Idling Up To The Line

 
 

You plug in. There is no contest here, electric motor or internal combustion engine; it does not matter. You are going to win…easily. Although they are very fast, you are faster — by a lot. At best, they can do 0 to 60 in a little over 3 seconds.

The countdown begins. Declining numbers at an even rate, at the count of one, all accelerate. Yes, they are fast.

But you have an In-Distress, Shell Pink Raven Classic with a Black Racing Stripe…0 to 767 miles per hour (1,235 kilometers)…instantly.

Quarter mile time is 1.17 seconds, and you clock 1000 meters at 2.82 seconds.

And on top of all of that, you can play music — songs to soothe and uplift the world.

Welcome to Raven Classic with a Custom Racing Stripe singing out at the speed of sound. Now really, how fun is this!?

Pure pumped PQ pickup power, atop a fiery-brown Tortoise Shell Pickguard, rockets Raven instantly to maximum speed with lush, giant single-coil tones all around that do not hum, unless…you are doing something weird, like licking your pickups with the strings off while dragging it across your electric blanket as humidity hovers around 6%. Hey, I guess it could happen, but probably not regularly.

Control of this supersonic, profoundly pink bird is rendered via a Big 3-Way Toggle and 2 mini “Cut” switches, gleefully presenting 8 sublime tonal variances.   

For this Raven Classic, tremolo duties are handled by our optional J-Trem, a wonderful, subtle-action tremolo that is smooth to the touch and very fun to shift…pitch.

If you are thinking this Raven Classic is cool but it looks a bit worn, that is because this Raven is purposely finished with an “In-Distress,” Level 1 paint job for those who like their guitars — like their high-performance engines — broken in before they go racing or gigging.

And where is this Raven Classic parked for the moment? Look no further than the “muscle garage” at Morgan Music in Lebanon, Missouri.
