Reverend Guitars Charger JR Metallic Cherry: Expressive Simplicity, Modern Craft

The Reverend Guitars Charger JR Metallic Cherry is a striking electric guitar crafted for musicians who desire punchy, dynamic tones and smooth playability. Built with a solid Korina body and a roasted maple neck, the Charger JR balances vintage character with advanced performance features. A single Steelhead P90 bridge pickup gives it a unique voice that blends bite, warmth, and clarity. Its metallic cherry finish, back-sprayed pickguard, and the contemporary Charger headstock logo create a bold, modern appearance. This instrument is tailored for players seeking simplicity paired with powerful sonic capabilities.

Distinctive Features for a Unique Player Experience

Focusing on tone and reliability sets the Charger JR Metallic Cherry apart. The proprietary Steelhead P90 bridge pickup offers hum-cancelling performance with enough output for driving amps, while articulation remains clear. Roasted maple in the neck increases stability, minimizes seasonal adjustment, and imparts both comfort and a rich caramel color. Sustain and tuning consistency are maximized by the string-thru-body bridge with an aluminum ferrule block, supporting reliability even during demanding performances.

Body & Construction: Built for Tone

Korina wood forms the core of this model’s sound, delivering a lively, harmonically rich response that remains lightweight. Thanks to the string-thru-body design, the guitar projects and sustains notes exceptionally well, making it an excellent choice for expressive leads and rhythm work.

• Body Material:Korina solidbody — prized for resonance and reduced weight
• Enhanced sustain and consistent tuning stability come from the string-thru-body bridge with aluminum ferrule block.
• Finish:Gloss polyurethane, metallic cherry — vibrant look with thin, UV-cured layer

Neck & Playability: Smooth and Stable

The roasted maple neck provides a comfortable, stable foundation for advanced and expressive playing. Its medium oval profile and 12" (305 mm) fingerboard radius make both fast runs and complex chords easy to execute, while the Boneite nut and Reverend pin-lock tuners secure tuning through performances.

• Neck:Roasted maple, medium oval profile — lightweight, strong, and visually distinctive
• Fingerboard:Rosewood or roasted maple, 305 mm radius

Electronics & Controls: Versatile Simplicity

This instrument’s single pickup configuration, paired with a 3-way tone switch (warm/normal/bright), offers surprising versatility in a minimalist setup. The Steelhead P90 shines in gritty rock and blues, and the tone circuit with treble bleed keeps clarity at every volume.
