Reverend Guitars Kingbolt Air HH Black Sparkle — Semi-hollow Brilliance and Modern Flexibility

The Reverend Guitars Kingbolt Air HH Black Sparkle stands out as a next-generation semi-hollow electric, combining classic aesthetics with modern sound-shaping power.

This model is engineered to inspire both on stage and in the studio, offering nuanced tones and outstanding comfort for any playing style.

Modern Features, Classic Feel

Exclusive Steelhead humbuckers, designed with oversized steel poles and dual magnets (Alnico 5 plus ceramic), deliver extended headroom, balanced output, and articulate pick attack. The Bass Contour control passively rolls off low frequencies, transforming thick humbucker sounds into tight single-coil-like tones with infinite precision. Premium components such as the Boneite nut, Reverend pin-lock tuners, and Wilkinson WVS50 IIK tremolo further distinguish it in its segment.

Body and Resonance — Expressive Semi-Hollow Design

Semi-hollow construction means enhanced sustain, reduced weight, and greater resonance for expressive leads or sparkling cleans. Punchy rhythm sections and airy textures become easily accessible due to this body design.
