Seven versatile pickup combinations
The Kingbolt H290 is equipped with a Steelhead humbucker in the bridge and Steelhead P90 pickups in the middle and neck positions, creating an exceptionally broad tonal palette. The five-way selector is joined by Reverend's Studio Switch, unlocking seven unique pickup combinations including neck-and-bridge and all three pickups together. This allows effortless movement between powerful humbucker tones, articulate P90 character, and distinctive blended voices that combine clarity, punch, and sparkle, making the guitar adaptable to virtually any musical style.
Comfortable design with lively tone
A lightweight korina body provides the lively resonance, balanced response, and rich harmonic character that have become hallmarks of Reverend guitars. Reverend's thin UV-cured finish allows the body to vibrate more freely, enhancing sustain and responsiveness while maintaining excellent durability. The roasted maple neck undergoes a specialised heat treatment that improves long-term stability while giving it an attractive vintage appearance. Combined with the comfortable Medium Oval profile, it creates an effortless playing experience across the entire fingerboard.
Performance-focused tremolo system
The Wilkinson WVS50 IIK tremolo offers smooth vibrato with impressive tuning stability thanks to locking saddles, adjustable arm tension, and a push-in arm with no free play. Reverend's innovative Vari-Claw system allows quick adjustment between a firmer three-spring setup or a softer two-spring feel with minimal effort. Pin-Lock tuners, the Boneite nut, Triple-Tree string tree, and six-bolt neck plate further enhance tuning consistency, sustain, and neck stability, ensuring the guitar performs reliably through even the most expressive playing styles.
Engineered for dependable reliability
Every component of the Kingbolt H290 has been selected with long-term performance in mind. The Bass Contour control lets you tighten the low end or reshape the pickups into brighter, leaner voices, greatly expanding the instrument's tonal range. Premium Alpha control pots, polyester capacitors, a Pure Tone output jack, reinforced steel jack plate, and treble bleed circuit ensure dependable operation while preserving clarity throughout the volume range. Every guitar is hand-initialled and serial numbered by the technician responsible for its final setup and inspection, reflecting Reverend's commitment to quality craftsmanship.
