Why set neck instead of neck thru?

Mine is a Trella with a rosewood board. I guess Grover started cutting Rosewood instead of Ebony and the "extra" got the Rosewood. I dig it.

Haven't had time to get anything yet, hopefully soon. The kid's schedule has been crazy the past few weeks.

Can you still get the original? I assume Gibson told him no or something?

The original Raven design is dead, for sure. I've never received any love letters from Gibson, though; it's more to do with growth than anything else. Over the past few years, I've wanted to unify the models a bit; new models have been added, while others have been retired. I really wanted to put more of my own spin on the Raven, and here we are. I'm glad that the response has been positive, although I know that not everyone will be a fan, and that's okay.

As far as set neck vs neck through goes, I prefer building set necks for a few reasons, and I love blending neck heels so that they're super comfortable. That's probably one of the most fun parts of the build for me.
