Reverend Charger 290 Electric Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard, Metallic Alpine
A staple in Reverend’s ever-growing “Bolt-On” Series, this Charger 290 features a single-cutaway design, carved from solid Korina.
The Charger 290 offers a medium-light weight due to its use of Korina, also known as White Limba. The body design features a robust 6-bolt connection to its roasted maple neck, hence the name of the series it’s a part of. The roasting process of the neck means that the wood undergoes a heat treatment at over 300°F, eliminating sugars, moisture, and impurities. This process results in a lighter, more stable neck with a beautiful, dark caramel color. Featuring a Medium Oval profile, the neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard whose darker appearance creates a beautiful contrast to the Metallic Alpine body color. The fingerboard boasts 22 frets with dimensions of 0.110″ width and 0.050″ height, the fretboard boasts a 12″ radius.
At the heart of the Charger 290 are its ripping-hot Reverend 9A5 P90-style pickups. The 9A5 Bridge Pickup delivers a raw, classic tone with slightly increased thickness, ideal for the bridge position. The bridge 9A5 offers a touch more bite, and a slightly brighter tone in comparison its counterpart found in the neck. The guitar features a versatile passive bass roll-off, allowing players to tailor the low end or re-voice the pickups for a variety of tones.
Wrapped in a gloss Metallic Alpine finish, the Charger offers a sleek, simplistic aesthetic that drives the point home that this guitar is meant for one thing only: a no frills, great sounding p-90 experience.Â
