Pros
- +Korina body and neck provide exceptional resonance and a harmonically rich tone
- +Bass Contour control allows you to thin out the humbuckers for P-90 style clarity
- +Treble bleed circuit ensures you don't lose high-end definition when rolling back volume
- +High-end features like a Boneite nut and locking tuners at a competitive price
Cons
- −Reverend's unique design language is a departure from traditional single-cut shapes

- −Scarcity on the used market makes them difficult to find
The Verdict
The Reverend Roundhouse is a lean, mean rock machine that offers an incredible alternative to the Les Paul standard. While its EJ Score of 10/100 reflects a lack of numeric scoring in our recent data batch, editorial consensus is extremely high. It combines the warmth of a classic single-cut with modern playability and the versatility of the Bass Contour circuit. It is one of the most overlooked pro-level guitars on the market today.
