Enter To Win a CME Exclusive Reverend Charger
Enter to win your very own CME Exclusive! Great vintage tone that’s better than you remember. Loaded with Reverend’s CP90s, this model is fantastic for both clean and distorted tones — twangy enough for country, but thick enough for rock. Each limited-edition model has a Bigsby B-50 that’s been loaded with Reverend’s own soft-touch spring.
