The early Ravens ('78-'79) have a serial nr (5 digits + E) printed on a sticker on the back of the headstock. Somewhere in '79 there was a switch to a different system of serials (2 letters + 6 digits), engraved in the neck-plate. The first letter is either a C or G (production plant code?), the second letter is probably a production month indication. The change in the serial system might indicate a switch from one manufacturer to another, but there's not enough evidence to confirm that yet.Manufacturer: unknownYears Offered: 1978 - 1981Body: arched top, double cutaway, smooth body edgesBody Wood(s): mahogany or plyNeck Wood: mahogany, 1 piece, bolt-on (6 screws.. 4 the usual way, 2 reinforcement screws inside out underneath the neck pickup)Fingerboard: rosewood, dot inlaysFrets: 22Scale: 630 mmTuners: Washburn die-cast, sealed, 3xR, 3xLPickups: '78-'79: 2x humbucker, no markings on bottom of the pickups.
