This Tom Anderson Short Raven electric, in Olympic White, is one of the smoothest playing guitars we've come across and it's loaded with a set of Anderson's own exceptional pickups. If you've loved classic Jazzmasters but hankered for something more balanced that you can count on every time, this is the one. You've got a PQ1 soapbar pickup at the neck, giving you nice, open clarity; the PQ2 at the bridge offers a vintage tone that's full, rich, and completely hum-free. You've also got a rock solid Chrome Vintage Tremolo bridge. The Alder body is incredibly resonant and perfectly balanced with a 6 lb, 14 oz weight.
A slightly shorter scale (24 3/4”) with 22 Low-Rise frets on its Rosewood fingerboard, and 1 11/16” nut width make this a breeze to play, and the Maple neck's Even-Taper +.030 shape is a revelation - super comfortable. Simply an impeccable guitar, this Tom Anderson Short Raven has a versatile pickup combination, impeccable build and a very cool, vintage inspired look. It comes with a hardshell case and an Anderson guitar strap.
