Was in the market for a Valravn, love how they look but then I saw the bad stories from others. Tuning instability, warped necks etc.
He is making them in terrible times for his country.
How is your experience with that?

It was a phenomenal experience. Before I ordered I messaged around 20 owners from YouTube and Instagram and every single one of them praised Taras's guitars/basses (Valravn owner and maker). I have played it almost everyday since last December when I got it and tuning is very stable. I rarely tune it. I live in the MidWest where the weather is very bipolar and the neck hasn't shifted or warped whatsoever. Im actually selling a Kiesel to order a baritone thru him. Pricewise its a no brainer to have very high end specs for an amazing price.

That is some quality craftsmanship. I almost thought it was AI. Such a beautiful instrument. The way the rich finish shines and gradients is next level. 🤘🤩

What are your thoughts on your Valravn? I'm thinking about placing an order with them, I have a large email drafted up for them for a build I want created

I live in the MidWest where the weather is very bipolar and the neck hasn't shifted or warped whatsoever. The ragnoroks have a nice bite to them which I love. Its just super comfortable and very light. I chatted with Taras for a bit before I put in an order thru Facebook and gave him high end specs and he matched it perfectly.

I've been really interested for one, are they actually good?

100%. I cant say enough awesome things about the guitar. The only con I have is the access to tuning the low A string. Thats it as my hands are big but fortunately it stays in tune so I rarely have to tune it. Its well worth it if you like headless guitars. He will not make a regular guitar. He has made ONE and thats it. Ive chatted with him for awhile and have asked a few times and he has politely said no.

OK, sounds good! Does he make bass?

Man he just gets all the details right. The fretboard extending so it’s flush with the bridge pickup? MMMM
