The midrange punch and clarity of a soapbar pickup with a hot rod sound at the push of a button between the volume and tone knobs. There's a push-pull switch in the tone knob for an out-of-phase option.
The Reverend Greg Koch Gristle 90 is a unique crossover piece that combines the original Gristlemaster with the attributes of a 24 3/4" scale length guitar, including the 3-piece Korina neck with a tilt-back headstock and Bigsby B50 with roller bridge. This guitar is available in Midnight Black, Venetian Gold, and Bradford Beach Blue.
Greg Koch is one of the industry's leading demo artists and guitar influencers. He also has his power blues band, the Koch Marshall Trio, that tours the globe. People may best know Greg for his appearances with Wildwood Guitars, his daily live Facebook videos, or his podcast, Chewing the Gristle.
Like all Reverend Guitars, this guitar has a Korina body. A Boneite nut and locking tuners and a dual-action truss rod are all for maximum performance. You can't be different if you're playing what everyone else is.

Slayer guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman formed the original searing 6-string front line of the most brutal band in the land. Together, they created an aggressive mood of malcontent with high-velocity thrash riffs and screeching solos that’ll slice your speaker cones. The only way to create a band more brutal than Slayer would be to animate them, and that’s exactly what Metalocalypse (and Home Movies) creator Brendon Small did.
From his first listen, Small has been a lifetime devotee and thrash-metal expert, so we invited him to help us break down what makes Slayer so great. Together, we dissect King and Hanneman’s guitar styles and list their angriest, most brutal songs, as well as those that create a mood of general horribleness.

At 26, Blu DeTiger is the youngest musician ever to have a signature Fender bass guitar. The Fender Limited Player Plus x Blu DeTiger Jazz Bass, announced in September, pays tribute to the bassist and singer’s far-reaching impact and cultural sway. She’s played with Caroline Polachek, Bleachers, FLETCHER, Olivia Rodrigo, and more, and released her own LP in March 2024. In 2023, Forbes feature her on their top 30 Under 30 list of musicians. So how did DeTiger work her way to the top?
DeTiger opens up on this episode of Wong Notes about her career so far, which started at a School of Rock camp at age seven. That’s where she started performing and learning to gig with others—she played at CBGB’s before she turned 10. DeTiger took workshops with Victor Wooten at Berklee followed and studied under Steven Wolf, but years of DJing around New York City, which hammered in the hottest basslines in funk and disco, also imprinted on her style. (Larry Graham is DeTiger’s slap-bass hero.)
DeTiger and Wong dish on the ups and downs of touring and session life, collaborating with pop artists to make “timeless” pop songs, and how to get gigs. DeTiger’s advice? “You gotta be a good hang.”
