GIBSON GUITARS USA

Approached by Gibson Guitars and asked what his dream guitar would be.  As a trained graphic artist, Jon presented a mockup image of what that might be.  Thinking they would laugh, but then surprised when they agreed to build it for him.  Based off of the legendary J-200 Jumbo Acoustic model, The Jon Raven Model Acoustic Guitar was born.

Only 2 in existence, a prototype which Jon Plays at every show, and the actual production model which became lost in the Gibson guitar vaults after a repair was being made and has not been seen in over a decade.  True Spooky story!
