Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | I used to own a Raven RM680 that was just the cat's ass for the money.
  
These things played and sounded GREAT! I think they retailed new for about $850-900 and sold used around $500. If you can find one, your search is over.
I sold mine to someone on the board about 4-5 years ago and I can't remember who but he did mention a few years back that he might sell it (but I never saw him advertise it). Maybe he will step forward or you can search the archives for "Raven RM680".
It was a beautiful guitar and an excellent player. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Stephen, that Raven looks nearly identical to the Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor II flame maple models. Price is about the same, too. |

Location: Eaton, Indiana | The Raven looks good. I have played one of the new solid wood Loar arch tops. They are good. I am considering a Stromberg reissue. In my less than smart youth, I sold a blond 175, 2 L-7s, and 2 original Epiphones. Oh well...
I am going to Indy to see what I can come up with.
Thanks for your input.
