Reverend Charger HH Baked Orange review
The Reverend Charger HH Baked Orange is a solid-body electric guitar with a Korina body, a bolt-on roasted maple neck, and two Steelhead humbucking pickups. Its listed price is 1079. The specifications identify a conventional fixed-bridge layout rather than a tremolo-equipped design, along with a bass contour control that adds a dedicated adjustment to the standard volume and tone controls.
This review is based solely on the supplied specifications. No customer reviews are available, and there is no basis here for claims about playing feel, sound quality, tuning stability, setup, or workmanship. The listed release availability begins in June 2026. The item number is 644369.
Body and neck construction
The body is made from Korina and has no separate top listed. Its Baked Orange finish gives the model its name, while the hardware is chrome. The neck is roasted maple and attaches to the body with a bolt-on joint. Reverend specifies a medium oval neck profile, a rosewood fingerboard, and white dot inlays. These details identify the materials and general neck shape, but they do not establish how the guitar will feel in a particular player's hands.
The 305 mm (12-inch) fingerboard radius is a measurable part of the playing surface. The scale length is 648 mm (25.5 inches), and the nut width is 43 mm (1.69 inches). The nut material is Boneite. There are 22 medium jumbo frets. The supplied data does not give fret dimensions, neck thickness measurements, or factory setup details, so those aspects cannot be assessed from the specification sheet.
Pickups and controls
The HH designation is reflected in the pickup specification: two Steelhead humbuckers. A three-way toggle switch selects between pickup settings. The control layout includes volume and tone, plus a bass contour control. That additional control is the most distinctive detail in the listed electronics. Its presence is confirmed, but the available information does not explain its circuit, operating range, or how it interacts with the tone control.
There are no pickup output figures, magnet details, wiring diagrams, or descriptions of the switch positions. As a result, it would be speculative to assign particular tonal characteristics or claim that the pickups suit a specific genre. Players comparing this model with another guitar should treat the pickup names and control layout as useful identification, not as a substitute for an in-person test or recorded demonstration.
Bridge, tuning hardware, and included items
The bridge uses strings that pass through the body and an aluminum ferrule block. The guitar has Reverend pin-locking machine heads and no tremolo. This describes a fixed bridge arrangement; the specifications do not provide a bridge brand, adjustment range, or details about the locking mechanism beyond the machine heads being pin-locking. The listed factory string gauge is.010 to.046.
No case or gig bag is included. Buyers who need protective storage should account for that separately. The instrument is listed as one piece per sales unit. The supplied information gives no weight, overall dimensions, finish-care guidance, or country of manufacture.
What the specifications establish
- Construction: Korina body, no separate top listed, and a bolt-on roasted maple neck.
- Fingerboard: Rosewood with white dot inlays, a 305 mm (12-inch) radius, and 22 medium jumbo frets.
- Electronics: Two Steelhead humbuckers, volume and tone controls, a bass contour control, and a three-way toggle switch.
- Hardware: A through-body string bridge with an aluminum ferrule block, pin-locking machine heads, and chrome hardware.
- Included accessories: No case or gig bag.
Assessment
The Reverend Charger HH Baked Orange has a clearly defined specification set: a Korina body, roasted maple bolt-on neck, rosewood fingerboard, dual humbuckers, and a fixed bridge. Its bass contour control gives the control layout an extra adjustment beyond volume and tone, while the 25.5-inch scale and 43 mm nut width provide concrete dimensions for comparison with other instruments.
Those facts make the model straightforward to evaluate on paper, but they cannot answer questions about sound, comfort, setup, or build quality. There are no customer comments to summarize, and none should be inferred. Before buying, a player may want to verify the feel of the medium oval neck, audition the pickups and bass contour, and confirm storage needs, since neither a case nor a gig bag is included.
Shipping and duties
The retailer ships from its warehouse in Germany. Prices are shown in US dollars and do not include import duties. Orders under roughly $800 usually clear US customs without duty; above that, a duty of a few percent may be collected on delivery. 30-day money-back and a 3-year warranty apply.
