Hi,

New member here. First, let me introduce you to my Raven which I've owned since 1969. It was bought used back then and given as a gift from my parents.

I decided to restore it a few years ago. You can see what I did here:

I really enjoy playing it although I find the neck to be a bit narrow. However, i feel it's time to put a bit more work into it and have a few questions along these lines:

1) Strap Button: It's in the worst place. Has anyone relocated it and if so, to which part of the guitar?

2) Pickups: I rewired the whole guitar and added new pots, jack, and selector switch. I decided to keep the stock pups which happen to be in good shape. I really want humbuckers though not sure whether I should go with mini's or full size. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

These are the two main items. I'm going to be installing a Bigsby B30 which is on order.
