The Reverend Charger HH is here presented in Midnight Black with transparent Brown back and Roasted Maple fretboard. Effortlessly stylish and unmistakably a Reverend, the Charger is a core model from Reverend’s bolt-on neck electric guitar line. This latest model comes with a subtly slimmer body and two brand new Steelhead Humbucking pickups, combining the thick warmth of a vintage humbucker with the clarity and attack of a cutting-edge redesign.

The Reverend Charger is among the most recognisable guitars in Reverend’s range, beloved by players who want a simple guitar evocative of the earliest mid-century bolt-on’s. Part of Reverend’s appeal is a commitment to continuous development of their range, and this latest Charger HH is no exception. The familiar body has been ever-so-slightly slimmed down for increased comfort and lighter weight, while a new solid aluminum string block provides a stable and solid anchor for the strings, improving sustain, clarity, and tuning stability. The Roasted Maple neck is as good as ever, while a new “Charger” logo sits proud on the headstock.
Reverend have thoroughly overhauled their in-house humbucker, two of which are fitted to the Charger HH. The new Steelhead humbucker features oversize steel poles, and double magnet construction. The oversize poles boost upper frequency response and headroom, for enhanced harmonics and responsive pick attack. The wide magnetic field eliminates volume drop off when bending. The G and high E poles are slightly taller, for consistent volume string to string. An Alnico 5 magnet delivers smooth tone with shimmering highs. A second Ceramic magnet on the opposite side from the steel poles, boosts the bass response, making for a perfectly balanced tonal spectrum.
For ultimate control, the Charger HH is fitted with Reverend’s exclusive Bass Contour control. This allows you to passively roll off the bass frequencies, tightening the pickups’ response and making a humbucker sound much more like a single-coil. Because the control is potentiometer rather than switch activated, you effectively have an infinite level of control, allowing you to dial in your perfect tone.
As with all Reverend guitars, the Charger HH is built with premium components throughout, including those you can’t see. It uses more consistent ±10% tolerance pots and capacitors (rather than the ±20% parts found on most guitars), and a Pure Tone output jack with dual contacts for a firmer connection, better signal transfer, and improved reliability. A treble bleed circuit maintains clarity when rolling back the volume, while the boneite nut minimises friction, helping the strings glide smoothly through the nut slots for enhanced tuning stability.Classic sensibility meets modern engineering in the reimagined Reverend Charger HH.
