Not a whole lot in the “guitar news” department this morning, though a few worthy links managed to find their way into my browser…
• Limited Edition Volcano – Reverend Guitars has busted out with a new Limited Edition of their low-cost, award winning Volcano––the aptly titled Volcano H90.
They’ve apparently swapped out the neck humbucker for a vintage-voiced P-90 (a GFS Mean 90 to be exact) dressed in a traditional humbucker form factor. Guitars are signed on the back of the headstock by Reverend President Joe Naylor. Strictly limited quantities available, and list price is running $769.
• Eastwood Tuxedo Copper – And while we’re on the subject of P-90s, Eastwood this week announced the addition of a new color option for its dual P-90 Airline Tuxedo model hollowbody.
The guitar, which is a tribute to the ’50s-era Kay Barney Kessel, is now available in Eastwood’s popular new Copper finish (see the high-res photos here.) Street price is still $849.
• EH Micro POG Demo – Last but not least, Dave Weiner has posted a new video demo of the Electro-Harmonix Micro POG over on YouTube, and it gives you a pretty good idea of what this diminutive pedal really has to offer.
I don’t know about you, but I particularly like what EH’s latest polyphonic octave generator can do with arpeggiated chords… super sweet.

Reverend does a good job, but I can’t deal with that headstock on a V body. Although there probably isn’t much left to do with V headstock shapes, without stepping on somebody else’s. Dean’s reverse with the wings works pretty well. Hard to figure why Rev decided to do a V body at this point in the game. Wonder how they’re selling? I like their stuff, but this is a weird limb to go out onto right now…

Stratoblogster, I couldn’t agree with you more. I went to the Reverend forums about 6 months ago (?) a started a new thread that basically said, “Reverend guitars are cool, but man I hate their headstocks.” Got a lot of interesting reactions, and a surprising number of subscribers that agreed with me…
Normally I like Reverend for their originality, but this guitar is not only not an original, it’s not done as well as the original.
