Left Handed Reverend Guitars

Wondering which left handed Reverend guitars and basses are currently available? You’re in the right place!

Reverend Guitars is an American guitar company, founded in 1996 by guitar and amp technician Joe Naylor. The company is widely known for its unconventional construction methods and retro-inspired designs.

They usually only offer three or four left-handed Reverend guitars at a time, but we do get new models each year which is really nice to see and helps to keep things fresh and exciting.

Occasionally the brand also offers limited edition models that are exclusive to specific stores. For example, a (gorgeous!) pink Jetstream 390 was previously available exclusively at Merchant City Music in the UK.

Does Reverend Make Left Handed Guitars?

Yes! At the time of writing there are 9 different left-handed Reverend guitars, including a single Reverend left-handed bass.

Left Handed Reverend Guitars

With the exception of the Billy Corgan model, all Reverend left handed guitars feature Korina bodies, a signature characteristic on Reverend instruments since 2007. Korina (also known as white limba) is a relatively lightweight wood and is highly sought after for its excellent resonance and consistent weight. The resonant nature of Korina contributes to guitars which generally have a lively, responsive tone that is rich in harmonics.

All Reverend guitars also utilize a ‘Boneite‘ nut. This synthetic bone nut is claimed to be more consistent than traditional bone options, and also increases tuning stability by reducing friction.

In addition, they feature Reverend’s in-house custom pickups, that are specifically designed and voiced to perfectly complement each individual instrument. I’ve tried to include a video link for each guitar so that you can hear each model in action.

Double Agent OG

The Double Agent OG pairs the power of a bridge humbucker with the sweeter tone of a P90 in the neck, which when combined gives a unique depth-meets-twang vibe!

Reverend’s bass contour control allows you to tighten up the lower end, or give the bridge humbucker a sound closer to a single-coil pickup. Completely change the tone of the guitar in just one quick turn!

• Body : Korina

Reverend Website

Reverend recently revamped their website and this has made it slightly more difficult to find the left handed models. Where there used to be a clearly defined left-handed section, the southpaw models are now mixed in with their right-handed brethren. Not to fret though as they’re still pretty easy to spot!

There is also a left handed filter that you can use to find the lefty models. When browsing guitars, hit the ‘specs’ menu item and you’ll find a ‘lefty’ filter in the dropdown menu.
