Reverend Kingbolt F-Sonic High Tide Blue: Advanced Offset Versatility

Among alternative body electrics, the Reverend Kingbolt F-Sonic High Tide Blue fuses semi-hollow richness with the power of a solidbody design. Its korina body with through-body F-holes, roasted maple neck, and custom pickup pairing gives this model a sound adaptable to both contemporary and vintage styles. Gigging guitarists and studio players will appreciate the tuning stability, dynamic control, and ergonomic feel. With its High Tide Blue finish and detailed construction, the Kingbolt F-Sonic inspires creativity for the stage and studio. Players who want both resonance and versatility in an offset will find this instrument a compelling choice.

Signature Design: Semi-hollow Meets Solidbody

Uniquely, the Kingbolt F-Sonic's korina construction features a raised center and thin wings, delivering semi-hollow resonance plus solidbody punch. Through-body F-holes combined with a roasted maple neck and fingerboard respond quickly and stay stable. These design touches are rarely combined in this segment and provide comfort as well as tonal complexity.

The Railhammer Hyper Vintage (bridge) and Nuevo 90 (neck) pickups cover everything from vintage warmth to crisp, modern tones. Bass Contour and treble bleed controls expand your tonal range.
