I just want to plug my new Reverend Wolfman as a great sounding and
playing guitar for surf, rockabilly, jazz, blues and rock, etc. It
really does nail it even w/ humbuckers (RevTron). I still prefer the
feel and tone of my Jazzmaster for surf but I think the Reverend is
by far the best guitar for the money and is actually more versatile.
it's twangy and has some real bite. I had Reverend put a Bigsby on as
well. The floating tremelo on the JM is easier to control but the
Bigsby is easier to find while playing and offers the same amount of
range (dip) and is much more solid.
The Slinshot model has two or three P-90's (depending on workhorse or
custom)and is awesome as well.
Well built and perfectly setup, they are a steal for the price.
Just my two-bits.
I can't speak for the guitars, as I've never actually seen one up
close (well, the closest I should say was Chris Bess from Southern
Culture on the Skids was playing one one of the last times I saw them
live). The amps on the other hand -
I play through a Reverend Hellhound 40/60 head through an Avatar cab
(with 2 Eminence M12's) and the clean tone on the US setting is
awesome. I use a Peavey Valverb for reverb/tremolo and it easily
nails Twin tones, on the UK setting it gets a little raunchier (I
don't dime out the Gain, since with the outboard reverb it gets a
little too nasty, but with a little echo nails some Cramps-ish type
sounds pretty well.) The 60 watts are plenty loud (we have a pretty
hard hitting drummer, so it's necessary).
Just my $.02.
