Gas! Gas! Gas!
..... No this time it wasn't mine. 
One of my guitar students has ordered a Raven West guitar (on my suggestion of course  ), and it should be here by the end of the week. But of course he had to go and get the same model and color that I want to get before me.... 
I've been dying to get my hands on one of these out for a long time, so now I'll finally get a chance to. If they play even half as good as they look it's gonna be a real treat!

It is definitely a nice piece of eye candy. 
Ok, now without looking it up.... How much do you think that guitar costs?

Hehe, that's what I was hoping for..... Are you ready for this?......
...... $470! 
RAVENWEST GUITARS
Is that amazing or what?
It seems at that price there HAS to be a catch somewhere, it's almost too good to be true. But I'll know very soon if they play and sound as good as they look. If so, I'm saving my pennies!

This would be a great plan if I could somehow intercept the UPS truck..... Once he gets his hands on it, I don't think he's going to be converted to piano so easily.

I have mentioned Raven here before. A great bang for the buck. I used to chat with their designer every now and then. He has since retired. He used to get paid in one of every guitar he designed for them. Needless to say he has guitars everywhere in his house.

It just came in today.... And oh man is it ever awesome! 
It's super light being a semi-hollow, but it's got some serious bite to it. We tried it through his new VOX AD50VT and it sounds great! I also brought my solid body Cort CL1000 over for a comparison and the Cort left with it's tail between it's legs. Although he did have an unfair advantage in that my strings are VERY old and his are brand new, so I'll change strings and go back for a rematch on our next lesson Monday.
The neck is exactly what I like, thin but not "super" thin. It was setup perfectly, no fretbuzz and it was very easy to play.
So yeah, I'm definitely saving up!!!

Tekker,
Did you buy that guitar ? I see it has a 1 3/4 nut thats cool. Thats somewhat hard to find in itself and not common for the most part.
Are those jumbo fretts or regular ?
I see its got some great reviews too.

No, one of my guitar students did. I just got to go over and play it as soon as he got it.

They felt like regular frets, although I don't think I've ever played jumbo frets for a comparison.... Or if I have I wasn't paying that much attention to it. lol
