Reverend Descent W Baritone Transparent White *Free Shipping in the US*

Get ready to throw down with this one – way down. An all-new baritone 
design with a 26-3/4″ scale neck that’s long enough to deliver
thunderous lows, yet short enough to play like a normal guitar. The best
of both worlds! Strategically positioned Railhammer Humcutter pickups
keep the tone tight, and our custom SIT 12-68 gauge string set
(available separately) features a plain 3rd for easy bending. Feeling
the itch for that baritone growl, but don’t want to feel like you’re
playing a bass? Then the Descent W is your ticket.

CUSTOM PICKUPS

We design our own proprietary custom pickups, to achieve the best tonal
match with our instruments. Reverend pickups are also specifically
designed for each position, for balanced volume and tone when
switching.

ROASTED MAPLE NECK

Roasted Maple is heat treated at over 300° F to remove sugars, moisture, and
impurities. This maple is lighter, more stable, and has a beautiful
caramel color. The result is an exceptional maple neck that will require
less seasonal adjustment, and boasts a rich vintage look!

KORINA BODY

Korina (aka White Limba) is a medium-light weight wood, highly prized for
consistency and tonal qualities. Often found in boutique and vintage
instruments, all Reverends feature Korina bodies. A highly resonant
wood, Korina is a key factor to producing our lively, responsive
instruments that are rich in harmonics.

BASS CONTOUR

This passive bass roll-off is great for tightening up the low end, or
re-voicing the pickups. It can make a humbucker sound like a
single-coil, or give a P-90 that classic twang. Variable pickup voicing
at your fingertips!

PIN-LOCK TUNERS

A thumbwheel under the tuner pushes a steel pin up through the post,
locking the string in place for exceptional tuning stability and
super-fast string changes.

INITIALED HEADSTOCK

Every Reverend is hand initialed and serial numbered on the back of the
headstock by one of our highly skilled technicians who sets up,
inspects, and tests every instrument.

WILKINSON WVS50 IIK TREMOLO

Features include saddles that lock to the baseplate, adjustable arm swing
tension, and a push-in/no freeplay arm. Combined with our boneite nut
and pin-lock tuners, it stays in tune even under aggressive whammy
action.

VARI-CLAW TREMOLO CLAW

This innovative claw gives you the option of 3 springs in the middle for a
firm tremolo feel, or 2 springs on the outside for a softer feel. The
offset hook design lets you switch between 3 or 2 springs, with little
or no cumbersome adjustment of the claw needed.

CUSTOM DOME KNOBS

Our proprietary knobs feature a lower profile which is less likely to be
accidentally hit by the player's hand, and the white dot lets you easily
see where your knob rotation is set.

BONEITE NUT

We use "Boneite," a synthetic bone nut, that is more consistent than
natural bone, on all Reverend instruments. It reduces friction, allowing
the strings to slide through the nut slots smoothly, improving tuning
stability.

TRIPLE-TREE STRING TREE

This patent-pending string tree has an extended bar to hold down three
strings at a time with just one tree, eliminating G string buzz in the
nut slot.

DUAL-ACTION TRUSS ROD

Our dual action rod adjusts in both directions, allowing back bow or
forward bow. This assures correct adjustment range is possible
regardless of string tension, extreme climate conditions, or the effects
of long term aging. It’s also located at the headstock for easy access.

SIX-BOLT NECK PLATE

Two extra bolts increase mounting pressure of the neck by fifty percent.
This makes a stronger neck connection, which improves sustain, tuning
stability, and neck alignment.

ANGLED NECK HEEL

All Reverend solidbody guitars in the Bolt-On series feature a low profile,
angled neck heel. This improves comfort and hand access when you’re
reaching for those high notes!

CUSTOM JACK PLATE

Our proprietary jack plate features four mounting screws, instead of two.
The extra screws prevent the plate from tearing out of the body. Made of
steel for durability, the laser etched logo adds an extra touch of
class!

PURE TONE JACK

All Reverends use an upgraded jack by Pure Tone Technologies. A standard
jack has single contacts, but the Pure Tone jack has dual contacts for
improved grip, audio signal and reliability. The most dependable guitar
jack available.

TREBLE BLEED CIRCUIT

All Reverend guitars have a treble bleed circuit, preserving the treble
when you roll back the volume control. When you roll back a standard
volume control, the tone loses treble and becomes dull sounding. Now you
can turn down and still sound great!

10% POTS

We use Alpha control pots with a +-10% rating. While a typical pot is
+-20%, our pots are built to tighter specifications, making them more
consistent. Typically used in expensive boutique guitars, but standard
issue in all Reverends.

10% POLY CAPS

We use caps with a +-10% rating, while a typical cap is +-20%. Our caps
are made to tighter specifications, so they’re more consistent. Made of
polyester, they’re also longer lasting, and less affected by temperature
than cheaper ceramic caps. Typically used in expensive boutique
guitars.
