Sound Pure's Take

The first time we ordered this guitar, it wasn't in the shop long enough to even get a good picture! This time, we made sure we caught this bird before she flew off on us. The Raven is a major shop favorite and this Shorty version with crystal clear, full throated MC pickups and Anderson's unbelievable J-Trem system has made us fall even further in love with the model. For an offset guitar that trumps the rest, you can't beat the Raven.

Anderson Raven Classic Shorty - Quick 'n' Dirty

From Tom Anderson Guitarworks

Your most profound offset style guitar dreams have become a reality. Now you can step on stage with the avant-garde look of an offset and have the Anderson assurance that you are strapped into a unique instrument that will perform peerlessly in your hands. 

Balanced, lightweight and stable, a joy to strap on and play all night long.

Not oversized or undersized but a body of just right proportions. it immediately feels like your old, best friend, that is full of brand new excitement and experiences.

A solid foundation supports unparalleled tone and resonance, where every sonic nuance rings out with alacrity.

As usual, our reliable intonation and tuning stability makes the Raven a joy to play with any and every style of music.  No worries, just plug and play with wild abandon.
