Saw one for the first time when a Rep friend asked me to check it out, a Fernandes Ravelle... Got my own yesterday! A honeyburst with the Sustainer pick-up...I was looking for something different and this fits the bill, one of the few new designs that works! Got it for $625 with a HSC... the freak factor is awsome , gigged with it last night and it rocks. The Les Paul shape is classic, don't like the new Tokai Shape at all[looks like an Epi} but I think of all the variations this one works! Have a great day ! MH
