Reverend Guitars Descent Purple Punch: Baritone Power, Modern Feel

What distinguishes this baritone electric is its ability to blend low-tuned muscle with the familiar comfort of a standard guitar. The unique marriage of a solid korina body and a 679 mm roasted maple neck suits guitarists who want thunderous lows without sacrificing playability. Designed with Railhammer Chisel pickups and a bass contour circuit, it satisfies those seeking both clarity and punch. Built as a focused platform for B-standard tuning and extended range, this model caters to ambitious players.

Features for Discerning Musicians

Enhanced neck stability comes from roasted maple, while a lightweight korina body delivers consistent tone. Boutique-grade electronics—such as ±10% poly caps and custom pots—guarantee reliable performance and signal purity. The inclusion of a bass contour knob and treble bleed circuit allows for nuanced sound sculpting absent from most baritones.

Deep Tone and Playability—Materials and Hardware

Professional musicians value instruments that excel in feel and sound, and this baritone achieves both through careful material selection and hardware upgrades.

• Scale Length:679 mm — Delivers extended range for low B tuning and firm string tension
• Body Material:Korina — Lightweight, resonant wood keeps the instrument vibrant and balanced
• For neck material, roasted maple resists warping and climatic shifts, boasting a fast medium oval profile for smooth performance.

Pickups and Controls—Modern Clarity, Classic Punch

Railhammer Chisel humbuckers use rail and pole pieces for clarity on wound strings and detailed trebles. With a 3-way switch, bass contour, and traditional tone and volume, dialing in your perfect sound—whether for heavy riffing or expressive leads—is effortless.

• Pickups:Railhammer Chisel (Neck & Bridge) — Punchy chords with reduced muddiness
• Bass Contour Circuit:Yes — Adjust the low end for rhythm or leads
• Bridge:String-thru-body with aluminum ferrule block — Boosts sustain and attack

Fingerboard, Frets, and Ergonomics

Rosewood fingerboard and a medium oval neck profile ease chord work and melodic passages, while 22 medium jumbo frets and a dual-action truss rod allow for fast, reliable setup.

• Fingerboard:Rosewood, 305 mm radius — Enables smooth bends and even feel
• Frets:22 (0.110" x 0.050") — Modern wire size for easy bends and accurate intonation
• The nut width of 43 mm (Boneite) contributes to stable tuning and effortless playability.

Who Will Benefit Most

Players seeking baritone depth without unwieldy size or awkward ergonomics will appreciate this instrument. Studio layering and modern live genres are supported by the clarity and comfort on offer. Guitarists transitioning from standard models will find the feel familiar and the tonal palette inspiring.
