Two models will be available in this cool looking silver finish, the Pete Anderson PA-1 RT and the Pete Anderson Eastsider. This fresh new look for Reverend follows up on the success of the previous limited run gold metal flake finished guitars. They will only be available at Wildwood Guitars, Colorado
The Pete Anderson Signature Eastsider-T is Reverend’s tribute to vintage T-Style guitars. Underneath the guitar’s traditional look is Reverend’s modern design improvements, most notably having the body chambered, and the use of Korina wood.
The guitar also features a compound-radius maple fretboard with satin finish for modern playability. A push-pull phase switch expands the tonal possibilities that you can get from the guitar’s custom alnico pickups. The new silver metal flake finish serves as a striking contrast to the instrument’s familiar shape.
The Pete Anderson Signature PA-1 RT is an elegant looking hollow-body, made more extravagant looking by the silver metal flake finish. It comes with Reverend’s own Revtron pickups for extra midrange punch and twang. The hollow-body is made from maple, featuring a proprietary Uni-Brace system that is designed to help control feedback while adding sustain.
In keeping with Reverend’s fascination with Korina wood, the guitar sports a 3-piece Korina neck with a 15th fret neck and body joint for better access to the higher points on the neck. Other aesthetic bonuses include “R” embossed knobs, and an “R” logo pickguard. A nifty tone shaping feature, the Reverend Bass Contour is available in this model. It is a variable bass roll-off knob that adjusts the pickup voicing. Like all PA-1 models, this one comes with a Bigsby B70.
Joe Naylor, Founder of Reverend Guitars, had this to say: “It’s influenced by the classics. The look is very important – you wear it – but it’s also a musician’s tool, and everything has to work. Everything continues to evolve for Reverend, and that’s part of our philosophy. The last Reverend is the best Reverend.”
The Pete Anderson Eastsider-T with silver metal flake finish is selling for $999, while the Pete Anderson Signature PA-1 RT carries a price tag of $1,499. Visit Wildwood Guitars for other details, or to place your order.
