The BC-1 Design & Features
-
Chambered Korina Body: The body is crafted from Korina (White Limba), a premium, highly resonant wood prized for its lively harmonics. To reduce weight and increase acoustic resonance, Reverend utilizes a raised center block with thinner wings and strategic acoustic chambers under the segmented aluminum pickguard.
-
Railhammer Signature Pickups: Under the hood are Corgan’s signature Railhammer "Humcutter" pickups. These revolutionary pickups feature rails under the wound strings for tight, punchy lows, and oversized poles under the plain strings for fat, singing highs. They perfectly capture the snappy clarity and bite of a P90, but with the thick, muscular tone and zero-hum performance of a heavy humbucker.
-
Bass Contour & Treble Bleed: The BC-1 features Reverend’s famous passive Bass Contour control, allowing you to seamlessly roll off the low-end to re-voice the pickups on the fly. It also features a Treble Bleed circuit so your tone never gets muddy when you roll back the volume.
-
Roasted Maple Neck & Pin-Lock Tuners: The 25.5-inch scale roasted maple neck features a comfortable medium oval "C" profile and a 12-inch radius roasted maple fretboard. Up top, Reverend’s Pin-Lock tuners and a frictionless Boneite nut guarantee exceptional tuning stability. Down below, a string-through-body hardtail bridge with stainless steel saddles delivers maximum percussive attack and endless sustain.
Condition: Near-Mint / Excellent+ This guitar is all original. There is no discernible wear on the guitar—there are no dings, dents or scratches, and it shows barely any signs of ever being handled.
-
Electronics & Hardware: Function 100% without flaw. There are minimal to only slight signs of use on the hardware, and the factory plastic is still on the backplate.
-
Frets: 10/10 condition with zero wear.
Playability & Setup The neck is perfectly straight with slight relief, and the action is set low for effortless playability. This guitar includes a full pro setup from one of our in-house techs, and comes freshly strung with Ernie Ball or D'Addario 10-46 strings.
