Reverend Guitars Charger RA Electric Guitar - Midnight Black

Road tested and artist approved, the Reverend Guitars Charger RA Blackout electric guitar is outfitted with top-notch woods, powerful electronics, and blacked-out accents for an unquestionably custom-shop look and feel. This rock-solid 6-string embodies all the sonic excellence of a premium instrument at a price that works for bedroom producers, gigging guitarists, and all musicians in between. Its maple-capped korina body delivers a cutting sound with far-reaching resonance; it's perfectly paired with a snappy roasted maple neck and an elegant ebony fretboard. The Charger RA Blackout is equipped with two searing Railhammer pickups: a Chisel in the neck and Anvil in the bridge. This pairing gives you the aggressive output of active pickups while retaining an organic passive feel, made even better with a Bass Contour knob for additional fine-tuning. Finally, Reverend's Pin-lock tuners make for lightning-quick string changes while keeping everything in tune.

Sturdy, lightweight woods deliver exceptional warmth and balance

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 flame maple top only builds on the korina's tonal base, adding welcome bite and brightness to your playing. The Charger RA Blackout's roasted maple neck feels sturdy in the hands, holding up to humidity changes while out on the road and delivering that beloved "snap."

Fly off the "rails" with hard-hitting Railhammer pickups

Rather than rely on third-party pickups to get the job done, Reverend looked toward founder Joe Naylor's ultra-modern Railhammer pickups. The Charger RA Blackout comes loaded with a pair of these fire-breathers, with the Anvil in the bridge and the Chisel in the neck delivering searing tones for Sweetwater guitarists exploring high-gain genres. Whether you're playing unrelentingly aggressive metal or fuzzy blues licks, the anvil pickup is clear and articulate with the organic control of a passive pickup and the heat of an active one. The Chisel is the perfect pairing for the Anvil, with a faster attack and superb clarity.

Elite-level appointments from head to heel

One strum is all it takes to experience the exquisite quality of Reverend's guitars. The Charger RA Blackout comes stock with several top-shelf enhancements. 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 RA Blackout 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. With a Reverend in your hands, you can rest assured that only the best components are under the hood.
