      So if Rob likes a guitar he is a sell out that is just trying to sell guitars, but if he points out the stupid fake F hole he's a jerk for being honest. How many of you are going to buy that guitar? No one because it silly looking.

  • @andrewmarinkovich8657
    @andrewmarinkovich8657 6 лет назад +18

    Not their best effort on this vid. Rob seemed irked and Lee was caught a bit off-guard by it and trying to steer things back to the positive. Came across like neither was really feeling these guitars, which is a shame. As an owner of a Reverend Double Agent I can tell you I play it more than I do my PRS Custom 22, my Gibson SG, and my Strat. It's a really fun and unique guitar that feels great in the hand (and it looks cool as well). Definitely check out Reverend!

  • @form_52
    @form_52 6 лет назад +19

    Sorry Rob, but that's not Nashville tuning.
    Nashville is still standard E tuning but the lowest four strings are super light gauge and tuned up an octave while the highest, B and E, are still normal gauge and octave.

  • @craigshipley666
    @craigshipley666 6 лет назад +17

    At this point, with Rob having built his guitar brand to it's current level, it's hard to imagine his reviews of other brands have any real objectivity.

  • @claytonduguay9617
    @claytonduguay9617 6 лет назад +78

    Rob's just jealous because Reverend actually has somewhat original looks and interesting twists like the rail-hammer pickups and the bass knob, while Chapmans are just rehashing other brands with fancy paint jobs.

  • @ClemensWennersMusic
    @ClemensWennersMusic 6 лет назад +90

    That tuning is not called Nashville tuning though.. Nashville tuning is all the strings you'd add to a 12 string guitar. So the lowest 4 strings are up one octave. Perfect for doubling in the studio!

      @tommystratpaul 5 лет назад +1

      Yeah it felt off. Amazing guitars and it doesn't even seem like he was trying to be respectful of Cap. Cap actually seems visually annoyed this episode, but hiding it well. The lack of jams longer than 20 seconds, never mind that they all ended in some Rob ego-solo, speaks volumes of the lack of connection between the two. As Cap said, Rob is flying in jet-lagged and weird, and for him it's a Monday. Low key, but effective.

      I prefer Reverend it may just be my opinion, I own a Buckshot, and a Sensei RA, and they are killer guitars. I recently bought a couple Ernie Ball Music Man guitars though, and they have the best neck I have ever played though, and I just have to let everyone know how great they are, but Reverend is a close second.

    • @mrc2662
      @mrc2662 6 лет назад

      William Olsen what EBMM did you buy mate? I’m very tempted. I love my guitars and am fortunate to have the usual suspects (plus an awesome Suhr telebird and Patrick Eggle’s Macon- check him out ). But a JP15 makes me salivate.

    • @williamolsen20
      @williamolsen20 6 лет назад

      I acquired a StingRay, and I loved it so much I then bought a Cutlass. I have never felt at home on a neck like on a EBMM, so I am sold on these. I will admit the Cutlass is it's own beast so don't go thinking it will replace a strat, but it still sounds and plays great, but the subtle differences are there and I can tell the difference, but I have both, and I like them for different reasons tonally. Maybe a Suhr someday.

    • @mrc2662
      @mrc2662 6 лет назад

      William Olsen sounds like I should check them out. I’m interested in something different. I wanted to like the Duesenberg Paloma but didn’t gel with it. I’ve heard nothing but good things about ebmm

    • @williamolsen20
      @williamolsen20 6 лет назад

      I think they play really well, it has a compensated nut, and nice stainless steel frets which I think makes the neck more comfortable. The trem on them is very smooth too, and stays in tune very well, and they obviously have locking tuners. Considering the care they put into the guitar the price is not that outrageous. I lucked out and found them used, but they were brand new as far as I am concerned.

  • @41DegreesSouth
    @41DegreesSouth 6 лет назад +39

    Picked up a Billy Corgan model one day, and I have never been able to bring myself to put it down since.
    I've enjoyed Fender and Gibson; I still think they're great brands. For whatever reason, I found 'the one' in my Reverend.
    If you're on the search for your soulmate guitar and you've looked in all the usual places, check out Reverend.
    Side note: I emailed Reverend once with a question about rosewood, and who replied? Ken bloody Haas. That's like emailing PRS and having Paul get back to you.

      You should call reverend's customer support. I did, asking if there was a roasted maple neck on the flamed orange double agent og 25th anniversary model like there is on the blue coloured one.There isn't, but firstly the dude at reverend put me through to the closest distributor to me (merchant city music in glasgow) and also contacted me a few days later and said they had a blue one at their factory and they would be happy to take the neck off it and put it on the orange body for me and ship it on their next order to the store, without me asking for this. They are such nice people. It might be worth giving them a ring and ya might just get your guitar :)

    Wow. Normally like Andertons, but...
    1) Reverend kick Chapmans’ guitars asses, thus the Chapitude.
    2) Missed the point of the Terz. Secret weapon. Stack it with a standard tuned guitar. Scalegivesyou better intonation resulting in fat clean tones.
    3) Totally glossed over the best electric gig ready 12 on the market, The Airwave
    4) Seem to miss the fact that Reverend are the only manufacturer I know of that make a line that affordable, gig ready, AND regularly take design chance to push the instrument forward.

    • @mojobonbon

      i can afford a chapman guitar easily. the reverend guitars are substantially higher. i played a couple of chapman guitars, and i did like them. i have not played a reverend, but since they are over twice the price i would have paid for a chapman, i would expect them to be "better"
      just sayin'

    • @deanmass
      @deanmass 6 лет назад

      mojo something Totally valid point. I thought Chapman had several stratifications of their models though? In this review, they (Rob more-so) seemed stuck on a couple things, and missed a chance to dig deeper. I’m sure after doing all the reviews they do it wears down at some point, but the Terz and the Airwave are worth more than passing look. Anyway, just my opinion, which are some are on the intertubes :)

    • @elaguajdo
      @elaguajdo 6 лет назад +1

      Rob is getting a bit of a beating in the comments for this (including from me, quite frankly), but The Captain called the Airwave the "Air 12.," and that's not exactly doing his due diligence either. I mean, he DOES sell them, correct, lol? Heck, it's even written "Air 12" in the gear descripton. I actually went to the Reverend web site to see if I had missed a new guitar coming out.

      @thisguy2973 3 года назад

      @@mojobonbon the most expensive Reverend is about $1699. On average, their guitars can be had in the same range as a Chapman guitar with better quality control. Unless you’re PRS, being a small time guy like Chappers or Ola Englund just can’t afford the same caliber of overseas quality.

  • @invsibl_monstrs
    @invsibl_monstrs 6 лет назад +7

    Hi Guys! I think you both missed a couple of important points on the Reverend guitars. My son and I each own one. My son has a Sensei and I have a Double Agent OG. First, the build quality on these guitars is excellent. We bought ours at Wildwood as we are lucky enough to live nearby those cool cats! My son was looking at an SG... and while each guitar sounded great and very different from each other, the Reverend was nearly half the price and was far better made! Second, the bass roll off control is very useful. If you have a bass heavy amp like a Hot Rod Deluxe or if you are on the neck pickup, you can use the control to clean up any woofiness and cut through a lot better. Even more importantly, for those who use fuzz, being able to control the amount of bass hitting a fuzz circuit can drastically alter the response and it's a hell of lot more convenient than using an eq pedal in front. No disrespect, but let Pete have one for a couple of weeks and then have him do a video. I do wish they offered a smaller / rounder fret board radius, but that is my only wish. All the best.

    • @elaguajdo
      @elaguajdo 6 лет назад +1

      It indeed was a weird vibe. I think it would've been nice if the Guitar Paradiso guys had reviewed these. Heck, those guys basically played me into buying my Reverend two years ago, without me even playing it (and I've not for one day regretted it) and really have a great chemistry, no matter which pair is playing. The usual Captain and Chappers chemistry is sorely lacking here.

  • @thedondeluxe6941
    @thedondeluxe6941 6 лет назад +5

    I own a Reverend Reeves Gabrels Spacehawk, and it's by far the best value guitar I have ever come across. It sounds like it might as well cost three times as much, and the build quality (and quality control) is on par with American Fenders or even better. Makes you wonder why certain brands in the same price range can't get their QC right... I'm looking at you, Rob!

My only criticism is that they have such a huge range that we don't get to see all of them in person here in the UK. I think Andertons (and others) can order them in but it's not as easy as picking one off the rack and giving it a go. Their purple Sensei is gorgeous.

      Even in something as simple as the headstock. There are so many alternate takes on the strat headstock, but I feel Reverend really nailed it. Different but familiar and interesting all at the same time.
      My old band had two songs capoed at the 4th fret (tuned down a 1/2 step). Sounds like the Terz was designed for us, lol.

      Cool as funk guitars with echoes of wacky 60's Japanese space-age dreck sticks that had vibe forever. The Reverend build quality is great, the looks are familiar and funky and the bass roll-off control is a secret gain weapon of destruction.

      @cullenjames7542 6 лет назад

      @xWILZTAx You may prefer a Revstar, but, having played them both, I prefer the Sensei. Also, the Sensei, at least the model I bought, comes with an ebony fretboard which I much prefer to rosewood, and block inlays which I prefer over dots. I haven't played the Revstar with P-90s, and I admit that's a tempting guitar.

    • @williamolsen20

    Wished I hadn't watched this, Robs jetlag is affecting his ability to be objective. Shredding on a Corgan and then complaining about the heal joint was just infantile when that is obviously not the guitars purpose. I'm not even a fan of Reverends, but geez, that was horrible. Let Rob sleep or don't do any more videos while he's jetlagged, they won't go well as shown.

    • @Medicated1

      and I want to also say, that was NOT to disrespect Rob, he's had his candles burning at both ends for a long time, and I think it's really hurting him, physically and mentally.. you can only stretch yourself so long and so thin, until you have a meltdown.. I think he's an amazing musician and seems like a pretty awesome individual. He seemed genuinely ticked off when Lee did that phone bit. That's uncharacteristic of Rob, he can usually deliver and receive jokes very well.

      I wouldn't say idiots, but I certainly wasn't feeling like they were very unbiased opinions. What do you expect from a pair that brand their own design guitars? Should Paul Reed Smith sit there and review Gibson and Fenders? If the critique is unfavorable, you'll always look like your biased to your own brand. However, shouldn't you be perhaps since you sell guitars with your name on them? Once you have a vested interest in your own brand, should you really be reviewing guitars for the general public any more? Just a thought.

    It might have some quirks but it seems to produce a really hearty warm tone, especially that Dirtbike. I'm not entire sure whether to credit the body construction or the Railhammer humbucker design. I also think it's cool that this brand seems to be offer guitars using different pickup combinations - Railhammers, P-90s, straight single-coil, etc.
    It seems strange for Rob sale's pitch to include so much criticism given his buddy Lee is trying to sell these instruments in his store.

You could just see the reluctance Rob had to like these guitars. I dont see that when he talks about his stuff of course.

    • @elaguajdo
      @elaguajdo 6 лет назад

      Rob's not required to love everything, but if they're going to do reviews, Rob could, at the least, learn a little bit about what he's reviewing. I like "out of the box" reviews as much as the next guy, but the F holes on the Airsonic are clearly explained on just about everything Reverend puts out about them, and it'd take either him or the Captain (who clearly didn't know what they were for either) about 20 seconds to read up about 'em. Call 'em ugly after, if you'd like, but at least know a little about them.

      Good point. I'm not ragging on him. At least, let me clarify, his reviews are entertaining and he seems like a great person. My point is separate and albeit academic regarding conflict of interest. But I see what you mean, would I claim the same if his comments were glowing, positive.

    • @martindodd6045

      Since Andertons is a shop and their business is to sell guitars I never really take their reviews seriously. I watch them for a overview of new products and to enjoy some banter between the presenters. I don't think chappers or the captain would ever do a proper critical review.

    I have a Reverend Double Agent OG and love it. They do make quite nice guitars for the price. I enjoyed the video. But one of the reasons I watched was to hear opinions on the Blackwood Tek fingerboard on the Dirt Bike. I believe Reverend has gone exclusively to Blackwood from Rosewood and I'm looking at a couple of guitars, same model, one recent with Blackwood, one I believe from last year with Rosewood, and would like some opinions. Any thoughts guys?

    So, Rob found 2 things that he didn't like (I disagree with him about the "f" holes, but agree regarding the heel joint), but liked pretty well everything else about these guitars and he's supposedly nitpicking and being a jerk. Or, at least, that's the way the comments seem to indicate. Of course, if everything he says is rosy and positive then he has no real opinions. Regarding the guitars, I like what I've seen of Reverend, and the ones I've tried certainly had a unique feel to them. Perhaps I'll find one yet that I feel the need to own.

I have steam coming out of my ears on the twelve string moment man. I get if it’s not how you would want to play a guitar but isn’t the point of the video to showcase what a guitar can really do? Why are you bottlenecking a guitar’s qualities by trying to make everything suit your niche desire? I was excited to watch this video and see “innovative new designs” but I feel like I really didn’t get a grasp of what these guitars are about. Props to Lee for trying though
