The Reverend Bob Balch Signature electric guitar lets you tap into the thick, fuzz-drenched tone that Bob Balch has used for over 20 years as guitarist for Fu Manchu. Built on Reverend´s acclaimed Sensei platform, the Bob Balch Signature model features beveled body edges and a chamber under the pickguard for enhanced resonance.
Premium Pickups for a Fuzz-Friendly Foundation
At the heart of the Bob Balch Signature´s sound are a pair of Railhammer Bob Balch Signature pickups. Wound to Bob´s exacting specifications, these pickups deliver a hot, yet articulate tone with rich midrange ideal for fuzz and overdrive. The bridge pickup provides tight lows and crisp highs, while the neck pickup is warmer and rounder. A three-way selector switch lets you access each pickup individually or blend them together.
Ergonomic Korina Body and Neck
The Bob Balch Signature´s solid korina body is contoured for playing comfort, with bevels along the edges and rear. Korina, a medium-light hardwood, provides an ideal balance of warmth, clarity and sustain. The set-in korina neck has an oval profile that feels substantial yet fast. Its 12" radius rosewood fingerboard has 22 medium-jumbo frets for expressive lead work and intricate chords.
Versatile Hardware for Dynamic Performance
Equipped with a Wilkinson tremolo bridge, the Bob Balch Signature delivers shimmering pitch bends and warbles. Locking tuners provide rock-solid intonation no matter how aggressively you use the tremolo. Volume and tone knobs, along with a three-way pickup selector, give you total control over the guitar´s sound. With premium components inspired by Bob Balch´s pursuit of the ultimate rock guitar tone, the Reverend Bob Balch Signature will take your playing to heady new heights.
