  • Reeves Gabrels’ Newest Reverend Spacehawk

    Reeves Gabrels’ Newest Reverend Spacehawk


    For his gig with The Cure, Reeves Gabrels needed a guitar that could cover a lot of sonic territory. The folks at Reverend helped him create the Spacehawk; the latest version is the Spacehawk Supreme he uses here to play  an instrumental take on “Two Chords And A Lie” running through an MXR Super Compressor, JHS Andy Timmons, EQD Ledges, and a Valeton VLP-200 looper into Fender Princeton combo. We review the guitar and have Reeves dig into it for us in the November issue.
