Pre-Owned Tom Anderson Guitarworks Raven Classic Shorty - Burgundy Mist with Hardshell Case

The Raven Classic Shorty – Sleek, Compact Power in a Stunning Finish

Classic Tom Anderson Craftsmanship in a Short Scale Format

The Raven Classic Shorty represents everything players love about Tom Anderson's meticulous craftsmanship, now in a compact 24 3/4-inch scale length. Designed for enhanced comfort and quick playability, this Raven Shorty’s shorter scale makes bending effortless and adds a slightly warmer snap to its tonal character. Whether you're a seasoned Anderson devotee or just discovering what precision feels like, this model delivers the unmistakable response and finesse that Tom Anderson guitars are celebrated for.

Striking Looks with Premium Materials

This Raven Classic Shorty features a sleek, contoured basswood body finished in Burgundy Mist—a timeless color brought to life through Anderson’s high-gloss application. The tortoise shell pickguard perfectly complements the body’s hue while adding a classic touch. It's not just eye-catching—it’s built to last and age beautifully with you.

A Neck Designed for the Modern Player

The neck is constructed from caramel maple with a chocolate maple fingerboard, featuring a “Happy Medium +.030” back shape for a balanced, substantial feel. The gloss natural headstock and satin natural back finish add both visual appeal and smooth playability. Jumbo frets and a 1 11/16-inch nut width provide a familiar and responsive fretting surface, while the Buzz Feiten tuning system ensures accurate intonation across the board.

Versatile Tones with Premium Anderson Electronics

Equipped with a VA7.2R in the neck, VA7.2 in the middle, and a HC2 in the bridge, this Raven Classic Shorty delivers an exceptional range of tones—from vintage chime to bold humbucking power. The 5-way switching (with splitter in position 3) offers instant access to sweet spots, while chrome hardware and a vintage tremolo bridge round out the guitar's rock-solid feature set.

Light Wear, Heavy Vibe

This guitar shows some light play and surface wear on the top and pickguard, along with a small ding on the treble-side edge of the cutaway on the back. None of this affects its performance—just a touch of honest wear on an otherwise stunning and expertly crafted instrument. Minor playwear on headstock, trem plate cover and 5th fret, and non original trem set screw.
