When Bob Balch asked for a new trem model, we knew exactly what was needed. We dropped in the Floyd Rose 1000 Series Pro, and took this guitar to the next level. Dive bomb all night long without going out of tune, and revel in the extra sparkle and harmonics courtesy of the Floyd’s metallic mass. Are you ready to rock? This guitar is!

Railhammer Pickups
Rails under the wound strings for tight lows. Poles under the plain strings for fat highs. This revolutionary design from Reverend founder Joe Naylor delivers exceptional clarity and punch, that will get you heard loud and clear!
Floyd Rose Bridge & Locking Nut
The low-profile version of the infamous Original tremolo, the 1000 Series Pro features the same string spacing as the Floyd Rose Original (.420").
Korina Body
Korina (aka White Limba) is a medium-light weight wood, highly prized for consistency and tonal qualities. Often found in boutique and vintage instruments, all Reverends feature Korina bodies. A highly resonant wood, Korina is a key factor to producing our lively, responsive instruments that are rich in harmonics.
Bass Contour
This passive bass roll-off is great for tightening up the low end, or re-voicing the pickups. It can make a humbucker sound like a single-coil, or give a P-90 that classic twang. Variable pickup voicing at your fingertips!
Treble Bleed Circuit
All Reverend guitars have a treble bleed circuit, preserving the treble when you roll back the volume control. When you roll back a standard volume control, the tone loses treble and becomes dull sounding. Now you can turn down and still sound great!
Pin-Lock Tuners
A thumbwheel under the tuner pushes a steel pin up through the post, locking the string in place for exceptional tuning stability and super-fast string changes.
