REVEREND PETE ANDERSON PA-1 RB
By Chris Gill
PETE ANDERSON MAY be best known for the tantalizing Tele twang that distinguished his playing with Dwight Yoakam, but — as he’s shown on the excellent solo albums he’s released since the mid Nineties — his true forte is playing blues. Reverend’s Pete Anderson signature model guitars have mirrored this duality with the Teleinspired Eastsider solidbodies and Gretsch-like PA-1 and PA-1 HB hollowbodies. With its minihumbucker Retroblast pickups, Reverend’s newest Pete Anderson model, the PA-1 RB, falls somewhere in between, providing snappy twang as well as sultry jazzy tones.
