Tom Anderson
Anderson Guitar Works was founded in the mid-1980s as a garage brand in California, and Tom's guitars have often been described as "the best guitars on the planet.

Only the finest and most beautiful woods are selected from the lumber mill. 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. This means that when you pick up a Tom Anderson, you can be assured of consistent quality and equally outstanding performance, no matter which model you choose.

Tom Anderson guitars have been used by many famous musicians, including Richie Sambora, John Sykes, Vivian Campbell, and many other great hard rock guitarists, and surprisingly, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones also used Tom Anderson guitars. There was also a time when Keith Richards and Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones were using it. 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
This guitar has a quilted maple top with a strong undulation, and swamp ash for the back material.
Hard rock maple is used for the neck material. Only the neck is satin-finished to ensure playability.

The neck shape is "Even Taper," which is a standard feature of Tom Anderson guitars, and allows for smooth fingering.

Equipped with the well-known Buzz Phaeton tuning system, the guitar has excellent tuning accuracy and sound separation.

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

Pickups
The default pickups are SF1R SF1 H2+, but they have been changed to SD-1R SK-2 H3 pickups.
SD-1R and SK-2 are very rare pickups that are not available now.
The H3 pickups are Tom Anderson's "H3" pickups, which are not available now.

The H3 pickups are Tom Anderson's quarter-pounder type pickups with stronger output.
This layout is recommended for those who want to play hard rock.

Controls.
The original wiring was to use a mini-switch to add the rear sound even in position 1 and 2 when the coil script and tone controls are turned up, but the mini-switch allows you to force the rear BROWER switch, TONE?PUSH/PULL→all coil single split. The wiring has been changed to an easy-to-understand and practical specification.

Condition
There are some parts that have been replaced, such as the pegs, PU, and controls, but the condition is quite good for a used instrument, and it is in beautiful condition with few scratches.
The neck condition is almost as 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 condition is almost parallel to the fretboard from the nut side to the bridge side, and the strings are almost parallel to the fretboard.
