Vintage Charm with New-age Functionality
The Jetstream RB from Reverend Guitars is your workhorse for a full, powerful sound in your genre of choice. Shaped from premium korina wood with a bolt-on roasted maple neck, the head-turning Jetstream RB is bursting with vintage charm. Carrying two Reverend Retroblast mini humbuckers at the neck and the bridge, the Jetstream RB can deliver both percussive power with a classic crunch or a more reeled-in and smooth rockabilly tone — all at your command. You can further shape your tone courtesy of Reverend’s bass roll-off knob, which thickens up or thins out your sound in any pickup position. The Jetstream RB’s built-in treble bleed ensures you maintain brightness no matter how high or low you set the master volume; the upgraded dual-contact cable jack from Pure Tone Technologies gives you not only better cable grip, but also a more reliable signal for your Retroblast pickups. The Jetstream RB also boasts a variety of functional exterior appointments, including pin-lock tuning pegs for fantastic tuning stability and lower-profile control knobs to combat strumming impediment. Sweetwater guitarists are big fans of the adjustable Wilkinson WVS50 IIK tremolo bar — it pairs nicely with the Vari-Claw tremolo claw system, allowing you to find that optimal firmness for the bar.

Quality craftsmanship meets supreme playability
The Jetstream RB’s korina body is an ideal choice because of its lighter weight, consistency, and renowned tonal qualities. Reverend’s beautiful bolt-on roasted maple neck complements every finish and adds to the charming aesthetic of the guitar. Additionally, Reverend has included a custom-engraved reinforced steel cable jack plate, a Boneite nut for reduced string friction, and their iconic pin-lock thumbwheel tuning pegs to ensure impeccable intonation. The low-profile dome knobs stay out of your way when strumming, making playability both easy and more efficient. You’ll find the truss rod easily accessible via the headstock, allowing for stress-free adjustability for avoiding damage with age and changing climates. Every Jetstream RB is numbered and initialed by a Reverend technician, adding a final personal touch to your beautifully crafted guitar.
Tone shape your Retroblasts to fit any sound
Reverend’s proprietary Retroblast mini humbuckers deliver a full and powerful sound. This makes the Jetstream RB a suitable choice for when you need a big presence from your guitar, with a smooth delivery that can be tone shaped to stand out in a variety of musical situations. Designed to maintain a stable balance of tone and volume between pickup selections, the Retroblasts offer reliable power in every position you choose. When you decide you need to adjust the low-end punch of your tone, use the roll-off bass knob to easily contour any tone to your liking. On the brighter side, a built-in treble bleed allows you to reduce volume without losing any of your treble tone’s edge. Reverend’s extensive efforts to maximize tone preservation speaks volumes for the reliability of the Jetstream RB. And with two mini humbuckers to work with, these exciting features are your ticket for smooth, dynamic tone.
Internal electronics fit for a boutique guitar
You’ll find just as much quality in the internal electronics as you’ll find from an outside glance of the Jetstream RB. 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 Jetstream RB. 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.
