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 ultraviolet 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 never breaks the system to assemble and ship one by one with certain accuracy, is still alive and well today. 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
Lightweight swamp ash body and maple neck. Only the neck is satin-finished to ensure playability.
The standard Even-Taper neck shape, 1 11/16" nut width, and jumbo 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 the neck, resulting in excellent response and sustain.

Pickups
SF1 SF1 H2+ pickups are installed.

The SF1 pickups have hum canceling construction, which gives them a richer tone than real vintage pickups without being plagued by noise.

The H2+ pickups have an extremely wide-range sound, with plenty of midrange and power while the highs and lows are fully extended.

Controls.
In addition to the simple controls of 1Vol, 1Tone, and 5-way selector, the mini-switch switches between series and parallel for the bridge PU, and VA Booster.
Pulling the tone pot changes the PU arrangement as shown below.

5-Way: 3=M, N+B with Splitter + VA Booster Switching

( 1 ) Neck
( 2 ) Neck + Middle
( 3 ) Middle or Neck + Bridge Single(Auto Split) *Tone pot Pull
( 4 ) Middle + Bridge Single(Auto Split)
( 5 ) Bridge (Split or Full Hum with Mini Toggle)

Basically, it is a normal 5-point switch, but 3=M means that in the center position, only the Mid or center pickup is used, and each PU is tapped by selecting the Neck or Bridge pickup by pulling the tone as it is. You can instantly select a dramatic change in tone.

The VA Booster is a switch that is mainly installed in combination with the 5-point selector switch and adds 4 decibels to the output of the pickups.
This may seem strange since it does not require batteries, but it is a mechanism whereby a pickup with strong power is installed in advance and the output is reduced (= VA Booster deactivated) to the same level as a normal guitar.

Condition
The guitar is in beautiful condition with minimal signs of use!

The neck condition is as straight as possible. The neck is in a near straight condition, 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.
