Reverend Charger HB Electric Guitar, Roasted Maple Neck & Fingerboard, Midnight Black
Reverend’s constantly growing “Bolt-On” Series now boasts this Charger HB, offering a single-cutaway design and two of Reverend’s own HA5 humbuckers.Â
The Charger HB 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 features a fingerboard with 22 frets, dimensions 0.110″ width and 0.050″ height, and a 12″ radius.
At the heart of the Charger HB are its Reverend HA5 humbucking pickups. The HA5 found in the Charger’s Bridge features a classic humbucker design, with a slight increase in winding for added drive and punch. It exhibits a warm but open tone, with clarity due to its use of 43-gauge wire and an alnico 5 magnet. On the other hand, the HA5 Neck Pickup borrows a vintage PAF style, delibering a warmer tone with subtly relaxed mids and outstanding clarity. Specifically underwound for the neck position, it utilizes 42-gauge wire, an alnico 5 magnet, and registers a resistance of 7.5K ohms.
Wrapped in a gorgeous, gloss, original Reverend Midnight Black, 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 guitar playing experience.Â
