guitars that look to be made of quality parts. Anyone own one (or has played one)? This particular one looks pretty sexy to me. They used to have one with a cutaway and a Bigsy; that must have been a prototype, I guess. The only concern I have is the spruce top. Would it be susceptible to humidity/temperature changes like an acoustic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dogsinotpalc Posted November 8, 2006 Members Share Posted November 8, 2006 The top shouldn't be too muchof an issue (or actually not one at all) as it is sealed. The issues of humidity and its effect on woods are really only constant concern with acoustics, hollowbodies, and sound-holed semi-hollows (these being the least of the three to worry about).I want thyat same guitar. Missed out on the Telesonic and Gilmour's sound playing the Gretsch on his DVD has me jonesing BADLY for this guitar, orange finish, les-trem and all.Just don't store it in water.

Members Jealousblues Posted November 8, 2006 Members Share Posted November 8, 2006 i want a slingshot custom badly. Maybe even with a bigsby. (anyway I think its "custom" the one with the three P90s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Christobevii3 Posted November 8, 2006 Members Share Posted November 8, 2006 Are the revetron pickups regular space or mini buckers? I've been wanting the charger with the p90's in red... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpeedBallBlues Posted November 8, 2006 Members Share Posted November 8, 2006 The US made ones were very good and I've heard that the korean ones are too. Joe Naylor and several Reverend heads hand out at the FDP board, maybe you could ask there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BootRoots Posted November 8, 2006 Members Share Posted November 8, 2006 I got my hands on one of the first run flatrocs with the f-hole and bigsby. Its one of 12 I believe. Naylor claimed they were pron to feedback so he took away the f-hole but I have yet to have any problems at all. Its a really well made quality guitar. Lots of attention to detail. The bigsby with the roller bridge and sting guides never goes out of tune. I really dig the sound of the revtrons as well. Might not be everyones cup of tea though.I am very interested in picking up another rev in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Christobevii3 Posted November 8, 2006 Members Share Posted November 8, 2006 How do the revetron pickups compare to p90's and humbuckers in general? What style of music do you think they are best for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What style of music do you think they are best for? similar to gretsch filtertrons. Suited for rockabilly and stuff like that. very heavy in the upper-mids. I play blues and it sounds great. it handle a fair amount of gain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called Steve Yankee at Reverend and he estimated that only about 50 like mine exist and possible less with only two pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JiveJust Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 My flatroc is one of 12 made with the f-hole and bigsby;) Yeah I saw that. That rocks! Reverend got rid of the Bigsby option. The Les Trems operate really well but they don't seem to have a vintage vibe to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Les Trems operate really well but they don't seem to have a vintage vibe to me. That's what sold me on my new Used Rev. The bigsby! I love em! and it works great on that guitar. Joe said they gave them headaches, but the les trem just isn't sexy in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
