“The parallels between Wallis and Thelma spoke to me. The story is well-known among history buffs, but Turnbull offers up a completely new perspective on Wallis’ predecessor. Soon after, Edward and Wallis became lovers, which ultimately led to his abdication of the throne so he could marry Wallis.
REVEREND BARBOUR HB AND K SOUNDBYTE TRIAL
When her sister Gloria Vanderbilt needs help during the infamous custody trial involving her daughter and the Vanderbilts, Thelma gets on a boat, but only after asking her friend Wallis Simpson to take care of Edward VIII in her absence.
Shortly after she arrived in England, her husband introduced her to the Edward VIII (Prince of Wales at the time) and she became his mistress. Thelma Morgan led an illustrious life as a socialite in 1930s New York and Europe, eventually marrying Viscount Marmaduke Furness, a British shipping magnate. In her novel The Woman before Wallis (Mira, 2020), Bryn Turnbull has written about the life of Thelma Furness (née Morgan), twin sister of Gloria Vanderbilt, great aunt of CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper and mistress of Edward VIII, former king of the United Kingdom. The Contender HB is a workhorse P-90-equipped pugilist that can excel in a wide variety of genres.The Woman Before Wallis by Bryn Turnbull: King Edward VIII’s Devotion to Thelma Furness Finally, an angled six-bolt neck plate increases stability and resonance while allowing easy access to the upper frets. Also, it has pin-lock tuners and a Boneite nut to ensure excellent tuning stability, and it comes equipped with boutique-quality pots and caps and a Pure Tone jack for consistent sound. The medium oval neck profile is home to 22 medium-jumbo frets and a fingerboard with a 12" radius, a configuration well-suited to most techniques and playing styles (and, it's especially good for bending strings).
Reverend has kitted out the Contender HB with a metric ton of appointments that enhance the player's experience and while making the instrument supremely reliable. In other words, you can access both of the archetypical humbucker sounds with a flick of your wrist! They still sound robust, but they become tighter, brighter, and snappier. If you roll off Reverend's world-renowned bass contour knob, their character changes completely. They have the woody midrange of a vintage-style pickup, but they have a bit more low-end depth and high-end sparkle. They're warm and rich-sounding, but they still have excellent clarity and articulation. Korina is a wonderful partner in crime for Reverend's Alnico 5 humbuckers. Like mahogany, it sounds warm, punchy, and round, but it has more harmonic content in the high-end and is generally a bit livelier. Korina sounds similar to the mahogany used to build the classic single-cuts of yore, but with a couple of key differences. The first reason that the Contender is in the hunt for the title is great defe-I mean, its resonant korina body. As soon as you plug one of these guitars in, there's no coulda, woulda, or shoulda about it: you ARE a contender in the contest for most monstrous tone! The Reverend Contender HB is a brand new design that marries Reverend's iconic retro-futurist style with the classic single-cut body shape, and it is a lean, mean rock and roll machine!
