I was blown away when I got my Sensei recently...and I was already expecting quality! If they had a higher profile, they would be eating Gibson's lunch. Fender shouldn't be too comfortable either...Reverend might do the Tele better than Fender!
@@sidestyle05 they should do a pickup range then. Those Tele pickups they do are good, but just not my thing. And I have two Revs in my stable and I do love them both
@@peterosipov400 Well, they (sort of) do with the Ralhammers. I just put a Humcutter Nuevo in the neck position of my Reverend Reeves Gabrels and REALLY like it. Sounds more like a fat single coil than a P90 to my ears.
You probably dont care but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the password. I love any assistance you can offer me!
I had my mind set on another model, that video probably sold me on the Contender RB too, straight up, that’s like the most perfect, midrange mini bucker growl ever.. I’m a bolt on neck,tele,Flatroc guy too exclusively.. I’m sold
Just saw this post finally. I’ve got a Flatroc and love it. Superior build quality, great feel, stays in tune forever with the locking tuners, and nice unique tone!
This is blowing my mind! First time I’ve ever heard any lower frequency tones on an Anderton’s demo! Lol, they seem to eq both the guitars themselves and the recorded audio without much low end and this is SO much nicer sounding! Some low end yayyyhh!!
Appreciate the Reverend recognition. Fun video. Lots to like about Reverend guitars, especially the consistently excellent set up, right out of the box.
By the way, the Club King starts as a solid Korina block, with a hollow carve, and a solid spruce top. Hollow on the bass side and under the pick guard.
I have 2 Reverend guitars--The Jenn Wasner Charger HB, and a Silverburst Volcano RA. What I really love about Reverend guitars is the tonal variety I get with the treble-bleed, which all Reverend guitars have, and the bass contour knob.
The emerald green Flatrock looks and sounds and sounds amazing. Not only do we get to see some really nice guitars, but we also get the benefit of learning those incredibly cool "expensive" barre chords from Pete that sound awesome !!!
Video Suggestions: Making this on some of my favorites as well as yours which may be my favorite. REAL player. The RUclips "GAS" confusion effect. I seem to have gotten myself into a Rut where I have so much "GEAR" I'm just confused. "Probably" why I for years and still do reach for my Taylor . Good news front. Landed a 12 Martin When they Zig, I ZAG. But really want to become a better Electric player in 2020. I'm just geared out. Two whole setups. One pure digital. One mostly analog. Both have their flavors. Neither is unique to me. Whereas I pickup my Taylor it's me, every time. Have a fantastic Summer.
Oh man, gear saturation is a real problem! I'm a very sub-average Guitar player, primarily a Drummer and keyboard player second. The sheer amount of stuff I have for Drums and Synths is quite absurd, I have to just strip right down every so often and focus on the absolute basics. It can be quite refreshing and something of a reboot, quite a kick when you find that sweet spot that's just you.
Remember the gear doesn’t matter. You sound like you no matter. A musicians voice is in the hands and the mind. The phrasing, feel, groove and the note choice make the voice. The gear just gives you a tone.
@@benlogan430 Can't say I agree. When I play, say, a Fender i feel different, sound different and play different music than when I play a Gibson or humbuggery guitar, and playing an acoustic is a million times different, even when playing a lead part.
Those chords have always been my go-to for chilled strumming. Originally got them from Prodigal Son by Iron Maiden. They just feel really cool to play :-)
Beautiful guitars and a gorgeous sound they all produce. They are close to the tone I would like to create. I am very impressed especially with the Clubking and the Flatroc.
I own two flatrocs, I ignore all my other guitars now..all collect dust, I pick up one tele and an acoustic occasionally, but I ignore an entire rack of 11 really nice guitars..ever since I got my first flatroc,now I’m looking at my third Reverend.
This just reinforced my opinion that the Reverend FLATROC is the most raw, growling,grainy, grinding, most badass, most versatile sounding guitar since the telecaster
@@travisjohnson7065 My Flatroc should arrive tomorrow. I've been Jonesing for this guitar ever since I watched this video. The sounds/tones are just phenomenal!
Made in Japan guitars have been some of the highest quality made for over 40 years. and don't let the Captain tell you any different. I have quite a few made in Japan guitars spread from the 80's to 2012. Not only are they as good as a USA or any other country you care to mention, they are quite often better. Basically I would say that the best guitars made in the 1980's were made in Japan.
Great stuff as ever guys. By the way, you mention around 30.35s in about the Bigsby getting in the way of the pickup selector. I bought this very guitar this weekend and had the same problem, however in the case comes a spare standard size Bigsby spring which solves this issue. The default lower (shorter springed) tremolo arm is something Reverend are trying to innovate I believe, Im sure you guys will know more. Though this might be worth a mention :)
Hooray! Some Reverend love. In spring last year I went to Andertons with my 335 to try out some amps. Walked past an Orange Club King and thought it looked great so I tried it. Loved it immediately and bought it from Andertons online about a week later. Sold the Gibson to pay for it (with an amp’s worth of change) and don’t regret it. The Club King is wonderful. It can rock, jazz, blues, twang, jangle...everything. The roast maple neck is the best I’ve played and it looks fantastic. Also, if you ask a question in their forums Ken himself often replies. They’re a top company and make Simply amazing guitars for any money. Problem is, once you have one..... charger 290 next, I think!
U can’t just have one..exactly, I got a Flatroc, wound up getting another anniversary Flatroc with a bigsby and sparkle finish, now I’m looking at the new Asheton signature or a Club King, I’ll never go back to Gibson.. I have a couple that I like, but rarely play. my Revs stay in tune, and the intonation is accurate way up the neck, I’d never experienced that..
I agree with Pete about the positioning of the pickup selector. PRS put theirs away at the back as well on most of their guitars and I think it's the worst place to put one. Never been a fan of a Bigsby either
@@calebthompson550 I've only briefly played a Sensi at a store, but I recall it having a set neck and slightly more heft on the neck profile. Wasn't too bad.
It's really strange watching someone playing and the notes you hear are not the ones their fingers are on. At first I was like "Damn fools have panned the guitars the wrong way", then I realised I had my headphones on backwards!
Juxtaposition, was that the word you were looking for around the 16:10 mark. I have a Flatroc on the way, here in the States. Pete, tell Reverend that you sold me on the Retroblast mini humbuckers.
Love these Guitars and an entertaining video as usual......my only gripe is watching 3 ads during the course of the video, bit much since your videos are essentially ads anyway......
Hey guys ! Can you make a review of the Fender Limited Edition American Professional Telecaster in White Blonde with Roasted Maple Neck I just bought one and i loooove it !!! Pleasse pleasse 🙏🙏🙏
Sound really nice I would have to swap the switch and make the Bass Contour the last one as would use the pickup switch way more than the bass contour which is a shame
On some Reverend models the bass contour knob is last, for example the Jetstream RB. You should check their website, they got nearly every configuration you can think of.
Reverend is the unheralded sleeping giant of guitars. Quality second to nobody and value so good your head will explode.

@Karsyn Braydon Instablaster =)
Amazing sounds from both guitars on that jam at 25 minutes. That was outstanding.
More Reverend reviews please!
Lee's playing is so good nowadays. He has improved a lot.
I mean when 90% of your day is playing dozens of different 5-150 thousand dollar guitars, you better improve. Lol
jordan secrist cmon gear matters but not that much
Right. Lot's of playing and Danish Pete and Chappers who might give some hints...
Yeah he's getting rock-steady for sure. I think Pete has been tutoring him a bit
If only 90% of my day was spent playing!! The videos are great fun, but there’s lots more to do at Andertons than just that! 👍👍🤘
I own two Reverends. Damn fine instruments. If youre on the fence just do it.
That first guitar Pete played with The Dane had some of the best guitar tones I've ever heard. Yow.
I wonder how the scale length, headstock and Bigsby made it sound so different to the Flatroc?
I had my mind set on another model, that video probably sold me on the Contender RB too, straight up, that’s like the most perfect, midrange mini bucker growl ever.. I’m a bolt on neck,tele,Flatroc guy too exclusively.. I’m sold
Just saw this post finally. I’ve got a Flatroc and love it. Superior build quality, great feel, stays in tune forever with the locking tuners, and nice unique tone!
If I'd seen this post when it came out, I'd have saved some serious coin! About to be rectified, my Flatroc should arrive tomorrow.
What is the neck profile like
Slim or fat
@@davidjohnston4345 I forget the exact radius, but a touch on the slim side rather than fat I believe. Plays like butter regardless.
I've been playing a Reverend since '09. Still my go-to.
"On the Waterfront". Decades before Rocky or Raging Bull
And it was Marlon Brando... These guys were WAY off! lol
Actually LaMotta does quote On The Waterfront in Raging Bull at the end of the film.
Bought my first Reverend in 1998 and I still play them. Tone is second to none.
Love these guitars.Pete looks so happy playing these. Awesome job
This is blowing my mind! First time I’ve ever heard any lower frequency tones on an Anderton’s demo! Lol, they seem to eq both the guitars themselves and the recorded audio without much low end and this is SO much nicer sounding! Some low end yayyyhh!!
Yeah, that bass roll off for gain sounds is a great feature on a guitar. It's what half of us use EQ pedals for, more or less...
Appreciate the Reverend recognition. Fun video. Lots to like about Reverend guitars, especially the consistently excellent set up, right out of the box.
By the way, the Club King starts as a solid Korina block, with a hollow carve, and a solid spruce top. Hollow on the bass side and under the pick guard.
Great to see & hear how Lee's playing develloped over the years
If a coil split is all or nothing, the bass contour is everything in between. Love it!
That green Flatrock sounds just awesome.
When you're talking about the headstock to body shape difference it's juxtaposition you're looking for, Lee.
I have 2 Reverend guitars--The Jenn Wasner Charger HB, and a Silverburst Volcano RA. What I really love about Reverend guitars is the tonal variety I get with the treble-bleed, which all Reverend guitars have, and the bass contour knob.
Smartest innovation since locking tuners..it’s amazing.. I wish every guitar I own had it.
Are the necks slim or fat on reverend guitars
The mini-pups and the wiring configurations is fabulous. Best guitar I've heard in a long time, sans' Dane.
Damn, those sounded totally amazing. You guys and Reverend are gonna have me eating cup of soup for a few years.
I was surprised that the talnico bridge pu on the buckshot sounded so similar to the retroblast on the Flatroc, those guitars sound so similar!
I have to admit. I’m usually against buying brands I don’t know, but that white flatroc is pretty nice.
The emerald green Flatrock looks and sounds and sounds amazing. Not only do we get to see some really nice guitars, but we also get the benefit of learning those incredibly cool "expensive" barre chords from Pete that sound awesome !!!
That Metallic Emerald finish is sick
No joke that QVC moment got me sold.
I got my (left handed) Double Agent from you guys, and man, that guitar is a real game changer of a workhorse!
Is the neck profile slim or fat?
That red Buckshot with the binding looks great, sounds great, and is nicely priced.
The headstock and body "complement " each other. 😊
I will never, ever understand how there are people out there in the land of the interweb that dislike these videos. cracking once again
I recently bought Reverend Reeves Gabrels for my birthday. Amazing guitar so versatile i can change tonal characteristic of the guitar immidately.
Those are honestly gorgeous sounding!
Yes, Lee continues to get better!
That was a righteous intro jam! Very interested in that rock orange contender
My favourite guitar brand!
Thanks guys.... good to hear the new Reverend range. Hope you can do the 290 when it comes in. I’ve bought the Contender 290 off You.
I have a Pete Anderson p90 and simply love it. My fave over most others I have owned
That Flatroc sell chords sold me this one! Nice one! Will buy one with bigsby…
Wow, the best Reverends yet? I'd like to think so! Great looks and sounds.
It was "On the Waterfront" and that line from that movie, was re-quoted in "Raging Bull" by De Niro's character.
Awesome guys, playing awesome guitars. What else could we ask for?? Thank you Pete and Captain :)
Epic jam. You guys are hardwired and dig deep all the time. Thanks for playing!

The RUclips "GAS" confusion effect. I seem to have gotten myself into a Rut where I have so much "GEAR" I'm just confused.
"Probably" why I for years and still do reach for my Taylor . Good news front. Landed a 12 Martin When they Zig, I ZAG. But really want to become a better Electric player in 2020. I'm just geared out. Two whole setups. One pure digital. One mostly analog. Both have their flavors. Neither is unique to me. Whereas I pickup my Taylor it's me, every time. Have a fantastic Summer.

On the Play Off Captain Got That One I Believe 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
Great tones , though the older 15th Anniversary Flatroc in gold or silvet sparkle with the Revtron pickups and Bigsby is awsome .
Beautiful guitars and a gorgeous sound they all produce. They are close to the tone I would like to create. I am very impressed especially with the Clubking and the Flatroc.
I own two flatrocs, I ignore all my other guitars now..all collect dust, I pick up one tele and an acoustic occasionally, but I ignore an entire rack of 11 really nice guitars..ever since I got my first flatroc,now I’m looking at my third Reverend.
Hearing "I'm Pete!" I expected to hear 'and I'm mick' not the captain 😂
Those where the days! Guitar paradiso, hey, hey..?
Great guitars and Pete's playing always inspiring, thanx danish boy!
Gretsch had a SuperAxe model in the 80's … looked a lot like this. You may remember Rick Springfield sporting one in a few pictures...
What I've seen of reverend has certainly piqued my interest. Will you be covering their basses for us fat-strings?
Love the look of these guitars. Suprisingly the mini humbucker version stood out as my favourite
The chops and tone were top notch.
Love Reverend Guitars, just wish they made MORE models in Left Handed Versions!!
This just reinforced my opinion that the Reverend FLATROC
is the most raw, growling,grainy, grinding, most badass, most versatile sounding guitar since the telecaster
Hey it’s Kevin!
Amen. I have one and love it. And don't forget that it also does beautiful clean, melodic, and even jazzy stuff.
@@travisjohnson7065 My Flatroc should arrive tomorrow. I've been Jonesing for this guitar ever since I watched this video. The sounds/tones are just phenomenal!
@@pinkiewerewolf Awesome, I'm sure you'll love it. Going with the Bigsby version (I think they're new) or the hardtail?
@@travisjohnson7065 I’m excited to get it. I found a hard tail model at Wildwood Guitars.
I 💜 when purple rain shows up in a solo Pete!!💜💜💜💜
I love when the captain plays straight blues. I really do not think he knows just how damn good he is! Seriously!!!
I like Reverend as a brand. I've never seen them in my area, but I'd love to try one.
Look at a pic of a 70s Gretsch Super Axe. These have that vibe.
My Flatroc has a Bigsby!!!
Personally, I come here to list the Jams by Danish Pete and the Captain first and then marvel at some of the guitars.
The Contender reminds me of the Gretsch Super Axe. One of these days, I'll have to add a Reverend to the collection.
Paul Von Tyrant never thought of that, good catch..like an offset Les Paul
Lee's face 2:25 getting in some very Steven "Little Steve" Van Zandt action happening
26:00 Holy Fu>K Lee... very nice
Pete's "expensive chords" on the Club King reminded me a lot of Killer of Giants from Ozzy's Ultimate Sin album... love it...
As if I wasn't already sold on Reverend Guitars!
That intro.. 😂, just watched the video past night time!
I never would have thought Pete would find the reach around so taxing!
“Could have been a contender” is of course the mighty Mark of Cain.
TMOC frikkin legends !!
Saw them live last year in their (and my) hometown of Adelaide - Battlesick album revisited. Still mighty, but this time my ears didn’t bleed.....
David Burne if you mean the Gov shows I was there and they killed it.
Great review' first black one form' ...kudos with 'Spirit of the radio' RIP Neil.
Great show guys, very tempting.

Reverend is massively underrated IMHO
These guitars sound great but looks like Frankensteins with parts of different guitars.
They really did sound great tho... Not the prettiest but
I like the sensei shape best. It’s like an offset sg.
the Billy Corgan signature reverend is definitley a Frankenstein's Monster looking guitar
Those tele plates bug me
@@calebthompson550 I've only briefly played a Sensi at a store, but I recall it having a set neck and slightly more heft on the neck profile. Wasn't too bad.
Reverend is headquartered in Toledo Ohio Midwest great guitars
Captain, it was indeed 307 in the morning that I am watching this.
Lee is improving every week with his melodies.
It's really strange watching someone playing and the notes you hear are not the ones their fingers are on.
At first I was like "Damn fools have panned the guitars the wrong way", then I realised I had my headphones on backwards!
The rhythms from that contender RB are near perfect, right between Gibson fat and jangly gretsch.. this video alone convinced me to try one.
The very Contender line was said in On The Waterfront and in Raging Bull.
Juxtaposition, was that the word you were looking for around the 16:10 mark.
I have a Flatroc on the way, here in the States.
Pete, tell Reverend that you sold me on the Retroblast mini humbuckers.

Always love the videos, this one was extra fun. The little chord lesson in there was a special treat! Thanks for the great content!
Great sounding pickups
That Contender sounds great and looks great, but that switch placement would drive me crazy.
Hey guys ! Can you make a review of the Fender Limited Edition American Professional Telecaster in White Blonde with Roasted Maple Neck
I just bought one and i loooove it !!! Pleasse pleasse 🙏🙏🙏
Monster licks there Captain 🤘🤘🤘
I want the Jan Cyrka tone
Captain is on fire today 🔥
Does he have to be reminded all the time he's improving.
Really, it’s everywhere..that’s like saying,”he used to suck, now he’s decent”
At 16:25, the word you're looking for is paradox.
i got a Reverend Six Gun from you guys and i tell you what, those roasted maple pickups are STUNNING
Roasted pick ups? I bet they're a bit hot!
They sound superb
Sound really nice I would have to swap the switch and make the Bass Contour the last one as would use the pickup switch way more than the bass contour which is a shame
On some Reverend models the bass contour knob is last, for example the Jetstream RB. You should check their website, they got nearly every configuration you can think of.
