Here for sale we have a Reverend Contender 290 Electric Guitar in Medieval Red finish. Made in Korea in 2020, this guitar consists of a Korina body, a 3-piece Korina neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Reverend Pin-Lock tuners, a Tune-o-Matic bridge with Stop Tail, and two 9A5 P90 pickups which are wired to a Master Volume, Master Tone, Bass Contour, and a 3-way pickup selector.
The 3-piece Korina neck plays very well, with the 'Medium Oval' profile providing comfortable playability in all registers, whilst the Gloss finish to the rear ensures that transitions up and down the neck feel smooth and controlled. A smooth Rosewood fingerboard adorned with 22 medium jumbo frets serve only to enhance the already fantastic playing experience. The 12" radius provides a comprehensive playing surface that enables both easy chordal fretting yet practicality for fast lead lines.
The P-90 pickups sound thick and raw, with a solid output that pushes the front end of an amp nicely. The lows are full and tight sound, the midrange is powerful, easily cutting through a mix, along with the biting high frequencies. The pickups are very dynamic sounding, more so than the slightly compressed nature of humbuckers, while offering more power than is usually associated with single coils. The option of the bass contour control is great for tightening up the low end or re-voicing the pickups.
