Reverend Reeves Gabrels Dirtbike I have no choice but to double dip in the Reverend pool because the Dirtbike is cool as hell. Gabrels has two other signature models in the Reverend lineup—the Reeves Gabrels Spacehawk and the Reeves Gabrels Signature— and the Dirtbike is a welcome addition. More stripped down that its siblings, the Dirtbike features a single Reverend Reeves Gabrels Railhammer pickup that delivers both power and articulation. The body style has inviting curves, looking something like an offset double cutaway Les Paul Jr. The Wilkinson WVS50 IIK tremolo system ensures that you stay in tune even with aggressive whammy bar usage, and the guitar comes in three striking finishes: Reeves Blue, Violin Brown and Cream. It’s a simple guitar that merges the best of the classic and modern worlds, and it looks awesome like a good signature guitar should. ToneReport.com 43
