I love anything that is SG shaped / inspired. Yamaha, Reverend, etc I would love to own one. the only thing that makes me go back to my Gibson SG is how light and thin it is and my shoulders doesn’t complain
Great video. I bought a Reverend Contender 290 within the past year and absolutely fell in love with it. Korina body and neck came in just under 7 lbs. Just bought a Sensei and can’t wait to play it. The pickups sound very versatile. Reverend makes good guitars for sure.
Oui ce sont de superbes et super guitares, j'en possède une sendei ra purple burst depuis plus de 5 ans et je ne regrette pas. Révérend est une marque qui n'a pas la reconnaissance qu'elle mérite, la fabrication est digne de très bonnes guitares américaines.
The double cutaway’s single most important feature is for playing slide. I have the exact guitar you’re playing and in fact I bought mine on EBAY and it’s a prototype! Labeled as such.
I like demos using a little less distortion! 2 reasons: 1- straight into an amp (tube is my preference) is the most honest sound of the guitar. 2- everyone uses a different distortion set up, pedal etc. I like clean. I want to hear what the guitar would sound like if say Tommy Tedesco was playing it not just EVH! And as soon as I typed this you went to a clean sound! TY!!!
I agree, too much distortion doesn't do the instrument right. To me, under distortion, every guitar sounds the same, it's just a sound porredge and it nerves my ears.
Great review, thinking seriously about picking one up. Does it feel a little small, I think the scale is a little less than 25.5. I’m a fairly tall person, might take some getting used to
I have not played an sg for many years. I have an s 100 that ive had forever but that neck is smaller than an sg. I have a lp special with a "rounded neck" and it feels bulkier than my nylon string. Id love to try one of thise
Thanks for sharing! I haven't played an S100 and it's been some time since touching an LP special. But anyway, Reverends are nice so if you ever come across one give it a play 🙂
Great video. I was between a few options (I was kind of thinking about the Kim Thayil Guild Polara) after deciding that I hated the Floyd Rose and actives on the GH-600 and feeling like the Billy Corgan Z-One felt way too much like a Strat, but I just got the Reverend Sensei RA in silverburst last night. Your video and playing makes me feel good about the choice.
I take that intro personally. You've done gone and done it now! lol Forreal, though...this looks slick and sounds great! I need to check out a Reverend if I can ever get my hands on one., I'm totally unfamiliar with that brand.
@@ArtOfShredYT well in true youtube comment fashion, I got offended and didn't make it that far! U suck! I did actually make it that far and rather enjoyed the whole vidya as per usual. 😂
I own 5 Reverend guitars and 1 Reverend bass. I own guitars that are much more expensive than the Reverends, but the Reverends consistently blow me away. The Sensei has been next on my list for some time; your video only made the craving worse!
When you use a guitar strap with this guitar does it hang super low so you have to hold it up or does it stay up on its own?? Edit, I just saw you demonstrate what I was talking about lol
Been wanting a guitar to get the vibes from Adam Jones from Tool. He uses a Gibson Les Paul and I can't afford it. On the other hand, Reverend is more affordable. That said, in Reverend's spectrum, would you advise to get this model or the Roadhouse? Cheers!
Great question. I've actually never played a Roundhouse and it has quite a few differences from this Sensei, but I'm pretty confident you could get the tones you're looking for with either one. Another thing you might think about is getting one of the higher end Epiphone Les Pauls which are also nice. (I've only played them at the store and I haven't done a full review of one yet, but I like them!)
@@ArtOfShredYT Thanks so much for the info! I Funny you mention that, I was just looking at the Epiphone collection. I will go try one at the store for sure!
@@Brungemunchi Nice, yeah, try one of the regular Standard Les Pauls and then if they have them go up from there and try the more expensive ones. They're all pretty nice!
J'ai acheté la mienne en couleur purple burst en novembre 2017 et franchement je ne regrette absolument pas. Elle est assez polyvalente mais demande surtout à rentre dedans. Elle envoie vraiment la patate avec le basse contrôle. Pour le hard core et le metal elle est vraiment parfaite. Par contre le vernis est assez fragile, seul bémol avec l'absence de flycase. Pour 1069 euros en 2017
Yeah I'd been wanting to pick one up used locally for a while but they're few and far between like that. Great company though. Their UA-cam channel is sweet as well
I want to review Godin, Sire (again, after my failed review) and Harley Benton. Have never touched a Harley Benton yet, but I have heard good things. Even though HB are "cheap" (not really after accounting for shipping cost) their resale value is not good so I'm holding off on reviewing one until I can find one used locally or they send me one.
yeah you got my upset brother but NOTHING will ever replace nor outdate my eternal love for my Black Gibson SG NOTHING!!!! XD but hey with that nonsense said, this is serious a very METAL and beautiful guitar my kind of Guitar and it does makes me think of my Black Double cut Les paul 🖤 man still trying to get me the Transparent Black Firefly SG
Had a 2010 Gibson SG Standard that I sold after a couple of years. Bought a Reverend Sensei with their standard humbuckers and to me it buries the SG in terms of build quality , tone and value.
I have a Gibson Bass. I will probably get a Reverend for my 6 when i get good and can afford one. If someone told me Gibson was better than Reverend, Id laugh. Depressing theyre made in Korea now. I wanted a US manufacturer. Guess i gotta pay 2g for a fender or gibson now.
Planes? At least you don't have trains. Luckily, I'm in a sound studio, so you can't hear them in here, because I'm 50 yards or so from a raised train track. Well, I gave you a few views and a sub. Would love it if you did the same for me (shameless plug over). I guess it's been long enough since you owned your SG that you forgot some very important differences that might have helped this video. One is the body carve. Some people don't like the sharp corners of the Reverend or the Yamaha, and the rounded edge is something the SG has abundantly. Because of this, the reverend has a little more weight on average. As far as the neck dive, that's a give and take with the weight of the body vs the neck and head stock. Some people weight the rear pin, some wear a leather strap (me), and others move the front pin to the points like Tony Iommi and the Reverend you're demo'ing here. Doesn't change the seated position, but one can always use the classical hold for stability seated. I would say the money saved on the Reverend goes to the lack of any kind of case or bag (SG comes with a bag or case, depending on the standard or '61 standard), Poly finish vs nitro (some people like poly better because it holds up and stays the same for years), and Korina hidden under the finish (aesthetic choice only) vs Mahogany under clear nitro (except the ebony models). One could argue that the locking tuners are an upgrade and certainly deserve mentioning. Which one to choose? That's up to the player. The necks feel completely different, and Gibson pickups v Railhammers are like night and day. All comes to user preference, that's for sure. I wouldn't argue "better", I would argue, "more suited to this player." You did well with the review.
Ha, I used to live near the trains and the planes, but moved just far enough away from the trains where you can only hear them when you're outside. Thanks so much for your detailed comment. Some of my commentary in this video was just to upset the diehard Gibson folks who leave comments on other brands (or cheap guitars) like "just buy a Gibson and be done with it." I love Gibson & SGs but not everybody can afford the brand name premium. And not everybody even wants a big brand name. Anyway, this Reverend is great (although I'm trying to sell it so I can buy and review a Tony Iommi Epiphone SG Special). They're obviously different guitars even though they have some similarities. The necks feel very similarly to me, but I know the shape is different. As for which to choose, you're definitely right it comes down to personal preference.
@@ArtOfShredYT I've been thinking about buying some of these budget guitars to compare with the guitars I have in my collection, but I don't know as it would pay off in the long run on my channel. You must lose some $$ in the transition between guitars, because there's just no real resale in the budget lines, so unless you have an extreme discount, breaking even might take some time. Now with the tax being levied on Reverb and Facebook, the sales are even less lucrative. My "day job" pays too much for me to dodge any of it legally. Every extra penny bites me in the rear at the end of the year. I know what you mean about die-hard fans. The dyed-in-the-wool Gibson/Fender/PRS/etc... fans are tough nuts. That's coming from a guy who has six Gibsons and four of them are Les Paul models. That doesn't count my Taylor, Fender, and Rickenbacker. In my whole collection, I have two overseas models: a PRS SE Silver Sky (Indonesia) and a Fender Aerodyne bass (Japan). That didn't happen overnight, that's for sure, but unlike most UA-cam wannabes, I don't have twenty-five budget guitars, I'm just a wannabe with a smaller collection of higher end models. What's funny is that a lot of these folks who collect IYV, Firefly, etc... wind up spending the same amount of money I would on a Gibson. There are people who are just as hard core against owning the big brands as there are those who own them, perhaps more. My attitude? Play what you love and inspires you to play. That's the best guitar, regardless of price tag. Don't put someone down for buying more expensive, less expensive, or a different brand. I get the feeling you have a similar philosophy. I did a series of four Les Paul guitar videos a long time ago, before I had an interface and better recording. I did a 1999 wine red Custom vs a 2016 gold top Tribute vs a 2001 PRS Singlecut (pre-lawsuit) vs an Epiphone Les Paul Custom. Spoiler - The Epiphone did not sound great. I asked my son who was living with me at the time what he thought in the room, and his conclusion was the same as mine, the Epiphone was not nearly as clear and the notes did not ring as articulately as the others. That said, if I was a bedroom player just jamming in my room, the Epiphone would sound just fine. And that's really what it comes down to. What works for the use case of the individual. All that said, I could never say with a straight face, "I would keep this Firefly over my Gibson ES 335" anymore than someone would say, "I would keep this Hyundai over my BMW." They both get you to work on time, have seats, burn fuel, and have all the amenities; but at the end of the day, no one is going to go, "Wow, nice Hyundai." LOL Even the guitarists are going to say, "Nice ES 335 mate." So I would have to dump all of these inexpensive guitars. I've only got so much wall space in my 11' x 11' studio! Shoot, even now, I'm working on hanging the 330/12 Rickenbacker and Gibson '61 Standard SG, which all costs money. Storage isn't free, guitars aren't free... I wonder how these channels do it. Some of my biggest viewed videos (I am also co-host of "The Practical Guitarist Podcast") are of guitars, amps, or little tips and tricks. I've currently got close to 350k views on a cover my band did of "Freebird". You never know what's going to be the catalyst for your channel.

@@jimwoodard64 It's definitely not profitable reviewing gear as a small channel. I've spent well over $10k on guitars and gear so far (and ultimately over $6k expenses after reselling gear). Almost every time I sell a guitar I lose money (I made exactly $17.13 on the FFLPS, but that's an anomaly) but it does help to fund other guitar reviews. I'm just taking a big chance that eventually things will work out. My goal, which I'm pretty transparent about, is to eventually get sent gear to review (so far I got the Indio Boardwalk which I posted the unboxing of, but review still incoming) so it doesn't cost me money to review gear and ultimately I want to be able to pay for gear with the money the channel makes so I can stop accepting free gear. Being independent and unbiased is most important to me. As for the Reverb tax thing. That's overblown. If you sell $1k worth of gear on Reverb and get a 1099-K tax form from them, but that gear cost you $1,200 ... well, I'm not a tax professional so that's where my advice ends.
