Reverend Guitars has launched a new generation of the company’s Kyle Shutt Signature solid body electric: the Reverend Kyle Shutt Mark 2 covers an extraordinarily broad range of sonic ground…just like its namesake artist.
As a founding member of The Sword – a band that has toured worldwide with acts such as Metallica, Lamb of God, Clutch, and Opeth – Shutt’s playing deftly shifts between heavy fuzz, classic crunch, and open cleans. Since the band’s 2003 inception in Austin, TX, The Sword has blown away audiences with their unique brand of stoner rock-meets-doom metal-meets-70s riff rock.
Shutt’s new Reverend model includes a pair of Railhammer Kyle Shutt Signature pickups that deliver a plethora of tones with ease. Outfitted with custom Diver Flag fret marker inlays and gold hardware, this guitar looks as good as it sounds.
It also includes a special Reverend feature for shaping your tone: the guitar’s Bass Contour control knob is a passive bass roll-off that’s perfect for tightening up the low end, or re-voicing the pickups. It can make a humbucker sound like a single-coil, or give a P-90 that classic twang. With this Bass Contour control you’ve got variable pickup voicing at your fingertips.
Other features include:
- Solid Korina body available in Ice White or Midnight Black finish
- Railhammer Kyle Shutt Signature bridge and neck pickups
- Electronic controls for bridge pickup volume, neck pickup volume, tone, bass contour control, and 3-way pickup selector
- Three-piece Korina neck with 22 frets, 24 3/4" scale length, medium oval neck profile and rosewood fingerboard with 12” radius
- Hardware includes Reverend Pin-Lock tuners and a tune-o-matic style bridge with stop tail piece
The Reverend Kyle Shutt Mark 2 electric carries a street price of $1499 and is available through any Reverend authorized dealer. For more information visit reverendguitars.com.
