Here's What Reverend Say About the Rick Vito Signature Soulshaker
Designed with the undisputed slide master Rick Vito, but great for everyone! The Reverend Rick Vito Signature Soulshaker is a single cut set-neck with a pair of humbuckers emblazoned with Rick’s deco triangle motif. Designed to be well-balanced for slide players like Rick, the neck has a single-action truss rod for lighter weight while the body is strategically chambered for a well-balanced guitar. The back of the neck is finished in satin for smooth and comfortable playing and topped with a speedy ebony fretboard. The checkerboard binding is custom-made just for us. The Pearloid tops are carefully selected for that retro-deco feel that Rick loves. A genuinely unique guitar that is both elegant and playable.
Custom Pickups
We design our own proprietary custom pickups, to achieve the best tonal match with our 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 our lively, responsive instruments that are rich in harmonics.
Chambered Body
The strategically placed chambers increase body resonance for a more lively and responsive tone, and reduces weight.
Custom Binding
For this special guitar, we had custom checker binding made to our specifications. This unique binding is a throwback to the cool guitars from the 1930's, and sets off the look of this guitar perfectly.
Satin Finish Neck
The guitar is gloss finish, but we gave the back of the neck a satin finish, for a smooth, comfortable, broken-in feel that plays like butter.
Bigsby With Soft Touch Spring & Roller Bridge
Our Bigsby tremolo system feels great and stays in tune all night long! We install a custom Soft Touch spring into all our Bigsbys for easy, smooth action. Our roller bridge works with our Pin-Lock tuners and Boneite nut to create a system that strings glide through every time.
Pin-Lock Tuners
A thumbwheel under the tuner pushes a steel pin up through the post, locking the string in place for exceptional tuning stability and super-fast string changes.
Boneite Nut
We use "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.
