Reverend Sensei HB FM Limited Edition 2016 Trans Black w/Case

Each Fall, Reverend Guitars releases a Limited Edition model. This year, the Reverend Sensei HB got the all-star treatment with the addition of a Bigsby and colored flame maple tops on Reverend’s classic Korina body. Loaded with the company’s Special H pickups, the Reverend Sensei HB LE also features a bound headstock and a 2016 LE Medallion on the back. Reverend CEO, Ken Haas, calls the guitar “the sexiest Sensei ever built.”

[jelloman]

Very nice...better without the Bigsby...

 

[dodgechargerfan]

I like it!

I could live with a less flamey top, but I can deal with it, as is.

 

[Deep Eddy]

Very nice (although, not my favorite Reverend)...better with the Bigsby...

 

[Wyatt]

Meh.

I never really got into the aesthetics of the import Reverends, always reminded me of the the slew of generic store brand guitars.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Not my favorite Rev, for several reasons (bigsby, shape, finish, etc)

I'll give Reverend one thing. While I completely get where you're coming from regarding aesthetics, they feel and play better than the standard GC driftwood.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Not my kinda thing.

I have no doubt.

And they aren't ugly, I just find them meh. I loved the retro look of the original USA Reverends. The body shapes of the imports just feel like they came out of the manufacturers catalog.

 

[Chad]

I can dig it.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Not bad, though I would prefer it without the Bigsby.

 

[PunkKitty]

I'd like it better without the Bigsby.

 

[Stratguy]

I like it.

 

[gtrjunior]

Headstock is a little beefy, and I'm not feeling the bigsby but otherwise I'm liking that!!

 

[grover]

Dig it!

 

[Peen Simmons]

Not the Sensei I would/did choose.

 

[Modern Saint]

Kinda cool!

 

[jp_nyc]

Nice guitar. But for that price I’d just spend a few more dollars and get a Gibson SG.

 

[Denverdave]

Not my fave Reverend model, but still pretty sweet!

Change the colour and I'm sold. I really wish they'd do a Rev model with a JM-style vibrato.
