their QC is pretty trash, at least on the one I picked up. Sharp metal burrs should not cause you to nick your finger when resting your hand on the bridge. Granted easily fixed, but I shouldnt have to on this upper mid-level guitar.

I bought the BC1 and I really like it. Some people hate it. It’s polarizing. I liked that it didn’t have a classic look and wanted something a little different. I also really like the headstock.

The “Z” logo gives it Datsun 240z vibe 👍

I wired a high pass/low cut filter out of the bridge tone control on a 335, and made the neck tone into a master several years ago. Being able to roll off just a bit of low end and tightening it up was only second to the 5+2 Strat switching as the best electronics mod I've done. I worked in a repair shop, out of every 3 or so semihollow owners who tried mine had me convert theirs. It can handle higher overdrive and fuzz much better then normal.

You have to hand it to Reverend...they make some great guitars. I lusted after an Unknown Hinson signature model with the p90s. Now you can't get 'em new I'm sad. The Billy Corgan one doesn't excite me as much but looks very cool. My latest Reverend obsession is the Greg Koch 'Gristlemaster'..a T style but slightly larger in the body and those pickups are INSANE!! Can you review that one if you haven't already?

I like the unique string tree, the aluminium pickguard too that match the colour vibe. The boost is good tools to have. Maybe checking out new Yamaha Revstar for the "unique" boost on it is another good reverence.

What pedal did you use when when you first turned on the dirt and played the full Bullet riff dirt? Or was that the gain on the amp?

I dig their bolt on neck series. I think I'd go for the Double Agent model

Thanks for the review! I just picked up a 2015 Reverend Warhawk with 3 of their P90's. Really been fun to play, so far. That Z-One may have to make it onto my wish list.

Terz is a short scale tuned up. Pickups are Railhammers in a P90 type pickup.

That sounds fantastic. The thing that grabs my attention is how clean the routs are unlike another brand frequently reviewed on this channel

They even make an Electric Terz Guitar which is an old 19th Century Guitar w/ a Shorter Scale Length & is designed to be tuned a minor third above a Standard Guitar at High G Standard Tuning which is the same as a Standard Guitar w/ a capo on the 3rd Fret. Billy Corgan Revived the Terz Guitar in a Solid Body Electric Version.

I played one and it's cool. It sounds nice and the string tension makes for some percussive strumming. I also noticed some similarities in design with my evh wolfgang which I thought were very interesting. However, none of the Reverend guitars I've tried have rolled fingerboard edges which make it uncomfortable. For $1,500 I wish they could have someone go over the wood edges edges with some sandpaper and include some type of case. I'll probably buy one used and do it myself because it is still really very cool.

That guitar is nice looking. Way better that the first models. Never thought I'd want own or buy one but that guitar you're right, nails the classic look. Looking at it strapped up to you looks good.

Awesome review! I own mostly USA made guitars. Two exceptions are my Reverend Airwave 12-String and my brand new Reverend Cross Cut. These guitars are amazing, high quality, and do a lot of things Gibson and Fender should be doing but for some reason don't. Anyway if you are a USA guitar guy like me and want to try something different, check out Reverends, you will likely be blown away. The Railhammer pickups are P-90 inspired and really punch up the mojo.

I have a reverend and I do not like the tone of my bridge humbucker, it is way too bright for me but I think these railhammers are perfect since I like the sound of my p90 neck pickup.

I picked up this signature guitar a couple weeks ago in metallic white. My first reverend, and I absolutely love the longer scale length, over all the pickups sound amazing for nailing that early Gish/Siamese dream tone. And you're right, the bass contour knob is useable, and super unique. My only downside is the build quality, I am used to Schecter guitars and every one I have picked up has been perfect out of the box, fret ends completely smooth. However there are a couple oversights on quality with the Reverend, there are a couple places on the bridge pickup cover that are insanely sharp, cut my finger the first time due to a pesky burr. Easily fixed with a file, but I should have to do that on a $1500 guitar.

In late 2003 or 2004 I bought a butterscotch fender toronado with p90s from guitar center; it was most expensive guitar I had bought up to that point. Fun guitar. I wish I still had it.

Love the look of this guitar! I just wish the head stock was matching or painted black and it came with at least a good quality gig bag. 🤔

Took a chance on a Reverend Bob Balch signature. It has become my go to guitar. I absolutely love the bass contour. Fit and finish on mine is excellent.

That thing sounds GREAT. Love the artwork on the pickup covers. The guitar itself looks very good. It looks like a lot of fun to play.

i like this new one way more than his first 2 signatures. the 1 piece pickguard looks a lot better but i'm still not a fan of strat style bridges or maple fretboards

does the color change the tone?

not the biggest fan of the headstock, but overall I think this guitar is very cool! Its got a unique design and sounds/looks great :)

The floating pad is for the headstock. Wedge it in like you did the body.

Very pretty guitar the Z-One, a unique look. To my ears the neck rail sounds bright and bit thin when clean, while distorted it sounds fine. My experience with a few different rail pups not just in this example. Still a decent guitar.

Nice guitar, sounds great. You can take a low end guitar ( not saying this is low end ) a good amp, and great musician ( you ) to get great sound. I would love to see a BC Rich review.

Hey Trogley... love the show, mostly a rock for the Billy Corgan signature... that's a handsome piece of kit. I have a peculiar enquiry... I was emailing a never-met-in person and noticed his profile pic was a dude playing a custom es-500? Left handed... Anyway, turns out it's the chap from Rancid, Tim Armstrong... have you ever reviewed any of his guitars? Just curious? Love the show, my favourite subscription. Keep up the good work sir

People might not know who Smashing Pumpkins are? Now I feel old! Beatles? Who They?

played those most of the night on their last tour. Used a les paul special and a 335 for a couple songs

I bloody love my Reverend P390 - It's a fab guitar and stands upto my higher value Gibsons and Fenders tbh.

That pickguard's shape reminds me a lot of the Roland guitar synth's Strat-style controller guitar from the early 80's 🙂

I’d pay $799 for something like this with no case. Honestly all guitar prices have gone up. Fender MIM can go for $1,499 and Americans are now $1,799. Big mark ups from Pre Covid. I feel if you’re gonna pay $1,499 might as well get that American Fender for $1799 or Gibson. Not long ago about $1300-$1500 would get you a good American made top brand. Now it gets you a Mexican that’s not horrible, but usually needs to go right to the shop to get setup.

Lift up the plastic pickguards on old Fender’s and see what’s underneath them 😉 I have three and I can tell you there is a metal pickguard called a shield underneath that’s the same shape and cutouts as the pickguard. It’s a shield and back in the day I suppose it was much cheaper and easier to make a thin aluminum sheet cutout pickguard to go underneath the plastic guard. Anyways these days a nice full thickness aluminum pickguard eliminates the need for a plastic pickguard on top of the aluminum. It’s attractive and does serve a purpose for shielding and interference. Not everyone does or will understand the benefits here. I myself I love them but not on all guitars but for the Reverend guitars they look beautifully done.
