Detail 01
Greasy T bridge pickup
It is the source of the fat, biting, percussive bridge sound.

Independent shopping perspective
Pickup balance is the central idea behind the Reverend Buckshot. Its Greasy T bridge pickup brings a fat, biting attack with a percussive edge, while the Retroblast at the neck is voiced full and warm without the weight of a full-sized humbucker. Reverend places that neck pickup slightly farther from the neck to bring it closer to the bridge pickup in output and tone. The Venetian Pearl version targets a thicker, more flexible take on vintage twang.
