CURRENT INSTRUMENTS

1. Where are Reverend instruments made?
Reverend guitars are built in South Korea by Mirr Music Co. This company is owned by Hank Cho, a third generation guitar builder who’s attention to detail, high quality control, and ability to accurately produce our unique designs (as opposed to the same old knock-offs) made Mirr a perfect partner for Reverend. These guitars are top-notch in every way… the wood is properly cured, the finishes are thin, the neck pockets are tight, the frets are polished, the components are high quality, and the overall fit and finish are first rate.

Every guitar model is designed by award-winning luthier and Reverend founder Joe Naylor. All components, woods, dimensions and materials have been specified by Joe for maximum performance and serviceability.

Our goal is not to build the cheapest Korean guitar, but rather to raise the bar for performance. It costs a little more to do that, but the result is a pro level guitar that is gig ready right out of the box.

2. Does Reverend offer separate pickguards, pickups, or necks?
Sorry, we do not offer any separate components. We do offer small repair parts, email sales@reverendguitars.com for availability. Replacement custom pickguards can be made by www.pickguardian.com, and you can also find several other pickguard makers through an online search.

3. Does Reverend offer repair, maintenance, or modification services?
We recommend consulting with the dealer you purchased from, or with a qualified repair shop in your area. Otherwise email us at sales@reverendguitars.com for available services.

4. Which graphite saddles fit my guitar?
The Graphtech model number PS-8618-00 saddles will fit the tuneomatic bridge. The PS-8200-00 saddles fit our Wilkinson tremolo. Contact www.graphtech.com for purchasing info.

TREMOLOS

5. Can Reverend install a Bigsby tremolo?
We don’t install Bigsbys, but you can install one on a non-tremolo guitar with the Vibramate kit.

6. Can Reverend install a Stetsbar tremolo?
We don’t install Stetsbars, but you, your dealer or tech can install one. For more info see: www.stetsbar.com

7. Can Reverend install a Les Trem tremolo?
We don’t install Les Trems. They are made in Germany by ABM, and distributed in the USA by www.allparts.com.

8. How do I install the Les Trem tremolo?
Here is our Les Trem Install Page. Please note: our method will require you to drill a hole in the spring plate and the body! Otherwise, the standard self-adhesive pad can be used. We advise installation be performed by a professional guitar technician.

9. How do I adjust the Les Trem tremolo?
See this page: Les Trem instructions.

10. Where can I purchase the roller bridge used with the Les Trem and Bigsby?
We sell them here: Store.

11. On my Les Trem, the bolt that holds the arm on broke, do you have replacements?
We don’t have that particular part. We recommend replacing it with a 5mm thread x 16mm long – roundhead bolt. Most bigger hardware stores will have them. It’s actually stronger and easier to adjust than the original bolt.
