This Gristle ST BL is a real character guitar – Reverend’s taken a classic ST shape and injected it with some seriously cool ideas. The Korina chambering and Fishman pickups give it a warm, punchy tone with a vintage vibe, and the blend control opens up some unique voicing possibilities. It's perfect for players who want a distinctive, expressive instrument for blues, rock, and roots music.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Gristle pickups have a thicker, warmer, and more articulate tone than typical Fender single coils, with less brittle high-end and a more pronounced midrange.
The Wilkinson tremolo is generally quite stable, but it's not a floating trem; it's designed for subtle vibrato and occasional dive bombs rather than extreme use.
Roasted maple is kiln-dried, which stabilizes the neck, making it less susceptible to humidity changes and improving overall playability and long-term stability.
