Reverend Greg Koch Signature Gristle 90 Electric Guitar

The Reverend Greg Koch Signature Gristle 90 is what happens when vintage inspiration meets modern innovation. Designed in collaboration with acclaimed guitarist Greg Koch, this unique instrument combines the familiar feel of a T-style guitar with the warmth, sustain, and character of a set-neck design. The result is a guitar that delivers exceptional versatility, inspiring tone, and unmistakable personality.

Built around a chambered Korina body and a three-piece Korina set neck, the Gristle 90 offers a lively, resonant response with impressive sustain. The shorter 24.75-inch scale length gives the guitar a slightly slinkier feel under the fingers while adding a touch of warmth and thickness to every note.

Fishman Gristle 90 Pickups

At the heart of the Gristle 90 is a pair of custom Fishman Greg Koch Gristle 90 pickups. Developed through a collaboration between Reverend founder Joe Naylor and Fishman, these pickups capture the punch, clarity, and attitude of a great P90 while remaining remarkably quiet. Players get all the grit, growl, and articulation associated with classic soapbar pickups without the noise typically found in traditional designs.

A dedicated midrange boost adds extra punch for solos and overdriven tones, while a push-pull phase switch opens the door to unique, expressive sounds that cut through a mix with ease.

Bigsby Style Expression

The Gristle 90 comes equipped with a Bigsby B50 vibrato and roller bridge, allowing for smooth pitch modulation while maintaining excellent tuning stability. Reverend also incorporates a custom soft-touch spring that gives the vibrato a comfortable feel and responsive action.

Whether you're adding subtle shimmer to chords or expressive bends to lead lines, the Bigsby expands the guitar's creative possibilities without sacrificing reliability.

Tone and Performance

The Gristle 90 occupies a unique place in the guitar world. It combines the snap and ergonomics of a T-style guitar with the thicker feel and response often associated with classic set-neck instruments. The Fishman pickups provide everything from sparkling cleans to aggressive rock tones, while the onboard boost and phase options dramatically expand the available sounds.

Many players describe it as a guitar that bridges Fender and Gibson territory while maintaining its own distinct identity. The combination of P90-inspired character, modern electronics, and Reverend craftsmanship makes it equally at home on stage, in the studio, or during long practice sessions.
