Anderson Guitarworks Raven Classic Guitar, Rosewood Fretboard, Black with Green Dog Hair

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

Anderson guitars continue to be up there with the best of the best in the bolt-on guitar field. They're a shop favorite and for good reason. Meant for the rocker that wants to hit their rig hard while staying versatile, this Raven Classic has the edge in both looks and build quality, feels amazing, and sounds absolutely killer.

Offset guitars are as popular these days as they've ever been, it seems, and we've got the one to rule them all. It is truly no exaggeration to say that every Anderson guitar that has come through our shop has been jaw-droppingly beautiful and amazing to play. They've quickly grown to become a shop favorite and we're pretty much all of the belief that "Anderson can do no wrong." This Raven Classic only solidifies this unyielding faith and confidence in Tom Anderson's team. This axe is made for the workhorse musician that needs something masterfully crafted, extremely versatile, and yet simple to use.

The pickups give you an immensely versatile tonal palette. This configuration was certainly concocted with rock genres in mind, but the tone remains musical and balanced whether clean or distorted. The humbuckers will give you rich and meaty tones that remain punchy and articulate even when saturated heavily. There are also 2 "cut switches" that help give the humbuckers a more vintage vibe with a more airy and vocal-like top-end.

This is a true player's instrument. Ready for the studio or the stage, this could very well be your new Excalibur and be the only guitar you need to unsheath to slay your next gig or session.

The Pickups

HC1: More neck humbucker saturation, output, and smoothness than HC1- while still retaining equilibrium for the neck position perfection. The quintessential mate for the medium-hot HC2 in the bridge position.
HC3: The HC Series solution to hot output, with vintage character still nicely intact. Just pushes the front of the amp a touch more or when a bit more musical muscle is needed.
