Frequently Asked Questions
The Railhammers are hotter and have a more aggressive, compressed response, lending a thicker, more saturated tone than Reverend's stock pickups.
It's a satin finish, providing a smooth, fast feel without excessive stickiness, which is a common characteristic of roasted maple necks.
The bass contour is a mid-cut control that can tame the low-end frequencies, adding clarity and definition, especially useful for heavier distortion.
