Reverend Guitars Reeves Gabrels Spacehawk HT: Modern Signature, Expressive Power

The Reverend Guitars Reeves Gabrels Spacehawk HT Metallic Red is a standout signature electric guitar, crafted for players who demand both classic feel and future-forward control. Developed with Reeves Gabrels—renowned for collaborations with David Bowie and The Cure—this ventless semi-hollowbody balances warmth, clarity, and powerful sustain. Its chambered Korina body and solid maple top result in a vibrant, harmonically complex voice, while the sealed construction tames unwanted feedback for stage or studio environments. Every detail is tuned to creative guitarists searching for fresh sounds in the doublecut class.

Standout Features: Artist-Driven Innovation

At the heart of this model are Reverend’s custom HA5 humbuckers with Alnico V magnets, producing PAF-inspired tones that flex from vintage to aggressive. Outfitted with a TOM/stoptail bridge for extra sustain, a responsive Bass Contour control, a kill switch for abrupt staccato, and a push-pull phase switch, the Spacehawk HT is made for tonal exploration. Thin UV-cured finish further enhances resonance and feel.

Body & Materials: Tonewood Engineering for Resonance

Construction choices shape the sound and experience for this instrument. The chambered semi-hollow body utilizes Korina—medium-light and highly resonant—topped with solid maple to accentuate acoustic presence and sustain in a single design.

• Body: Semi-hollow Korina, solid maple top — warmth, clarity, and controlled feedback come together here
• Finish: Metallic Red, thin UV-cured polyurethane — lets the wood vibrate freely for enhanced resonance
• The guitar weighs just 3.58 kg, making it comfortable for extended gigs or practice sessions.

Neck & Playability: Engineered for Comfort and Precision

A 12-inch (305 mm) fingerboard radius and 24.75-inch (629 mm) scale length support expressive bends and familiar feel for modern players.
