Reverend

Description

The Reverend Roundhouse 290 electric guitar gives the single-cut platform a lighter, more ergonomic feel while keeping the punch and attitude players expect from a dual-P90 design. Its korina solidbody and solid maple archtop create a resonant foundation with a crisp attack, while the thinner body and rear belly contour make the guitar more comfortable for long rehearsals, recording sessions and sets. A pair of Reverend Steelhead P90 pickups delivers P90 snap, grit and harmonic edge with hum-canceling performance, giving the Roundhouse 290 a strong voice for rock, indie, roots, punk and studio work. Add in an ebony fingerboard, Bass Contour control, Reverend pin-lock tuners and a three-piece korina neck, and this Roundhouse becomes a modern single-cut built for players who want P90 character with Reverend’s practical control system.

Thinner Roundhouse Body With Arched Maple Top

The Roundhouse 290 uses a korina solidbody with a solid maple archtop, pairing Reverend’s lively body wood with added snap and definition from the top. The body is slimmer than earlier Roundhouse designs, which helps reduce weight and makes the guitar feel more comfortable during extended playing. A sculpted rear belly contour improves the way the guitar sits against the player, giving the Roundhouse 290 a more modern feel while preserving the visual strength of an arched-top single-cut.

Steelhead P90 Pickups With Hum-Canceling Performance

Reverend’s Steelhead P90 pickups give the Roundhouse 290 a punchy, direct sound with strong attack and rich harmonic content. They are designed to deliver true P90-style snap and grit while canceling hum, making the guitar more practical for stage and studio environments where noise can become a problem. The bridge pickup hits with sharper bite for riffs and leads, while the neck pickup brings rounder warmth for chords, melody lines and cleaner textures.

Bass Contour for Twang, Punch and Tighter Lows

The Bass Contour knob gives the Roundhouse 290 a wider tonal sweep than a typical dual-P90 control layout. Rolling it back reduces low end and can push the pickups toward leaner, twangier textures, while leaving it open gives the guitar more full-bodied punch. Combined with volume, tone, a 3-way selector and a treble bleed circuit, the electronics make it easy to move from raw P90 grind to tighter rhythm tones without changing guitars.

Ebony Fingerboard and Three-Piece Neck Stability

The ebony fingerboard adds a fast, smooth feel and contributes to the guitar’s tight attack. Its 12" radius and 22 frets give players room for bends, double-stops and lead work while still feeling comfortable for chord playing. The three-piece korina neck adds stiffness and stability, and the medium oval profile gives the Roundhouse 290 a familiar feel that works across rhythm and lead styles. A dual-action truss rod with headstock access supports precise setup adjustments over time.

Reverend Hardware for Reliable Everyday Use

Reverend pin-lock tuners, a Boneite nut and a TOM bridge with stop tailpiece work together to support tuning stability, sustain and clean intonation. The thin UV-cured finish helps the body resonate freely, while the Pure Tone jack, steel jack plate, custom dome knobs, Alpha pots and polyester capacitors give the guitar dependable control and signal integrity. Complete with vibrant finishes, violin brown backs and Reverend’s hand-initialed headstock detail, the Reverend Roundhouse 290 electric guitar is built for players who want single-cut comfort, P90 bite and practical modern reliability.
