uh.but you're probably too young to have seen that ad. "They laughed when I sat down to play my.". I walked into a rehearsal that had been called "to mike up all the acoustic guitars" with a Variax 700 Acoustic (solid mahogany bodied guitar that just *looks* like a thin-bodied acoustic, but that runs modeling firmware, and that doesn't need "miking up") and folks looked at me as if I had a penguin growing out of my head. Most of the worship leaders (and followers and even casual hang-around buddies) with acoustics are beating on Taylors at the high end and Yamaha, Seagull and BlueRidge something or other down below, with a very small smattering of Martins and an even smaller smattering of Gibsons. Honestly, I haven't seen a Tom Anderson acoustic guitar yet. Asking "how hot are the pickups" is a bit like asking "how hot are Seymour Duncan pickups." As with a lot of pickup manufacturers, there are a variety of pickups available. I've had some of his pickups on a few of my guitars for years. Tom Anderson makes some great guitars across the board excellent playability, good materials and construction and some well-considered design differences that just make sense. How the heck would someone find out what the #1 Worship Leader Guitar might be someone actually tracks that? And Why? They used to make electrics with a Baggs or Fishman power bridge, but no longer.Ĭlick to expand.*Headscratch* I've never seen a Tom Anderson in the hands of a Worship Leader here in LA. He does make a guitar called the Crowdster, (named for David Crowder), that is a solid body that is strung with acoustic strings and sounds like a plugged in acoustic. Yes they are pricey, but no more than a similar PRS, Fender Custom Shop or Gibson Custom Shop. From the Anderson website you can find a dealer near you. Not going to find a big inventory of them anywhere. That said, there are varying versions of S, T and LP body shapes, multiple neck carves with options to oversize or undersize, two nut widths, two headstock designs, different bridges and other components, and a gazillion PUP designs.Īnderson guitars are sold at select Guitar Centers in their Platinum line:īut remember they make three a day. Really the only thing you can't spec is the fretboard radius, the neck joint, the headstock, and the basic body shape. The other two are "modern versions" or Super Strats for lack of a better term. Two sound exactly like a real 62 Fender Strat that I was able to compare them with. There are just so many wood options, scale lengths, components and PUPS. There are so many options you can choose in spec'ing his guitars, that you can get them to sound as modern or vintage as you want. You will read some subsequent posts that claim that Andersons are "too modern." That is not accurate. They are super high quality and in the realm of Suhr, Grosh, Tyler, Melancon, etc. He builds three or so guitars a day, and sells PUPS to other manufacturers and to the aftermarket in general.

I went to work with Jeff again a few months after World Guitars opened and stayed there for over ten years. When Jeff sold Machinehead, took a break and then started World Guitars a few years later, he continued stocking Tom Anderson Guitars. Mark from R enegade here - My personal history goes way back with Tom Anderson, right back to the early '90s when I worked at Machinehead Music and they were one of the first UK stockists.
