Members bernardo gui Posted April 4, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 4, 2010 I've never heard of these guitars. What's the down-low on them? Raven guitars went out of business 5 years ago.The owner of the company killed his wife and himself.He did this at her place of employmentThey were going through a MEAN divorce.His son then started Ravenwest guitars. http://www.ravenwestguitar.com/ The Ravenwest RG-450, (same as the RP-450) was they're best selling guitar.It is no longer in production thanks to PRS.This guitar has a carved top, has a 25 inch scale, like a PRS Hollowbody.Same body design, basically the same guitar. Only Korean.The 25 inch scale is what caused the "Cease & Desist" order.PRS also went after Dillion Guitars as well: http://www.dillionguitars.com/guitar/electric/DR/DR450/index.html However the Dillion guitar has a 24 3/4 scale.That's why The Dillion guitar is still in production: the scaleI've owned this exact Raven guitar before: IT'S EXCELLENT.I sold it and regretted doing that....so I had to get another one.And I did !
