A fantastic bridge between a baritone and a standard guitar
The Descent W sounds just as good as it looks, thanks to Cleancut and Nuevo 90 humcutting pickups at the neck and the bridge, respectively. Designed for a hum-free, solid vintage sound, you'll discover a satisfying low baritone boost to your normal guitar sound once you tune down to B standard. All of Reverend's pickups are engineered to maintain good tone and volume balance when selecting between them, and the consistency of the Descent W is no exception. Furthermore, the 26.75-inch neck adds a bit of length, without straying too far from the comfortable feel of a regular guitar — so you won't feel like you're lugging around a giant bass! If you're looking for more or less thump to complement your strong baritone sound, the convenient bass roll-off knob lets you craft your perfect low-end tone with ease. Are you seeking brighter tones while taking some volume off the top? Reverend's treble bleed technology preserves your sound by maintaining your treble, even when decreasing the master volume.
Internal reliability and electronic quality
You'll find just as much quality in the internal electronics as you'll find from an outside glance of the Descent W. Reverend's rule of thumb is ±10% when it it comes to their polyester caps and alpha control pots. This level of engineering is normally found on boutique guitars, but it's a standard for every Reverend guitar, including the Descent W. Another Reverend staple is an upgraded jack by Pure Tone Technologies, built dependably with two contacts that provide a better overall grip and a reliable signal.
