Reverend Pete Anderson Eastsider Custom Electric Guitar

Are you looking for a big, warm sound from a T-sized package? The Pete Anderson Eastsider Custom is based on the Eastsider T but with a set neck and humbucker pickups. You get more effortless playability and a fatter, thicker tone. The Telbucker bridge pickup offers a classic humbucker tone in a T-sized footprint. A dual rail design keeps the low end tight and prevents drop-offs when bending.

The Eastsider Custom has all the features of the original Eastsider T but with the tone of classic set neck guitars from a bygone era. The Pete Anderson Eastsider Custom adds another texture to your playing.

Custom Pickups
Reverend designs their own proprietary custom pickups, to achieve the best tonal match with their instruments. Reverend pickups are also specifically designed for each position, for balanced volume and tone when switching.

Korina Body
Korina (aka White Limba) is a medium-light weight wood, highly prized for consistency and tonal qualities. Often found in boutique and vintage instruments, all Reverends feature Korina bodies. A highly resonant wood, Korina is a key factor to producing lively, responsive instruments that are rich in harmonics.

Chambered Body
The Eastsider has two strategically placed chambers underneath the pickguard for all the increase in resonance and warmth that you'd expect. The placement of the cavities also reduces neck-diving balance issues found in most chambered guitars.

Pin-Lock Tuners
A thumbwheel under the tuner pushes a steel pin up through… read more the post, locking the string in place for exceptional tuning stability and super-fast string changes.

Initialed Headstock
Every Reverend is hand initialed and serial numbered on the back of the headstock by one of the highly skilled technicians who set up, inspect, and test every instrument.

Embossed "R" Knobs
All Pete Anderson models have special knobs which feature an embossed "R". Custom cool!

Boneite Nut
Reverend uses "Boneite," a synthetic bone nut, that is more consistent than natural bone, on all Reverend instruments. It reduces friction, allowing the strings to slide through the nut slots smoothly, improving tuning stability.

Dual-Action Truss Rod
A dual action rod adjusts in both directions, allowing back bow or forward bow. This assures correct adjustment range is possible regardless of string tension, extreme climate conditions, or the effects of long term aging. It's also located at the headstock for easy access.

Thin Finish
The paint on a Reverend is thinner than most production guitars, allowing the body to vibrate more freely, for a more resonant and lively tone. Thick finishes might look a little 'slicker', but at Reverend, tone is a top priority. The finish is also UV cured, which means it's 100% dry from day one, unlike vintage-style nitrocellulose finishes, which can take years to fully dry.

Pure Tone Jack
All Reverends use an upgraded jack by Pure Tone Technologies. A standard jack has single contacts, but the Pure Tone jack has dual contacts for improved grip, audio signal and reliability. The most dependable guitar jack available.

Treble Bleed Circuit
All Reverend guitars have a treble bleed circuit, preserving the treble when you roll back the volume control. When you roll back a standard volume control, the tone loses treble and becomes dull sounding. Now you can turn down and still sound great!

10% Pots
Reverend uses Alpha control pots with a +-10% rating. While a typical pot is +-20%, these pots are built to tighter specifications, making them more consistent. Typically used in expensive boutique guitars, but standard issue in all Reverends.

10% Caps
Reverend uses caps with a +-10% rating, while a typical cap is +-20%. These caps are made to tighter specifications, so they're more consistent. Made of polyester, they're also longer lasting, and less affected by temperature than cheaper ceramic caps. Typically used in expensive boutique guitars.

DISCLAIMER: Satin clear coats and nickel hardware as seen on the Pete Anderson signature guitars have certain physical characteristics that predispose them to aging and looking like a vintage instrument more rapidly than other finishes. As with all Reverend signature models, the choices to use these materials were made by the artist and are included on these guitars to better fit their vision of an ideal instrument.
