I got this guitar about a year and a half ago, I think it was made in Korea or Japan. This thing is great, especially for the money. It came with a h-s-h pickup setup, which sounds AWESOME in every position except maybe the bridge, which just sounds decent. Its suited for my metal and thrash playing. It has a floyd rose licensed floating tremolo which seems to be fairly standard now, but is great for those dive bombs and stuff. The neck is really nice, its just like a Ibanez wizard neck, which is very fast and has a great feeling. The cool shark fin inlays were also a plus.
Sound

Oh My God! this thing sounds so kickass for the price. It was so amazing that I started to cry. (well.. not really, but it sounds really good considering price.) This thing doesn't quite reach the greatness of my Ibanez RG-32qs or my 56' Epipi les paul, but you could buy 2 or 3 of these for the price of one of those. This thing is great for ripping out those high treble metal sounds. Amazing accomplishment by the people at Raven, I bet we will be seeing more of them soon.
Action, Fit, & Finish

I love the finish, its the "normal" flame top finish that goes from red into black, but I love it so much and so do lots of my friends. The action is JUST PERFECT I liked better than the action of my Les Paul, but I guess the Les Paul isn't known for its great action or anything. Everything came in great condition, everything was routed properly, with no blemishes in the finish or anywhere else. This thing is almost perfect!
Reliability/Durability
:
No Opinion
Well, I have only had it for a little more than one year now so I can't really tell you about its reliablity, but it seems like it would last a while. Better than lots of those other smaller company guitars. I haven't had any problems yet, but will keep this review updated if anything happens.

I love this thing and would definetly buy another if it were stolen or lost, I mean it barely costs anything for being so great. I would highly reccommend this to any beginners-intermediate or any expert that is low on cash or wants to buy a great soudning guitar to just mess around with. ITS GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!!!!
