Description
The Reverend Kyle Shutt Signature electric guitar is the result of close collaboration between an artist and a company chomping at the bit to forge new ground in design and tone. This sealed semi-hollowbody electric guitar features an asymmetrical center block that lets you move easily between clean and high-volume, gritty rock. The Kyle Shutt Signature electric guitar boasts a korina body with a maple top; this tonewood combination yields unique sonic properties an upfront midrange, snappy treble, and a solid low-end foundation. The 3-piece korina neck and rosewood fingerboard offer smooth playability and delicious response. When you plug in, uniquely voiced Railhammer Kyle Shutt Signature pickups kick out huge tones that are balanced and versatile. To keep you in tune even when you are really digging in, this stunning signature axe is outfitted with a Tune-o-matic bridge with a stoptail tailpiece ideal for killer sustain.
Ultra-smooth, comfortable set neck
The 3-piece korina neck on the Kyle Shutt Signature guitar has been cut to a medium oval profile for a comfortable feel in your hand that makes lead runs and chords up and down the rosewood fingerboard extra smooth. Many guitarists here appreciate a set-neck design due to its warmer tone and sensitive response. And with a dual-action truss rod, you can adjust it in both directions, allowing back bow or forward bow to suit your preferred action. The dual-action design also means correct adjustment range is possible regardless of string tension, changes in climate conditions, or the effects of long-term aging!
Tone, tone, tone!
Reverend Guitars founder Joe Naylor is a tone junkie who is constantly working and reworking body and pickup designs to maximize sonic goodness. A bona fide prodigy, Joe not only founded Reverend Guitars in 1997 but also Railhammer pickups in 2012! For this signature electric guitar, Joe designed these Railhammer Kyle Shutt Signature pickups. These unique pickups feature rails under the wound strings that keep the lows tight and thick, while traditional poles are found under the plain strings for fat highs. The high-output Kyle Shutt Neck humcutter delivers classic P-90 tone without any hum. And the Kyle Shutt Bridge humbucker is akin to a Railhammer Hyper Vintage pickup but with smoother highs and a thicker tone overall ideal for when you need a versatile pickup that can deliver fat cleans, classic crunch, or fuzz-laced/high-gain riffing. Controls for bridge volume, neck volume, tone, and bass contour and a 3-way pickup selector switch let you shape your tone even further! The bass contour control lets you dial your low end back slightly to tighten up your rhythm tones, or you can roll it back further to emphasize attack and presence. You can also use it in conjunction with the standard tone control for mid-focused tones you normally couldnt achieve without an EQ or a filter pedal!
