Tom Anderson
Founded in the mid-1980s as a garage brand in California, Anderson Guitar Works has often been described as "the best guitar on the planet". Only the finest and most beautiful woods are selected from the lumber mills. The process integrates traditional handcrafting with the latest technology by skilled craftsmen to create bodies and necks that are especially precise and comfortable. The company is also renowned for offering a wide range of pickups designed to deliver optimum tone, and for pioneering the use of UV paint curing to dramatically improve the sound potential of its instruments. The company's philosophy of "all the right parts, assembled just right" was truly reflected in the playability and sound of its instruments. Tom Anderson guitars have been used by many famous musicians, including Richie Sambora, John Sykes, and Vivica Campbell, Vivienne Campbell, and others...some of the biggest hard rock guitarists have used Tom Anderson guitars. Also, Kirk Hammett of Metallica has a model with a unique design. In Japan, DAITA is famous for using this model. There are many others. This brand is also famous for the very small number of pieces produced each year. The spirit of the company, which insists on handmade products and does not break the system to assemble and ship one by one with certain accuracy, is still alive and well. It is said that only about 600 pieces are produced per year, and only about 100 of them enter Japan. Considering this, the fact that so many big-name musicians own these instruments in spite of the very small number produced means that a very high percentage of them are in the hands of professionals, and once again, the greatness of this brand can be understood.

Body, neck, and fingerboard
Basswood body with quilted maple top, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. Only the neck is satin-finished to ensure playability.
The standard Even-Taper neck shape, 1 11/16" nut width, and medium frets are used.

Equipped with the well-known "Buzz Fayton tuning system" for outstanding tuning accuracy and sound isolation.

The unique "A Wedgie" two-point neck joint system provides a wide contact surface between the body and neck, resulting in excellent response and sustain.

Pickups
The SA1R SA1 H2+ pickups are installed.

The SA1 pickup has been the standard single coil pickup for many years. It has a modern sound characterized by its presence midrange and wide dynamic range. Of course, it is hum canceling, noise free, and coverless type.

The H2 pickup is a long-selling standard humbucker. It has a wide-range sound with plenty of midrange while the highs and lows are fully extended, and the mids are powerful.

Controls
The controls are Tom Anderson's classic "switcheroo" (=switcheroo).
A 3-point mini-switch is installed for each pickup, and each of them has the following controls

1) Series (= in series)
2) Off
3) Parallel (= parallel) or coil tap

This allows you to use all combinations of pickups. Parallel or coil-tapped can be selected individually with the switch in the back panel.

You can make your own combination here, but when it comes time for a guitar solo, you can call up the "Tone Full Open Rear Humbucker" with one shot, and with the "Blower Switch" that allows you to return to the previous setting with one shot, you can use it live with peace of mind.

Condition
The condition is clean with little signs of use.

The neck condition is as close to straight as possible, as if to say, "Tom Anderson! The neck is almost straight, and the strings are almost parallel to the fingerboard from the nut side to the bridge side.

The neck has been adjusted and fretted at our repair center when it arrived, so you can use it with no worries.
