The Reverend Descent W 10th Anniversary rings in the double-digit birthday of Reverend’s medium-scale baritone in style, upgrading the model’s stock setup with a flame maple-capped korina body, gold hardware, and an elegant ebony fingerboard. Crafted in the time-tested Descent tradition, this Descent W 10th Anniversary masterfully bridges the gap between baritone and standard-length playability. The 26.75-inch maple neck will supply your fill of thunderously low tones when tuned down, without venturing too far away from the feel of a standard-scale guitar. Guitarists love the Cleancut and Nuevo 90 humcutter pickups at the neck and the bridge, arming you with the unmistakable vintage sound of P-90s with reduced signal hum and a balanced tone that doesn't lose clarity when switching between the two. Utilize Reverend's iconic bass roll-off to expertly tone shape any pickup position, and maintain your treble at all volumes thanks to the built-in treble bleed. Built with the utmost quality and attention to detail, Reverend equipped the Descent W with their classic low-profile dome knobs to reduce strumming impediments. Additionally, the Descent W includes a dual-action truss rod with easy headstock access, a Boneite nut with pin-lock tuners for maximum tuning stability, and a Wilkinson WVS50 IIK Tremolo bar with an adjustable Vari-claw system for a smoother or more firm feel. From the boutique-style pots and caps to the triple string tree for minimizing string buzz, you'll find quality conveniences around every corner of the Descent W 10th Anniversary.

A fantastic bridge between a baritone and a standard guitar
The Descent W 10th Anniversary sounds just as good as it looks, thanks to Cleancut and Nuevo 90 humcutting pickups at the neck and the bridge, respectively. Designed for a hum-free, solid vintage sound, you'll discover a satisfying low baritone boost to your normal guitar sound once you tune down to B standard. All of Reverend's pickups are engineered to maintain good tone and volume balance when selecting between them, and the consistency of the Descent W is no exception. Furthermore, the 26.75-inch neck adds a bit of length, without straying too far from the comfortable feel of a regular guitar — so you won't feel like you're lugging around a giant bass! If you're looking for more or less thump to complement your strong baritone sound, the convenient bass roll-off knob lets you craft your perfect low-end tone with ease. Are you seeking brighter tones while taking some volume off the top? Reverend's treble bleed technology preserves your sound by maintaining your treble, even when decreasing the master volume.

Internal reliability and electronic quality
You'll find just as much quality in the internal electronics as you'll find from an outside glance of the Descent W 10th Anniversary. Reverend's rule of thumb is ±10% when it comes to their polyester caps and alpha control pots. This level of engineering is normally found on boutique guitars, but it's a standard for every Reverend guitar, including the Descent W. Another Reverend staple is an upgraded jack by Pure Tone Technologies, built dependably with two contacts that provide a better overall grip and a reliable signal.
