The Washburn R5CB brings the iconic Raven back to life with its lightweight swamp ash body, Wing‑style double cutaway, and high‑output humbuckers voiced to match the tenacious sound of the original '70s models.

Vintage Raven guitars from the '70s are prized by collectors, and the Washburn Raven '78 brings makes iconic double-cutaway style accessible to a new generation of players. Crafted from premium lightweight swamp ash, Raven '78 delivers bold and bright tonality and exceptional playing comfort.

Dual humbucking pickups are specially voiced to match the tenacious sound of the original Ravens from the '70s. And to double your sonic range, a push-pull control spits the coils of the humbuckers to access snappy single-coil chime and clarity.

From thick humbucker growl to single‑coil sparkle via the push‑pull tone split, the R5CB delivers a full spectrum of tones-wrapped in a gorgeous Cherry Burst finish and strung with D'Addario EXL110s for instant playability.
