Road tested and artist approved, the Reverend Charger HB comes outfitted with top-notch tonewoods, custom electronics, and more. It’s a custom-shop experience at a jaw-dropping price! The Charger HB’s sonic personality and reliable build are more than capable of getting the goods for studio pros, bedroom producers, and gigging artists alike. A lightweight korina body delivers full-bodied resonance with noticeable mahogany-like warmth; korina perfectly pairs with a maple fingerboard and neck, both roasted for stability and outstanding vintage looks. Tone-wise, two Reverend HA5 pickups guarantee praiseworthy PAF-style humbucker tones with increased output and clarity to suit modern styles, but do so without compromising this guitar’s retro cred. Moreover, numerous high-end appointments deliver versatile tone-tweaking options matched with reliable, gig-worthy hardware. Locking tuners, an innovative Bass Contour, a treble bleed circuit, premium pots and caps, and a Pure Tone jack merge to form a mechanically and electronically sound guitar that’s beyond reliable. If you’re looking for a rockin’ guitar that’s fit for the long haul, the Reverend Charger HB might be the perfect fit.

Outstanding tonewoods shaped to perfection

Reverend’s consistency in quality and incredible tone is a hallmark of their brand, and it all starts with the woods. The company focuses on a no-compromise standard — their meticulously chosen woods combine long-lasting durability with room-filling resonance. Korina bodies are well known for their presence in boutique and custom-shop instruments, exuding velvety warmth while balancing lows, mids, and highs exceptionally well. The Charger HB’s roasted maple neck feels sturdy in the hands, holding up to humidity changes while out on the road and delivering that beloved “snap.” The roasted maple fingerboard feels just as exceptional as it looks, highly lauded for its smooth-as-glass texture and effortless playability in all positions.

Custom PAF-style humbuckers

Rather than rely on third-party pickups to get the job done, Reverend took it upon themselves to craft their own for the Charger HB. Loaded in both positions is a pair of custom-voiced humbuckers, akin to vintage PAFs with slight tweaks to deliver a distinct sound. The HA5 in the bridge packs a punch just like a roaring humbucker should, wound slightly hotter than comparable pickups for added thickness and warmth that works exceptionally well for modern genres and playing styles. Players are quick to point out the clarity of the HA5 in the neck position: it’s much more open sounding than your standard PAF while possessing all of the smoothness of its inspiration. When you’re in need of a versatile workhorse, this impressive set of pickups is sure to give you a standout sound.

Fabulous appointments — no sticker shock

One strum is all it takes to experience the exquisite quality of Reverend’s guitars. The Charger HB comes stock with several enhancements typically reserved for instruments more than double the cost. The result? A 6-string with an elite, pro-quality feel. The Bass Contour knob is a handy tool for tone shaping. It’s capable of tightening up flub and even changing the characteristics of your pickups — humbuckers can quickly morph into single-coils with this awesome mod! Like all of Reverend’s other offerings, the Charger HB comes equipped with an upgraded jack courtesy of Pure Tone Technologies. Rather than employ the standard single contact, Pure Tone jacks use a pair of contacts for a tighter connection and a more consistent signal. Let’s not forget the treble bleed circuit for retaining your high end when rolling back the volume, which is made even better with 10% poly caps and pots for much more consistent performance. With a Reverend in your hands, you can rest assured that only the best components are under the hood.
