The Washburn R5TS revives the iconic '70s Raven with a lightweight swamp ash body, Wing‑Series double cutaway, and zebra high‑output humbuckers that deliver that unmistakable vintage bite.

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.

With its push/pull coil‑split, fast maple fretboard, and rich Tobacco Burst gloss, this Raven '78 takes flight with tone and style that never went out of fashion.
