After watching this I'd be inclined to agree, but not my style. Maybe in a couple of years. Amazing tone tho. Kind of reminds me of the station wagon with the twin turbo.
theyre incredible. a must. probably the coolest electric guitars around, and the most unique. everything they make is a piece of art, and they feel so good.
Why are your videos so good? Rob, your humour sets you apart and your honesty puts you head and shoulders above the crowd. Long may you live and make videos for us.
I added a Reverend to my stable. She has 2 P90 style pickups and a fabulous neck. Beautiful in looks and sound from moment 1. A stunning blonde to boot. Lily.
I have a Reverend Sensei Jr. in korina with a single p90 style pickup and it is absolutely fabulous. Punches WAY above it's price range. Feels like I'm playing a guitar 3 or 4 times the price.
I have a Reverend and a Chapman. Love them both. Both have had more thought put into them than the must-have brands and I appreciate that. That gives them an edge in how they feel and play. Detox your must-have brand obsession and give them a go
Chappers’ look at 5:00 tells me all I need to know. Edited to add after finishing the whole video: I have a Reverend Sensi Jr. I have always loved Chapman’s sense of humor… sorry, humour (I’m a Yank). But this video alone has made me want to look for the right Chapman to compliment it. Well done Rob!
Years ago my daughter bought a Reverend Charger HB, and it surprised the hell out of me how amazing it felt and played. I’d never heard of the brand. I then discovered the Billy Corgan model, which was my first Reverend, and recently got the Drop Z Corgan. It is so sweet!!! Thick tone, tuned to drop C, same smooth playing fret board, 24 frets, and the scale length is only 3/4 of an inch longer so you really don’t even notice it. The pictures online don’t do it justice. I highly recommend trying one out should you get the chance. Awesome and fun video, new sub here 👍
Reverend are really cool guitars. I have the Reeves Gabrells that I bought second hand just because I liked the look. Now it's my favorite guitar and I am really thinking in buying a Eastsider Custom
I have regained some respect for Rob. Great humor! I always had respect for his hands, though. Beautiful music in every vid. So glad he made this video. I wanted so much to like you again. I am there.
Really neat bit of jazz playing there, it was fun! That guitar through that little amp sounded so much better than I expected it could. No way you could keep such a RED guitar around...send it my way, It deserves a home in the States.
Have a Reeves Gabrels Dirtbike, and I enjoy the railhammer pickup. It only has a bridge pickup, but with the controls, I can pull nearly every sound I need.
@@patricktracy1966 I have a crosscut with the clean cuts great pickups. I like the heavy 90 a bit more in my airsonic but they are all solid in their own ways.
Lol! good one. You and Ken are such good ambassadors for your respective brands. That 3rd knob is the Bass Contour knob. It does make a humbucker sound more like a single coil, but it isn't a tap or split. I have a Reverend Reeves Gabrels Dirtbike Royale, which is basically the Sensei with 2 MojoTone Quiet Coil P90 pups and a wrap tailpiece. Killer guitar. Cheers, Chappers!
I love Reverend instruments. I had the reverend triad bass and it could do damn near anything. But i downsized my collection in order to buy a spector euro. All in all, reverend kicks ASS
Excellent video!!! I own a number of major brand guitars, and I have to say my Flatroc is one of the smoothest , easiest playing, most versatile guitar I own. And.. I never expected that when I purchased it.
I LOVE Reverend guitars! That said, my first guitar was a Chapman and it’s so cool that the founder is a funny dude, like Ken. Loved this video and subscribed!
Thanks for the review . I think you did a good job showing us an awesome guitar. In about 2015/16 I was very lucky to win a BEAUTIFUL Reverend Tricky Gomez in three tone burst finish, thanks to a sweepstakes by Reverend, Sweetwater and Premier Guitar Magazine. It shipped all the way to South Africa, and I am proud to own the only Reverend Tricky Gomez in my country. (Reverend is not retailed in SA). It became even more precious to me when Reverend discontinued the model. I am still trying to decide whether Ken or yourself has the drier sense of humor. 😅😅😅
Thanks for the humor. It does look like a great guitar. I think that they could update the heel joint to be more modern with all of their set neck designs. Even Fender is finally making their bolt on necks more comfortable these days. Reverend should too.
I own a limited edition Sensei from Reverend, even have the tuxedo case. It is one of the best guitars I have ever owned and though I have not yet purchased a guitar from Chapman I'm sure it would be a very nice addition to my collection. Side Note: Reverend Guitars was started less than 2 miles from my house in the back room of Joe's Music.
Thank you so much for the straight-faced sarcasm 😅 Made my day. Reverends are awesome - I don't have one yet but some day I will. It is hard to pick just one from their extensive catalogue.
Like some dry toast and glass of air' to go with this Nevada dry humor_Lol' They say Tone is in the Fingers? Then yours are amazing' that's some of the greatest tones I've heard in like 'ever' from a dry hook up?! _ Beautiful Guitar! Brilliant Video Rob!🎼🎸🖖
I have 2 Reverend guitars! Charger HB in Violin brown, and Jetstream 390 in Korina Burst. I've love both of them and even acoustically the guitar resonates so well! The guitars are not too expensive either, and it sounds inspiring/versatile workhorse guitar for me.
I’ve been fortunate enough to work my butt off for the last 37 years. This also gave me the gift of buying and guitar I virtually wanted. I will not ever own a Kiesel guitar, a Chapman nor a reverend. I’ve been turned off of your guitars because of your attitude in the past. I want quality and I want something that will perform as well as something that will go up and value as well as I can pass down to my family when I die. I don’t like watching your videos, but I clicked on this one. I’ve spent 51 years being a humble man. This is something that I think you lack.
I think this went completely over your head. He is promoting it. They obviously are friends, and at the end of the video he mentions it and thanks them.
Missed opportunity: "There are four knobs, Ken is the fourth."
Best Comment
😆
😂 This comment wins. I’m not bothering now 😔
Best.Comment.Ever. 😊😅😂😂
Brill!! Lol
The demo using clean tones was the best I've heard Rob Chapman play. Now you know how I feel.
😂 NICE!
@@Pop_Hockenbush It's a joke. It's sarcasm all the way through. Woosh.
Rob's playing is usually generic metal shit......but i love his videos and personality and think he's a funny guy. Cheers Rob.
Reverend makes some of the best instruments in the business. Everyone needs to have at least one.
After watching this I'd be inclined to agree, but not my style. Maybe in a couple of years. Amazing tone tho. Kind of reminds me of the station wagon with the twin turbo.
Agree. Love them
theyre incredible. a must. probably the coolest electric guitars around, and the most unique. everything they make is a piece of art, and they feel so good.
This humor isn’t just dry, it’s completely dehydrated!
😂
If I didn't know better I'd say chappers was being a jerk-y.
I taste freezer burn in this comment.
Laughed all the way through. We know you wouldn't ever just slag off a rival company's gear. Lots of fun 😂😂🎸🎸🤘
The first passive aggressive guitar review in history. The start of a trend I'm sure
The Wampler-Scott feud in the pedal world will never be topped. What other feud has each party sending the other party angry bees in a box?
Maybe if you only watch this hack it is. 🤦
Because it's far from the 1st. Smdh. You Chapman nut huggers are a trip.
Why are your videos so good? Rob, your humour sets you apart and your honesty puts you head and shoulders above the crowd. Long may you live and make videos for us.
Appreciate this comment David ❤
Miss his hair
I stand by my comment regarding Ken‘s beard
Savage lol
😂😂😂😂
Said Beard wooed Billy Corgan though. 😉
@DevilsAvocado69😂
And his knob?
This is great, lol. You know me, who loves both you and Ken….hence why every show and recording is always a Chapman & reverend 😘
It’s fun to see Chappers having fun making a video. Can only imagine him laughing in the editing suite, good to see him happy and having fun.
"Siri, add some more gain" 😂❤
“Ok, Rob. Now playing Pink by Lizzo”
I added a Reverend to my stable. She has 2 P90 style pickups and a fabulous neck. Beautiful in looks and sound from moment 1. A stunning blonde to boot. Lily.
I have a Reverend Sensei Jr. in korina with a single p90 style pickup and it is absolutely fabulous. Punches WAY above it's price range. Feels like I'm playing a guitar 3 or 4 times the price.
This was glorious, I hope Ken got as big a kick out of it as some of us have.
This is an absolute masterclass in how to deliver a review for a rival guitar company who has sent you a gift. Just stellar!
And just like that, after months and months, Rob Chapman starts showing up in my data feed again. Welcome back!
PS I like the shirt.
I have a Reverend and a Chapman. Love them both. Both have had more thought put into them than the must-have brands and I appreciate that. That gives them an edge in how they feel and play. Detox your must-have brand obsession and give them a go
It took me an embarrassing amount of seconds to realize this was tongue in cheek
I was WTF'ing the entire way through until I saw this comment 😂
5 seconds for me
Chappers’ look at 5:00 tells me all I need to know.

Awesome and fun video, new sub here 👍
So funny mate! I play & love Reverend guitars & bass guitars!
been playing reverends for about 5 years now and i love them to bits
Reeves Gabrel is my only draw to the Rev brand - his playing and tone is unique and beautifully unhinged
Reverend are really cool guitars.
I have the Reeves Gabrells that I bought second hand just because I liked the look. Now it's my favorite guitar and I am really thinking in buying a Eastsider Custom
I have an Eastside S, it is VERY good.
@@brianmiller3287 yeah i know 😕
I never tried a bad Reverend !
Been on one Reverend or another for 15 years now….they’re just so fantastic
That shirt maker dared to dream 😂
GREAT VIDEO!! You DEFINITELY had me going for a few minutes. 😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome playing as per usual!
Wow it sounds amazing excellent playing Mr Chapman
Got a Jetstream 390 and love it. Feels/looks/sounds great and love the tremolo way more than the ones on strats
Rob you are such a lovely guy in a very difficult world right now. Thank you so much.
"Ken sent me", now that's a blast from the past 😂
This is the most reverend review of a reverend ive ever seen. Cheers Chappers!
I have regained some respect for Rob. Great humor! I always had respect for his hands, though. Beautiful music in every vid. So glad he made this video. I wanted so much to like you again. I am there.
This was so much fun... and your genre-crossing playing was so virtuosic! This was so very cool of you in so many ways.
This is truly the most sarcastic guitar review of all time 🤣
Looks like my favorite guitar atm, a Yahama Revstar, if it had a version with HSS and tremolo, that would be a smashing great lookig guitar imo
I was scrolling through to see if anyone else thought it looked like a revstar and here you are!
It’s been on the market a lot longer than the Revstars!
@@kevinmartin4634 glad to know, it looks amazing
@@kevinmartin4634 I just commented with the intention of someone seeing this comment (someone = Yamaha) and release a HSS version 😅
Nice guitar! This is the most musical I've ever heard Rob sound while playing guitar. Great tones as well. Love the sarcasm!
Really neat bit of jazz playing there, it was fun! That guitar through that little amp sounded so much better than I expected it could. No way you could keep such a RED guitar around...send it my way, It deserves a home in the States.
Oh man that was fun to watch on soo many levels!😂💪🏽
Now you know what to aspire to for putting out guitars. Congrats
Reminds me of the Yamaha SC 1200 Colin Hay plays in his band . Men at work 😊
🤣 Nice bit of fun with some wonderful playing Rob.
Absolutely love my Reverend Six Gun HPP.
Have a Reeves Gabrels Dirtbike, and I enjoy the railhammer pickup. It only has a bridge pickup, but with the controls, I can pull nearly every sound I need.
the Brits apparently also invented ultra dry sarcastic wit. Well done Chappers!
I have one of the original Reverend Reeves Gabrels guitars, Love it! The best sounding and playing guitar!
Lovely playing and guitar. I have had my eye on a Double Agent for a few years. The name alone means I have to have it.
You will not be disappointed. I'm 7 reverends deep now and love them all.
@@Enemy_Zero I have 10 Reverends, and just realized I don't have one with the cleancut pickups. I might have to go to 11.
@@patricktracy1966 I have a crosscut with the clean cuts great pickups. I like the heavy 90 a bit more in my airsonic but they are all solid in their own ways.
I have 2 Reverend guitars one a 12 string and I can’t complain they’re great guitars.❤. GREAT VIDEO 👍
Love the bass cut control on Reverend guitars. Ive never needed to cut the top end, but do like the idea of cleaning up a muddy bottom end 😁
Lol! good one. You and Ken are such good ambassadors for your respective brands. That 3rd knob is the Bass Contour knob. It does make a humbucker sound more like a single coil, but it isn't a tap or split.

That is rather lovely - so many original designs and variations these days but I love Reverend's vibe.
Love the Reverend Sensei, looking to get one in the next year
I love Reverend instruments. I had the reverend triad bass and it could do damn near anything. But i downsized my collection in order to buy a spector euro. All in all, reverend kicks ASS
The euro is worth it. 🎉
I have two Sensei’s!…my favorite guitars in my collection!
Awesome, you da man, Ken’s the man, Greg is mos def the man & reverend is my fav but I will be trying Chapman thanks to vids like this. Bravo!
Excellent video!!! I own a number of major brand guitars, and I have to say my Flatroc is one of the smoothest , easiest playing, most versatile guitar I own. And.. I never expected that when I purchased it.
Your abilities in comb. with that british humor is so sympathic love it, keep on rockin dude!
Absolutely love the Railhammer pickups I’ve a few reto fitted to other guitars.
I LOVE Reverend guitars! That said, my first guitar was a Chapman and it’s so cool that the founder is a funny dude, like Ken. Loved this video and subscribed!
Yeah Ken, and I'm still waiting for my signature Rev Volcano! lol I loved my Rev, someday , somehow I'll get another.
Great vid, didn’t think much of Reverend guitars before but now I’m more interested🤔
Rob Rob Rob , you are the best don't stop doing what you're doing sarcastic remarks totally and always welcome. Jim from midcoast Maine U S A .
Please send my regards to Maine!!
Hysterical!! Loved it - I may find room for one of those “rubbishy” Reverends…probably sell it in a week….or two…three, tops. 😂😂

I love this!!!!! Tongue in cheek exemplar.😊
that guitar shape is giving me major Yamaha Revstar vibes
Thanks for the humor. It does look like a great guitar.
I think that they could update the heel joint to be more modern with all of their set neck designs. Even Fender is finally making their bolt on necks more comfortable these days. Reverend should too.
So happy to see your sub count going back up ❤❤❤❤
I do appreciate the commitment to the bit. The whole way…right up to the end. Noice. Amazing tones in that thing too.

Wow! I'm glad you can give a fair review about everything.
It’s like an ES335 and an SG had an illegitimate offset love child. Love the body shape.
I find it appealing in a way to me that the SG just isn’t.
Love that shirt, Rob! Good to see you again. Cheers.
What a great video Rob. I’ve been watching your vids for years and years. Way to stay classy!
Thank you so much for the straight-faced sarcasm 😅 Made my day. Reverends are awesome - I don't have one yet but some day I will. It is hard to pick just one from their extensive catalogue.
I own a Buckshot. It’s the best guitar I’ve own. It plays amazing and sounds amazing. They’re great guitars and they got their start in my hometown.
This was brilliant! Thank you sir for that humorous review! Now I want a Reverend
Love Reverends! I have the Airsonic W and Charger HB. I want more!
Sarcasm meter reading: 105.9
Superb demo of a rocking guitar! your sense of humorv is very fun and very cool!
Rimmer - "Lister! is that a Reverend you're playing!!!"
Lister - "no.... it's a chicken"
not bad for comedian-enthusiast
always wanted one, this pups are monsters! reverend is actually the only brand, which i would get, because of the pups

I've love both of them and even acoustically the guitar resonates so well! The guitars are not too expensive either, and it sounds inspiring/versatile workhorse guitar for me.
I loooove that guitar sound
Original - and it works! You should do more sarcastic reviews
"Ken sent me"... God, I feel old remembering that! 😂😂😂
Great shirt!
Rob taking the best piss Ive heard in quite a while..
Fantastic review of a stunning guitar.
#KrankDaddies
Leonard, you need one of these now..haha
funniest review I saw in years! 😂 thx for that 🎉
Bow to your Sensei
hahahaha
Great video. I have a Airwave 12 that I love. Ill have to check out one of the Sensei guitars.
This whole video was super fun. Enjoyed every minute.
Quite generous of Ken, but he can never compete with gammon who had dreadlocks.
Love the shirt! I have a few like that…. Wear with disgust for the weather..
Reverend makes great guitars I've owned several and had the original sensi 290 in tobacco burst my recent favorite is the Reverend 6 gun III love it!
Fun video--and, dang, that guitar looks like the real thing! Thanks!
"Siri add some gain" ROFLMAO! I would love to see a reaction video from Ken to see how long it takes him to break out in laughter
Lord this thing is beautiful!
