Reverend Kingbolt F-Sonic Iconic Blue: Bold Resonance Meets Modern Flexibility

Blending the punch of a solidbody with the resonance of a semi-hollow, the Reverend Kingbolt F-Sonic Iconic Blue stands out as a distinctive instrument for demanding players. Designed with a Korina body and a raised center section, it provides robust sustain and harmonic depth. Offset contours, sharp cutaways, and reduced weight ensure comfort and easy upper-fret access, while the Iconic Blue finish and Shooting Star f-holes make a vivid visual impression. Engineered for musicians who require versatility with no compromises, the Kingbolt F-Sonic fits a wide range of styles.

What Makes the Kingbolt F-Sonic Unique

Railhammer pickups—Hyper Vintage in the bridge and Nuevo 90 in the neck—deliver a tonal palette from classic P-90 warmth to humbucker-style punch, all without noise. Nuanced sound shaping and expressive pitch effects are possible with the Bass Contour control and Wilkinson WVS50 IIK tremolo, a rare combination in this class.

Precision Hardware for Demanding Musicians

Each component is chosen for both tone and reliability. With ultra-consistent ±10% pots and poly caps, a Pure Tone output jack, and a Boneite nut, this model offers long-term performance. Roasted maple neck construction, a dual-action truss rod, and pin-lock tuners support tuning stability and minimize seasonal adjustments.

• Body:Korina solidbody with raised center and F-holes — merges resonance and sustain
• Neck:Roasted Maple, medium oval profile — provides comfort and stability
• Fingerboard Radius:305 mm — smooth, contemporary playability

Optimized Playability and Hardware

From the Boneite nut and 43 mm nut width to 22 medium jumbo frets, all specs are designed for precision and excellent feel. The Wilkinson WVS50 IIK tremolo includes locking saddles and a push-in arm for fluid vibrato, while the six-bolt neck plate maximizes alignment and sustain.

• Scale Length:648 mm — familiar string tension and feel
• Bridge:Wilkinson WVS50 IIK Tremolo — supports expressive vibrato work
• Changing strings is quick and tuning remains stable thanks to the pin-lock tuners.

Electronics and Versatility

Pairing the Railhammer Hyper Vintage (bridge) and Nuevo 90 (neck) pickups creates broad sonic possibilities, expanded further by the Bass Contour passive roll-off and three-way switching. A treble bleed circuit keeps the high end clear when lowering volume, while custom dome knobs and a proprietary jack plate add refined, functional touches.

• Pickups:Railhammer Hyper Vintage (bridge), Nuevo 90 (neck) — noise-free clarity and punch
• Controls:Volume, Tone, Bass Contour, 3-way switch — quick tonal changes on demand
• Comfortable 43 mm nut width lets players navigate both chords and lead passages with ease.

The lightweight Korina body reduces fatigue, and flexible pickup options suit blues, indie, rock, or more experimental sounds.
