Vernon Reid’s virtuosic — and intentionally idiosyncratic — musical personality has earned him a devoted, dare we say, cult-like following. A stripped-down, blacked-out iteration of the Living Colour guitarist’s Totem Series, the Reverend Vernon Reid The Darque is one of the few axes brazen enough to contain the guitarist’s anarchic, Bad-Brains-meets-Mahavishnu-inspired chops. Originally unveiled at Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning concert, this high-performance electric guitar is built upon an ergonomically slim korina body, which brandishes a spotlight-ready satin poly finish. The Vernon Reid The Darque’s 3-piece korina neck feels like absolute greased lightning, and its 22-fret, 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard provides an ample launching platform for high-level finger aerobatics. A trio of Railhammer Vernon Reid humbuckers infuses this solidbody electric guitar with a massive miscellany of scorching-hot tones, which you can shape with dedicated Volume, Tone, and Bass Contour controls. Vernon Reid’s whammy mastery is undeniable, and his signature Reverend is equipped to oblige him, thanks to a Floyd Rose 1000 Series Pro double-locking tremolo. Players with an intense desire to subvert musical barriers will find Reverend’s Vernon Reid The Darque to be a first-class collaborator.
Stage-ready looks and pumped-up playability
The Vernon Reid The Darque flaunts a thin, aerodynamically contoured korina body, which is covered with an eye-catching satin polyurethane finish and given an attention-grabbing, blacked-out aesthetic. You’ll appreciate the effortless playability afforded by this guitar’s 3-piece, Medium Oval korina neck, which features a satin finish for an agile, low-drag feel. Finally, you also get a blazing-fast 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, which is crowned with 22 nickel-alloy frets and emblazoned with a kaleidoscope of mesmerizing inlays.
Vivid tone from versatile electronics
Players who demand hot, fat tones but also require a flexible sonic palette will appreciate this guitar’s Railhammer Vernon Reid pickups. Arrayed in a triple-humbucker configuration, these pickups vaunt a cutting-edge design, with rails under the wound strings for tight, clear lows and poles under the plain strings for smooth, soaring highs with zero hum. You’ll dig this solidbody electric guitar’s Bass Contour control, a passive bass roll-off that tightens your low end and revoices your pickups. Reverend’s proprietary custom jack plate, Pure Tone jack, and 10% pots and caps round out the Vernon Reid The Darque’s robust features.
Ready for mind-bending pitch pyrotechnics
Anyone familiar with Vernon Reid’s playing knows that the man seriously knows how to work a whammy. For that reason, the Vernon Reid The Darque comes outfitted with a Floyd Rose 1000 Series Pro. This low-profile double-locking tremolo allows you to shriek, squeal, and flutter with absolute impunity. Are you someone who treats bar-to-body dive-bombs like an Olympic sport? Well, the Vernon Reid The Darque can take it, and your tuning will snap right back into place when you let go of the bar. Countless guitarists are die-hard Floyd Rose devotees, and we’re pleased as punch with its inclusion on this Vernon Reid signature guitar.
