The latest addition to the Vernon Reid Signature lineup arrives decked out in sinister Satin Midnight Black. All the top-shelf features from the original Vernon Reid Totem Series are present: the Floyd Rose 1000 Series Pro trem, a fast and comfortable soft V neck, and ultra-responsive Railhammer Vernon Reid Signature pickups. Only this time, the aesthetic has gone dark. The mysterious vibe makes a statement before you hit the first chord!

While visually stunning, these instruments are also refined tools of the trade. The recipe of korina, ebony, and Railhammer pickups coupled with the sheer metallic mass of the Floyd Rose, serves up a tone best described as punchy! Harmonics pop, single notes sing, and chords ring with tasty overtones - delivering that knockout punch whether you’re playing clean funk or heavy rock. Now’s your chance to own a truly collectible art piece that sounds and plays as amazing as it looks!

UNIQUE FEATURES: 

- First Reverend model equipped with a Floyd Rose vibrato for the ultimate tuning stability.
- Slightly thinner body for comfort and light weight.
- Soft V neck profile feels solid yet fast.
- Ebony fingerboard for tight tone, and a smooth, fast feel.
