It's nice to have a local store with a selection of Andersons. I'm in no way affiliated, but I do like having a local shop with high quality equipment! The hollow Atom is especially sweet!

That's a nice collection Kevin and Vinnie have on the wall.Maybe a couple T types are in the future,too? I predict someone will have a few more by years end. ;)

You aren't implying that I'm going to buy more, eh? :)

I'm holding out for my drop top that is on order. I played Vinnie's Drop Top recently. . . I completely forgot how awesome the SA's sound!

The Hollow Atom there through the Randall modular Plexi module is insane sounding. I'm pretty sure that I don't want to A/B my Atom and the hollow Atom. . .I don't want to know if the hollow one sounds better.

The green Cobra has an all-rosewood neck if you've ever been interested in checking that out.

I could see a classic in my future. I want a set of v-drums before then though. :) I guess I'd better finish another game. . . . .

That is a gorgeous Atom!

My local place never usually has more than a couple in stock. :confused:

I ordered a Tom Anderson Classic through Northwest Guitars and it was simply a pleasure through and through. The guitar is great(!) and Kevin and Vinnie are courteous, friendly and obviously care on a personal level that their customers are happy and get the right gear!

I am a very satisfied customer!!

Are you the guy with the amazing classic that was the guitar of the week a while back (the week after mine)?

Yah, that would be mine. I really like it...it is definitely different from my old Strat and I am still learning a lot about the volume tone and mini switch. Lots more sounds and much to learn!!

It is a beaut isn't it! Credit goes to the folks at TA and Northwest guitars! In particular, Roy (at TA) gave me a lot of help in deciding what to get and his advice was really good!

I've been threatening to have a Anderson enthusiast get together in the Seattle area (maybe at NW Guitars?) Would you be interested?
