If it's not real, somebody went to a lot of trouble. Everything seems to be correct except the hideous sunburst (body and headstock). Love to see if Tom remembers this one.

That's a fake that's been on and off ebay for some time. It was addressed in this thread (http://www.andersonforum.com/board/showthread.php?t=1813&highlight=fake). Here's (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2384&item=7307705666&rd=1) the original auction.

Old auction:

New auction:
http://i19.ebayimg.com/03/i/03/f9/16/2b_1_b.JPG

It's even the same image name.

Well now (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7319967298&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1) he's spoken with Tom and confirmed that this is a real Tom Anderson guitar. He closed the old auction and started this one with a lower BIN (which is odd since he's now confirmed it's authentic, but okay).

i did email back and forth with him, and told him it was parts, not assembled by us. seems he's stretching that a bit in his ad.
