Reverend Guitars Roundhouse 290 Metallic Bronze — Modern Sound, Timeless Feel

The Reverend Guitars Roundhouse 290 Metallic Bronze combines single-cut tradition with advanced engineering for today’s musician. Players who appreciate vintage aesthetics and reliable, forward-thinking design will find a solid korina body and carved maple top at its core. Comfort is enhanced by a slimmer profile and sculpted rear contour, ensuring fatigue-free sessions. The model's resonance and crisp attack stand out both live and in the studio. As a flagship instrument, the Roundhouse 290 Metallic Bronze is tuned for expressiveness and tonal depth.

What Stands Out About the Roundhouse 290

Reverend’s Steelhead P-90 pickups are purpose-built for hum-free, wide-range performance. Their pairing with lightweight korina and an ebony fretboard yields quick response and ergonomic comfort. Adjusting the bass contour knob unlocks single-coil sparkle or a fuller sound on demand.

Construction & Tonewoods: Resonance and Stability

Material selection defines both the instrument’s tone and feel. Korina is used for the body and three-piece set neck, producing a harmonically rich platform, while the carved maple top brings clarity to every note.

• Body Material:Solid korina — offers bold, mahogany-like warmth and comfort for extended play
• Top Material:Carved maple — adds brightness and definition for expressive phrasing
• Neck:3-piece korina, medium oval profile — set neck ensures stability and enduring sustain

Fingerboard & Playability: Comfort Meets Expression

Designed for both smooth chord transitions and nimble solos, every element supports a refined playing experience. Ergonomic contours and a sleek ebony fingerboard grant players effortless access across the range.

• Fingerboard:Ebony, 12" (305 mm) radius — delivers a fast feel and accurate note separation
• Frets:22, nickel alloy, 0.11" x 0.05" (2.8 x 1.3 mm) — medium-jumbo size encourages easy bending
• Scale Length:629 mm — creates a slinky feel for expressive vibrato

Pickups & Controls: Versatility Without Compromise

Steelhead P-90s in this model provide vintage grit with modern clarity and no 60-cycle hum. Flexible electronics, including bass contour and treble bleed, offer a broad tonal palette for any genre.

• Pickups:2 x Reverend Steelhead P-90s — hum-cancelling, high-output single coils bring classic and modern tones
• The controls (volume, tone, bass contour, 3-way toggle) make it simple to dial in everything from crisp to fat, punchy sounds.
• Bridge:Tune-O-Matic with stop tail — ensures tuning stability and lasting sustain

Who Will Love the Roundhouse 290 Metallic Bronze

Guitarists who require both comfort for long gigs and versatile electronics will appreciate this model’s adaptability. It suits rock, blues, indie, and more. The lightweight build favors performers, while advanced features satisfy professionals.
