Reverend Roundhouse RA FM
Roundhouse of the Rising Sun
The Reverend Roundhouse RA FM has set Wildwood Guitars alight with excitement ever since its arrival, because we haven't seen a Reverend with a carved top in forever! With a transparent finish that highlights the stunning grain of the flamed maple top, this guitar is a stone-cold stunner in the looks department. It's also an absolute sonic titan, and it is incredibly versatile. Let's take a close look and see what makes the Roundhouse RA so inspiring!
By matching the Roundhouse RA's korina body to the aforementioned maple top, the fine folks at Reverend have put a fresh spin on a classic tonewood combination. Korina shares many sonic characteristics with mahogany (it's warm, punchy, well-balanced, and even), but it's livelier and it has more overtone presence in the highs. Maple, on the other hand, tends to impart brightness, cut, and clarity when used for an electric guitar top. So, the Roundhouse RA FM sounds similar to the classic single-cut maple-topped guitars of yore, but with a bit of extra sparkle and a slightly sunnier attitude. And, the Hyper Vintage Railhammer pickups capture the tone of vintage PAFs beautifully!
Power to the Player
Reverend has kitted out the Roundhouse RA FM with a metric ton of appointments that enhance the player's experience and while making the instrument supremely reliable. The medium oval neck profile is home to 22 0.110" wide x 0.050" high frets and a fingerboard with a 12" radius, a configuration well-suited to most techniques and playing styles (and, it's especially good for bending strings). Also, it has pin-lock tuners and a Boneite nut to ensure excellent tuning stability, and it comes equipped with boutique-quality pots and caps and a Pure Tone jack for consistent sound.
Burning Down the 'House
We're proud to showcase Reverend's carved-top king! Drool-inducing looks aside, the Roundhouse RA FM is a sonic titan that allows you to cop some awesome iconic tones mixed with some modern flair. It feels classic and fresh at the same time, and we know it will inspire you to embark on all sorts of musical adventures!
