Reverend Manta Ray 290

By 2012, New Release No Comments

Reverend updates the Manta Ray 290 with new Flame Maple tops (Tobacco Burst and Turquoise). Warm and sweet, with the acoustic richness and complex overtones only a full size semi-hollow can deliver. The bridge pickup is slightly hotter than a vintage soapbar, and the neck pickup slightly cleaner. Round enough for jazz, but this ray can sting too, with plenty of sustain and attack for rock and blues! P-90’s add a raw upper-mid edge and percussive attack to the recipe. The 1-3/4″ thick body and flat top gives it a clean, fresh look, and yields a slim and manageable body.
