If the mad scientists of guitar design locked themselves in a lab to build the ultimate sonic weapon, they’d emerge with the Reverend Reeves Gabrels Sustainiac MKII.
This guitar takes the already legendary Reeves Gabrels signature model and supercharges it with endless sustain and harmonic wizardry. Built for players who demand total control over their sound, this reimagined tone machine packs a new three-pickup layout and the acclaimed Sustainiac system into an instrument that practically plays itself.
Endless Sustain and Controlled Chaos
Let’s cut to the chase: the Sustainiac system is the beating heart of this beast. It turns your guitar into a living, breathing creature that responds to your every touch with organic, controllable feedback. You don't need a massive stack of cranked amplifiers to get that screaming, infinite sustain — you just need to flip a switch. It’s a creative cheat code for players who want to hold a note until the sun goes down.
Sustainiac System: Engage the circuit to generate powerful, magnetic energy that vibrates your strings indefinitely, allowing you to hold notes and chords for as long as you want.
Harmonic Mode Switches: Sculpt your screech. Toggle between fundamental notes, harmonic overtones, or a blend of both to tailor your feedback exactly how you hear it in your head.
Sustainiac Neck Pickup: When the system is off, it operates as an active single-coil neck pickup, delivering a punchy, articulate tone that slices right through the mix.
Tone on Tap
A guitar is only as good as its voice, and this one has a choir of them. The reimagined pickup configuration features a versatile 5-way selector that opens up a treasure trove of tonal options. From blistering rock riffs to glassy, clean rhythms, you can dial in the exact flavor you need without ever swapping guitars mid-set.
Railhammer Reeves Gabrels Bridge Pickup: This innovative humbucker combines rails under the wound strings for tight lows and poles under the plain strings for fat highs, giving you a thick, aggressive bite.
Reverend S-Rail Middle Pickup: Drop into the middle position for a focused, vintage-flavored single-coil spank that pairs perfectly with the bridge or neck for classic "quack" tones.
Tone-Shaping Switching: The 5-way blade switch allows you to seamlessly bounce between thick leads, snappy rhythms, and everything in between, keeping your audience guessing.
Road-Ready Construction
You can't build a high-performance engine and put it in a cheap chassis. Reverend loaded this guitar with boutique-level hardware and tonewoods that ensure it stays in tune, intonates perfectly, and feels like an extension of your body. It’s a workhorse designed to handle the rigors of the road while looking exceptionally sharp under the stage lights.
Resonant Korina Body: Lightweight and incredibly lively, the Korina body produces a rich, responsive tone that acoustic purists and high-gain hounds both appreciate.
Roasted Maple Neck & Ebony Fretboard: The roasting process removes moisture from the maple, creating a rock-solid, stable neck that shrugs off humidity changes, topped with a slick ebony board for lightning-fast fretting.
Wilkinson Tremolo & Pin-Locking Tuners: Dive-bomb, flutter, and warble to your heart's content. The Wilkinson WVS50 IIK bridge and Reverend's pin-locking tuners work together to ensure you return to perfect pitch every single time.
Your Six-String Secret Weapon
The Reverend Reeves Gabrels Sustainiac MKII isn't just a guitar; it's a completely new dimension for your playing. It blends top-tier craftsmanship with mind-bending electronics, giving you the power to create textures, soundscapes, and solos that simply aren't possible on a traditional instrument. Grab the neck, flip the switch, and let the guitar do the heavy lifting.
Frequently Asked Questions about theReverend Reeves Gabrels Sustainiac MKII
How does the Sustainiac system actually work?
The Sustainiac system uses magnetic energy to drive the strings of your guitar. When engaged, the neck pickup acts as a driver, vibrating the strings to create infinite sustain and organic feedback at any volume level.
Does the Sustainiac system require a battery?
Yes. The Sustainiac circuit is active and requires a 9-volt battery to operate. When the system is actively sustaining, a fresh battery will typically last for around 18 hours of continuous use.
Can I use the Sustainiac neck pickup as a normal pickup?
Absolutely. When the Sustainiac system is switched off, the neck driver functions as a high-quality, active single-coil pickup, providing great clean and overdriven tones.
What does the Korina wood body do for the guitar's tone?
Korina is a highly resonant, medium-lightweight wood that shares many tonal characteristics with mahogany. It provides a warm, punchy, and lively tone that makes the guitar extremely responsive to your picking dynamics.
How well does the Wilkinson tremolo stay in tune?
The Wilkinson WVS50 IIK Tremolo is paired with Reverend's custom Pin-Locking tuners. This combination eliminates string slippage at the tuning peg and provides smooth, reliable tremolo action that returns to pitch exceptionally well, even after heavy use.
