Distinctive American-designed guitar with korina body, three HA5 single-coil pickups, and signature bass contour knob for real-time low-end adjustment.
The Jetstream 390 is a masterclass in functional eccentricity. While many brands play it safe with traditional body shapes, Reverend leans into the resonant properties of Korina, providing a harmonically rich foundation that feels livelier and more touch-sensitive than standard mahogany. The three 9A5 P90s are the heart of this machine; they offer a gritty, muscular mid-range that bites through a dense mix without the ice-pick harshness often found in thinner single-coils.
The real magic lies in the passive Bass Contour control. This is Reverend's secret weapon, allowing you to re-voice the guitar on the fly by tightening the low-end to mimic the glassy chime of a vintage '60s single-coil or letting it wide open for thick, fuzzy stoner rock riffs. Playability is top-tier for this price bracket, featuring a roasted maple neck that feels silky and remains remarkably stable against humidity shifts.
Hardware choices like the Wilkinson WVS50 IIK tremolo and proprietary locking tuners ensure professional-grade tuning stability. While the offset aesthetic and non-traditional pickups might be a departure for purists, the ergonomic balance and tonal flexibility make it a premier choice for session players and indie rockers alike. It's a high-performance workhorse that successfully bridges the gap between boutique feel and assembly-line affordability.
