Reverend Unveils New Gil Parris GPS Guitar
Reverend's first-ever Strat-style model boasts a trio of Fishman Fluence Single Width pickups with "vintage" and "muscular" voicings.
Reverend Guitars has teamed up with session veteran Gil Parris for a new signature guitar, the Gil Parris GPS.
The guitar – Reverend's first-ever Strat-style model – is built with a Korina body, Medium Oval neck profile, a heat-treated roasted maple neck with a 25.5" scale, and a friction-reducing Bonetite nut.
Sounds on the guitar come by way of a trio of Fishman Fluence Single Width pickups. These offer two separate voicings – "vintage sweetness and clarity" or a "more muscular overwound punch" – via a push-pull toggle on the bridge tone knob.
Other features on the guitar include Reverend's pin-lock tuners and a Wilkinson WVS50K tremolo.
The Reverend Gil Parris GPS guitar is available now – in a Midnight Black finish – for $1,919.
