GAS issue: Please cure me!!
« on: September 07, 2008, 06:07:36 PM »

Please give me reasons NOT to buy this Reverend Volcano

http://www.reverendguitars.com/reverend/guitars/set_neck_series/volcano.html

I LOVE the looks SO MUCH, and it seems to play and sound rather well too...

Please give me reasons to not do it.

You can't sit down and play it very well.

... umm, can't think of anything else.

It's korina, it looks cool, it has a set neck and a nifty Firebird raised bit in the middle.  It even has locking tuners.  :)

There are only two reasons not to buy it:

1. The headstock shape doesn't really suit the body.

2. The Ron Asheton Signature is possibly even cooler.

I think even the headstock rocks much harder than Gibsons actually ...

The Ron Asheton I have seen, but three BKPs 90s style makes it a very expensive toy ...

I'd rathe get the humbucker version and put a MQ in the neck.

Would you be able to play anything on this guitar that you couldn't play on those you already have?

Reviews on Harmony central suggest its a nice instrument.  Only thing they said that a bit odd is the tuners have two holes. They suggest this does not work great, however they can be used using just one hole in a tradional fashion.
Heres the link:-

I should stop looking they even do  a left handed model and geting ideas  tends to work out costly on my wallet.

I don't think a traditional V shaped headstock would work, but maybe something similar to a Schecter Avenger would (pretty irrelevant, since Reverend aren't about to change it....  :roll: ):

The output jack is in a strange place, it would be awkward to put your cable through your strap and into the jack for live playing...

That's all I've got.
