That Led Zeppelin riff at 14:24 sold me on this guitar. Buying one from the Magic Flute in San Rafael up above San Francisco this weekend in satin blackkkkkkkkk.
That T model... my goodness. How am I only now learning of this guitar??? What an underrated, hidden gem. I don't own a lot of guitars but I might be owning just one more...
I’m interested in this chambered Tele but I’ve seen 3 versions so far!! One with reduced heel joint, one with a strat pickup in the middle and this one. Reverend site only shows this one. Do you guys have the 3 pickup version? OH, now wait a minute, maybe the Strat style actually has a Tele pickup in it. Now I want that one,lol.
Back in the fifties, Gibson introduced the Flying V, and the Explorer. Both were made from white limba, which for some reason Gibson referred to instead as Korina (maybe limba didn’t sound sexy enough). Black vs white limba: It’s simply the difference in grain pattern caused by mineral deposits.
I like some of the design decisions, such as locking tuners on every guitar. The bass contour knob, which is not on the guitars in this video, is also really useful.
I like the black S version but I saw a burst version with rosewood neck and the inlays were more brown clay looking I’d like to see a black version with rosewood and the darker inlays anyway I just ordered a sensei ra but one of these may be next
Should let Koch play an original made in U.S.A Reverend that sound absolutely stellar. Those are the collectable ones. And rare. The overseas Rev's are really sweet but its the phenolic topped hollow ones that Reverend freaks collect. Early 90's. Super resonant. Awesome pickups from the different models..which all used the same body. But wow those early Reverends had the mojo.
I wish Reverend provided a T-style with the 3 P-90's,(my favorite sound tone choices ever with those Jetstreams) and 12" radius. I'm not interested in signature guitars or getting that "chicken picken" tone. I love the Jetstreams but they dig into my leg when sitting down for a long time.
once they went on a wood tone trip, i had to stop watching. wood doesnt affect electrifed tone, and thank god it doesnt. my gibson les paul is mahogany and sounds nasally and crappy unplugged but its beautiful plugged in. that being said, korina is great body wood for electrics because as he said, korina is sturdy and lightweight.
Too many trained ears believe in tone wood for it to be a myth, my friend. That's why manufacturers offer different woods for body, necks, and fretboards. If it all sounded the same, every guitar would be made with the same wood
+dizzle49er People are gullible, conservative and can't think for themselves. Wood is organic and no two pieces are alike. Fooling yourself into thinking a certain type of wood will have a certain effect is just that, fooling yourself. I'm not saying that wood has no effect, but saying that you KNOW mahogany does this, and Korina does that is just ridiculous, because two pieces of wood, even from the same tree will be inherently different, and hence the properties will be different. Acoustic guitars is another matter though as they project their sound from the actual wood (although the same argument applies, no two pieces sound the same), and not pickups, electronics, 10ft of cable, a pedal board, another 10ft of cable, a pre-amp, an eq section (funnily enough used to shape the sound) an effects loop, a power-amp, and all of this going into a cabinet with speakers of which there are literally hundreds and hundreds of makes and models, that all sound different and have different frequency ranges and spikes... How heavily do you think the fretboard wood weighs in on that equation?
+Nikolaj Haun Hansen You can spew all your personal opinions about how "gullible", "conservative" and "foolish" it is believing in tonewood. I'll gladly stick with the majority of people, most of which are working musicians, producers, teachers, researchers and musicologists, who all are subscribers to the theory of tonewood. By definition, you're the one who's gullible, conservative, and foolish, being that you're among the minority
They might be subscribers to the theory, but have no evidence of their claims. Anecdotal evidence is NOT evidence. Not even ears and hearing are the same from one person to another, so we even hear things differently. Sound is a wonderful thing that you can measure and analyze, free of subjectivity, and people who have tried and tested the tonewood the tonewood claim (electric guitars) scientifically, have found no evidence for it to be true. Again, I'm not saying that wood has no say in the matter of how an electric guitar sounds, I'm saying that people who credit specific types of wood to have specific tonal abilities are kidding themselves, because they 1. Are talking about something where everything will be different from piece of wood to piece of wood, even if from the same species and tree, and 2. Have no evidence to their clam other than anecdotal, which is NOT evidence.
Why do these videos only come out once a year? these two combined are pure magic! I think you need more guest appearances from Ken Haas!
+Brian Nielson Yeah. I could listen to these guys talk forever.
A tip: watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies these days.
@Deacon Eric yup, I have been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :)
Yeah these guys are cool...

11:55 "You wanna have the slap and the tickle." 🤣

Now I need one of these....
Gregory Kochery... the damn finest reviews on the Net - bar none! Tasty playing and hillariously entertaining commentry. I love them!

I am going to buy a Reverend, I love light weight guitars and modern takes, also love Richlite.

"In this basement of broken dreams" LOL
The tone on this
Incredible really
1) Hilarious and informative as always. 2) I feel like I need to ship you snacks for our Colorado visits. 3) Seriously. More. Videos of you two
Brilliant!! Come for the slap, stay for the tickle....!

Dose that beautiful guitar have stainless steel frets🤟
What the korena stick reference refer to?
lol….did you do some lines of coffee grounds
I like the black S version but I saw a burst version with rosewood neck and the inlays were more brown clay looking I’d like to see a black version with rosewood and the darker inlays anyway I just ordered a sensei ra but one of these may be next
Just wish it had a pickups in series button in the other knob

I love my Korina stick beaters!!! Haha
I want one.
No forearm rest or tummy cut?
So they took Pete Andersons Tom Anderson Hollow T and made it out of Korina..??
T - Tobblerestoroborough, and S - Smith.... Am I right? Do I win? :)
+MarshallGTV I think you nailed it.
One hit for lunch next time children. Genius guitar knowers stoned don’t splain so good.
greg just kills me. especially when i'm really fucking stoned.
More powerful magnets with fewer windings is NOT a Reverend "trade secret". Leo Fender did this with G&L guitars since 1981.
and stronger magnets give a higher pitch, so these people claiming its the wood, is bullshit lol
"basement of broken dreams" ;)

ah yes.... "coffee"
The yellow dots..
I hope you’ll demo these again when you’re not stoned... and talk less and play more. 😄
THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!!!!!
Tone wood schmone wood; what ever...its all in the pickups and amp! cmon man! You're really showing yourselves to do really well! lol
To much talking

Tonewoods make a difference in all guitars. Pickups, neck heft, tight neck pockets, electrics... all a part of the tone system.
