As Reverend expands its array of offset 6-strings, the Spy emerges from the company’s design house in Toledo, Ohio, to supercharge your setup with expert aural espionage. With a profile anchored to Reverend’s hallmark korina-body construction, joined by a roasted maple neck and rosewood fretboard, the Spy is teeming with tenacious tone-crafting capabilities, built to balance speed, control, and precision. Its Power Tube lipstick-style pickups pack a powerful punch, while the iconic Bass Contour control is complemented by a Studio Switch, enamoring our gigging guitarists with the Spy’s flexible yet focused palette. Add in the Pin-lock tuners, an eye-grabbing pickguard, and an evocative Wilkinson tremolo, and the Reverend Spy is a seriously stylish 6-string that remains exceptionally versatile and unrelenting in its force of sonic possibilities to explore.

Classic tonewoods and timeless foundations

At Reverend, a robust sonic identity is everything; it’s what gives each instrument the company produces its instantly recognizable and powerful presence, no matter how it’s configured. The Spy continues the tradition of Reverend’s time-tested build choices that serve these ends, utilizing the resonant, balanced, and full-bodied sounds of a korina body as its tonal cornerstone. The roasted maple neck builds on this foundation by imbuing your sound with smoldering heat, spectrum-spanning brilliance, and natural note-separating capabilities that ensure every chord, lick, lead, and solo is voiced with exacting precision. The rosewood fretboard completes the Spy’s tonewood trio, enshrining your output with a shimmering crystalline veneer, taming cloying highs, expanding lows, and reinforcing mids, giving you depth and dimension that never compromises definition.

Custom-crafted lipstick sonics

As an ode to a classic Reverend USA model, the Spy’s suite of circuitry draws from the pinnacle of Reverend’s guitar-building expertise, endowing this 6-string with Reverend’s Power Tube pickups — a triumvirate of lipstick-style, single-coil sound shaping. These pickups are revered for delivering tones that are bright, articulate, reactive, and maintain their character under myriad clean-to-dirty gain configurations. Reverend’s innovative engineering led to masterfully studying and tweaking the formula that was laid out via vintage designs. While older models often lacked presence and punch, the Reverend Power Tubes boast a stronger, ceramic magnet and a greater number of coil winds, balancing the character that defined them with the harder-hitting heat modern players crave. Plus, the middle pickup features a RWRP hum-canceling design, and the Tone control knob’s push-pull functionality acts as a Studio Switch, which — when combined with the Bass Contour knob and 5-way pickup selector — collectively guarantees a wealth of detailed tone-shaping tools are always on tap.

Engineered for road-grade performance possibilities

Like its US-built precursor, this Spy was built to be powerful and pliable, morphing from nimble to gnarly whenever you need it. The Medium Oval profile of the bolt-on neck dovetails into a stylish single-cutaway design, with 22 frets sprawling the fretboard’s 12-inch radius and 25.5-inch scale, collectively accommodating players of numerous styles with exacting support. What’s more, the use of roasted maple in the neck means it has an increased dimensional stability over non-roasted varieties, giving you richer tones and an enhanced resistance to twisting and warping — the perfect road warrior. The Boneite nut and locking tuners ensure you stay buzz-free and unwaveringly consistent with your tones and tunes, while the Wilkinson WVS50IIK tremolo unlocks otherworldly waves of pitch-warping wizardry.
