Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

Weight: 8.25 lbs.

A wise man (our very own guitar guru, Eddie Berman) once said, "This baby is like an LP hiding in an offset body!" After taking this beautiful Trans Amber Cherry Burst Superbird for a spin, I couldn't agree more. I tend to be picky when it comes to offset body designs, but this Raven feels as natural as can be, perfectly weighted and comfortable. The mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard are super smooth and fast, while still affording plenty to grab onto. (Anderson describes the Happy Medium neck shape as “not too big and not too small but just right, a 'happy medium' among our other neck shapes" and is sure to satisfy players of all shapes and sizes.) The Raven takes versatility to a new level with its electronics scheme, its PH1 and HC2 pickups are able to go from series to parallel with the flick of a switch and a global Boost switch offers a little extra saturation at your discretion. This guitar sings and wails like a dream, it practically plays itself!

From Tom Anderson Guitarworks

The Guitar Player's Offset Guitar!  Svelte, cut, light, fast and nimble, boasting extraordinarily effortless intonation and tuning stability.  Jammin' with Raven is truly a joyful performance experience.
