Here is a Reverend USA Avenger TL with a Hipshot tremolo bridge (it is actually a vibrato bridge, changing pitch, but everyone calls them trems since the early days of electric guitar). The Hipshot trem arm is not threaded so it just slides in, very nice.
It is in a two Strat and one Tele pickup configuration like a "Nashville Tele". It has Spertzel locking tuners and they hold tune wonderfully.
There is a "studio switch" on the guitar that when switched up has the neck pickup always on so you can get the combination of neck and bridge pickups or all three at once as well as the traditional Strat combinations. I particularly dig the bridge/neck combo, very mellow. I'm having regrets about selling this from plugging it in to make this listing, but too many guitars and too little money demands some sacrifice.
The neck is the fabled Eastpointe neck favored by many Reverend aficionados.
USA Reverends are unique instruments based on the old Danelectro build but it’s actually an updated version of Danelectro’s semi- hollow design. However, while Dano stapled Masonite to a poplar frame, Reverend glues a thin phenolic laminate skin onto an injection-molded, high- impact polymer outer rim. A 6"-wide, white-mahogany center block runs from the bridge to the endpin, and a sustain-enhancing steel bar lays adjacent to the bass side of the block. Reverend’s quick-to-build body design cuts costs and results in a lightweight, resonant structure that offers bell-like sustain. Also, as the scuff- resistant phenolic-skinned body requires no finish, the labor- intensive painting process is eliminated. with much higher quality and design specs.
Here's the info on Reverend's now discontinued USA guitars from their website:
"Are the USA instruments plastic?
No. In fact, the body and neck together total about 90% wood. The body outer rim is plastic (injection molded high impact polymer), the top and back are phenolic laminate made from wood fibers and resin, and the 6 inch wide center block is white mahogany. "
I used this guitar as my gigging guitar for a while and it handled a wide variety of styles very well. Don't worry I wasn't dragging it to bars 6 nights a week and using it to fight off drunks. I played it out maybe six times (we gig maybe once a month) in fairly polite venues I have treated it well.
This is a fantastic sounding instrument that plays wonderfully. I included a picture of the frets so that the very slight wear is visible. There is no issue with the playability or intonation. The frets will last you for years.
The auction is for the guitar (and trem bar) only.. If you want a Reverend two tone Teardrop case I will add it on at auction's end for $125.00. Shipping is free (cont USA only). I listed FedEx as the shipping, but I may use another carrier if it is more economical. Either way shipping is free to you.
