Alternating between tight, down-tuned riffs and wah-soaked, blues-tinged leads, the Sword’s Kyle Shutt melds stoner rock grit, classic metal virtuosity, and psychedelic flair into a sound that’s all his own. Released just in time for the 15th anniversary of the band’s seminal sci-fi-themed masterpiece, Warp Riders, the Reverend Kyle Shutt II offers a fresh take on his classic signature model. This aggressively elegant instrument is built around a solid korina body, carved into an eye-grabbing double-horn shape. The Medium Oval korina neck gives you plenty to grab onto without getting in your way, and the 22-fret, 12-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard provides a capable platform for unleashing your pent-up pentatonics. When you plug in, uniquely voiced Railhammer Kyle Shutt pickups deliver Sabbath-style sludge, searing leads, and spacey psychedelia with equal assurance, bolstered by per-pickup Volume and Tone knobs, a Bass Contour control, and a 3-way selector switch. Hardware-wise, the Kyle Shutt II features a Tune-o-matic bridge, stoptail tailpiece, and Pin-Lock tuning machines for rock-solid stability all around. You also get a spotlight-ready pearloid headstock inlay, a backsprayed gold pickguard, and gleaming gold hardware. Whether you’re summoning thunderous riffage or soaring into the sonic cosmos, the Kyle Shutt II is built to turn every note into a statement that’s bold, brutal, and unmistakably yours.

Ultra-smooth, comfortable set neck
The 3-piece korina neck on the Kyle Shutt II has been cut to a Medium Oval profile for a comfortable feel in your hand that makes lead runs and chords up and down the rosewood fingerboard extra smooth. Many guitarists love the set-neck design due to its unobtrusive heel shape and unfettered vibrational transfer. And with a dual-action truss rod, you can adjust it in both directions, allowing back bow or forward bow to suit your preferred action. The dual-action design also means correct adjustment range is possible regardless of string tension, changes in climate conditions, or the effects of long-term aging.

Humbucker growl meets P-90 bite
Reverend Guitars founder Joe Naylor is a self-proclaimed tone junkie, constantly refining body shapes and pickup designs in pursuit of the ultimate sound. A true innovator, Joe not only launched Reverend Guitars in 1997 but also founded Railhammer Pickups in 2012. For this signature model, Joe teamed up with Kyle Shutt himself to design a custom set of Railhammer pickups that tackle doom-laden, Sabbath-style grind and searing metallic textures with equal veracity. The Kyle Shutt signature pickups feature rails under the wound strings for tight, punchy lows and traditional pole pieces under the plain strings for rich, singing highs. In the neck, the high-output Kyle Shutt Humcutter offers classic P-90 tone — fat, raw, and articulate — but without the hum. In the bridge, the Kyle Shutt humbucker is based on the Railhammer Hyper Vintage, but with smoother highs and a thicker overall voice that are perfect for everything from glassy cleans and vintage crunch to fuzz-drenched riffing. Individual Volume and Tone controls for each pickup, a 3-way selector switch, and Reverend’s signature Bass Contour control give you a wide tonal palette. Roll back the Bass Contour to tighten low-end response, enhance pick attack, or dial in mid-forward tones typically only achievable with an EQ or filter pedal. Whether you’re chasing clarity or chaos, the Kyle Shutt II delivers!
