The Reverend Contender 290 mixes classic retro with a modern feel. This flat-rop, single-cut guitar features a set neck and a strategic chamber under the pickguard that increases resonance and reduces weight. Equipped with a pair of 9A5 pickups for fat raw and bluesy tones, the Contender 290 delivers enough bite to cut through any mix. Additional features include a solid korina body, a korina neck with Medium Oval profile, pau ferro fingerboard, pin-lock tuners and a treble-bleed circuit to preserve treble even when volume is lowered.
