Reverend Pete Anderson Eastsider T SBK

Reverend Pete Anderson Eastsider T SBK review

The Reverend Pete Anderson Eastsider T SBK is a Pete Anderson signature guitar built around a T-style layout. Its specification combines a chambered Korina body with a bolt-on Korina neck, a roasted maple fingerboard, two Reverend Talnico single-coil pickups, and a fixed, string-through-body bridge. The listed price is 1090. The available details support a close look at its construction and controls, but they do not include player impressions or customer reviews. Any assessment here is therefore limited to the documented features.

Body and neck construction

The body is chambered Korina, and the neck is also made from Korina. Chambering is a defining construction detail, though the supplied specifications do not state the chamber layout or the guitar's weight. It would be unwise to assume how either factor affects balance or acoustic response without measurements or a hands-on assessment.

The bolt-on neck has a medium oval profile and a roasted maple fingerboard. That profile description gives a general indication of the neck's shape, but it does not provide measurements for neck depth or width at specific frets. The nut is 43 mm wide and made from Boneite. Black dot inlays mark the fingerboard, which has a compound radius that changes from 254 mm to 356 mm, equivalent to 10 to 14 inches. The supplied information does not specify the fret material or fret dimensions.

The 648 mm scale length, also listed as 25.5 inches, is paired with 22 frets. These measurements offer a useful basis for comparing the guitar with other instruments, but they do not establish how it will feel in a player's hands. String gauge is listed as.010 to.046.

Pickups and controls

Two Reverend Talnico single-coil pickups provide the guitar's pickup configuration. The controls consist of one volume control, one tone control with a push-pull phase-reversal function, and a three-way pickup selector. The phase-reversal feature changes the relationship between the pickups' signals when engaged. The documentation does not detail the resulting sounds or specify which pickup combinations produce each selector position, so those details need to be checked on the instrument itself.

The control set keeps the listed electronics relatively straightforward while adding a switching option through the push-pull tone control. No pickup output measurements, wiring diagram, or tone-control component values are provided. As a result, the specifications identify the available hardware and switching function, but cannot establish output level, frequency response, or how the guitar responds through a particular amplifier.

Bridge, hardware, and finish

A fixed bridge anchors the strings through the body. This is distinct from a tremolo system, which the specification explicitly lists as absent. Reverend pin-lock machine heads are fitted, along with chrome hardware. These details identify the bridge and tuning-machine designs, but the supplied information does not describe saddle adjustment range, tuning ratio, or setup condition.

The finish is matte black, reflected in the SBK model designation. There is no separate top listed. A case and gig bag are both excluded, so buyers should account for a separate purchase if they need storage or transport protection. The guitar is listed as available since June 2026, with item number 642187 and a sales unit of one piece.

Technical assessment

The Eastsider T SBK's clearest points of distinction in the supplied specifications are its chambered Korina body, matching Korina neck, compound-radius roasted maple fingerboard, and push-pull phase-reversal control. Its fixed bridge and two single-coil pickups give a clear outline of the design, while the available information leaves important practical questions unanswered. There are no stated weight, neck-depth, pickup-output, or setup measurements, and no customer feedback is available to draw on.

That makes this a specification-based assessment rather than a report on playing experience. Buyers comparing the guitar should verify its weight, neck feel, pickup switching, and setup in person where possible. They should also confirm current pricing and availability with the seller, since the listed price and June 2026 availability date are the only purchasing details supplied. Based on the documented features alone, it is a signature T-style model with a defined set of construction and control specifications, not enough evidence to make claims about sound quality or performance.
