Members Lonnie99 Posted November 15, 2011 Members Share Posted November 15, 2011 Sweet guitar here. I just got this back yesterday. It was stolen from me in Jul of 09. I've been watching for it ever since and guess what showed up on my local CL last week! HA! Anyway, here it is. Wilkinson Trem with roller nut, old West German Schaller tuners, hand would Entwhistle/White single coils. The first tone knob is a push/pull boost. The neck profile is rather thin and flat, like the Ibanez Wizard necks, 24 frets. Hate to sell this one but I need some $$$ fast. $320 shipped in the US. I'll ship overseas as well. Getting restrung tonight. PS the trem is perfectly straight, that's just a goofy pic angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mc_carlini Posted November 16, 2011 Members Share Posted November 16, 2011 That is a sweet looking guitar and nice fretboard. What is the body wood type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lonnie99 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 I was never able to find out through my research. It's not heavy but not super light either. Here are more pics. It also has a long tenon style neck setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lonnie99 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 More pics. This thing is just like my Fender Powerhouse Strat, but more powerful! Here's more info I found. The Revelation was designed around 91/92, in an effort to raise Hohners reputation from a "copy-maker" to something a bit more high tech. The design was done by a UK team that included Alan Entwhistle and tremolo guru Trev Wilkinson. The aim was to produce a guitar able to sound good in everything from heavy metal to country - a pretty lofty goal. This guitar was made in Czechoslovakia, in a factory rumored to be the origin of many of Kramer's "made in the USA" guitars!! The pickups were designed by Alan Entwhistle and built by English pickup maker by the name of David White. The RTS has offset double cutaway asymmetrical poplar body, black pick guard, bolt on maple neck, 24 fret rosewood fingerboard with offset pearl dot inlays, locking Wilkinson tremolo bridge, Wilkinson WNFS-2 roller nut, 6 on one-side Schaller tuners (they say W. Germany, not Germany, so I know it's pre-unification), chrome hardware, 3 single coil pickups (Entwistle-White brand name) , 1 volume / 2 tone controls and a five position pickup selector switch . What's interesting about this guitar is that the first tone control is a PUSH-PUSH switch, activating a little active boost black box , which is really a wide band capacitor, located in the cavity between the first tone and volume pots, that boosts the signal output in all five positions. It's called an Advanced Tonal Network. Essentially, this is a 10 sound guitar. If you activate the push-push control, it turns off the ability to tone adjust until you turn off the push. The second tone knob is also kind of unique. It has a point where the tone is hot and then a point where it's more muted, treble is bled off, but another half twist continuing in the same direction and it's back.
