Road tested and artist approved, the Reverend Guitars Charger 290 electric guitar is outfitted with top-notch woods and electronics for an unquestionably custom-shop look and feel. This rock-solid 6-string embodies all the sonic excellence of a premium instrument at a price that works for bedroom producers, gigging guitarists, and all musicians in between. Its korina body delivers a mellow sound with far-reaching resonance; it’s perfectly paired with a snappy roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Reverend 9A5 single-coil pickups in the bridge and the neck deliver that classic P-90 sound with some added “oomph” and clarity, made even better with a Bass Contour knob for additional fine-tuning. Pin-lock tuners make for lightning-quick string changes while keeping everything in tune. Finally, boutique accents like a Pure Tone jack, 10% pots and poly caps, and a treble bleed circuit add to the prestige of this showstopper.

Sturdy, lightweight woods deliver exceptional warmth and balance

Reverend’s consistency in quality and incredible tone is a hallmark of their brand, and it all starts with the woods. The company focuses on a no-compromise standard — their meticulously chosen woods combine long-lasting durability with room-filling resonance. Korina bodies are well known for their presence in boutique and custom-shop instruments, exuding velvety warmth while balancing lows, mids, and highs exceptionally well. The Charger 290’s roasted maple neck feels sturdy in the hands, holding up to humidity changes while out on the road and delivering that beloved “snap.” The warm rosewood fingerboard feels just as exceptional as it looks, highly lauded for its exceptional tone and effortless playability in all positions.

Custom Reverend P-90s bring out the best in your instrument

Rather than rely on third-party pickups to get the job done, Reverend took it upon themselves to craft their own for the Charger 290. Loaded in both positions is a pair of custom-voiced single-coils, akin to vintage P-90s with slight tweaks to deliver a distinct sound. The 9A5 in the bridge bites just like a P-90 should, with added thickness and heat that works exceptionally well for modern genres and playing styles.
