This custom-spec Reverend Sensei RA combines hard-hitting sonics, streamlined playability, and the striking style of a flame maple veneer top. Two innovative Railhammer Chisel pickups are primed for explosive rock tone, with blade magnets under your wound strings for tighter lows and poles under your plain strings for fatter highs. Its medium oval neck profile and 12-inch-radius ebony fretboard set a fantastic foundation for fast, precise playability, and gigging musicians will surely appreciate the boost in stability and note sustain from the Sensei’s korina 3-piece set neck. With premium components like Pin-Lock tuning machines, a Pure Tone jack with a custom jack plate, and a built-in treble bleed circuit to maintain clarity when you roll the volume back, you'll discover the Reverend Sensei RA is a world-class instrument right out of the case.
Railhammer Chisel pickups are optimized for fat, punchy tone
An original design by Reverend Guitars founder Joe Naylor, Railhammer Chisel pickups are optimized for fat, punchy tone. Railhammer Chisel humbuckers utilize a rail magnet beneath your wound strings, the perfect choice for tight, punchy lows without mud or flubbiness. Beneath your plain strings, Railhammer pickups use pole pieces to enhance the fundamental of higher notes for a fatter sound.
Fine-tune your tone with the Bass Contour control
Guitarists often wonder why more guitars don't offer a bass roll-off control like the Sensei RA's Bass Contour knob. Dial it back just a bit to tighten up your rhythm tones, or roll it back further to emphasize attack and presence. Or use it in conjunction with the standard tone control for mid-focused tones you normally couldn't achieve without an EQ or filter pedal.
Pure Tone jack: gig with confidence
The vast majority of guitar output jacks have just one single contact point for your cable's plug, resulting in a common point of signal failure over years of use. That's not the case with the Reverend Sensei RA's innovative jack by Pure Tone Technologies, which features dual contact points that grip your guitar cable's plug firmly. The last thing you need when you hit the stage is an intermittent signal caused by a worn-out jack, and that's one less thing you'll need to worry about thanks to the Sensei RA's Pure Tone jack.
