Looking for a meaty pickup?

[sylvanshine]

This fake Anderson caught my eye on eBay. Take a look at the description on the pickups. Now that is meaty!

Looks more like a Tyler then a TA............Too bad its a LEAD guitar.......I wanted a Rythm one......... :rolleyes:

lol

I dunno, I would assume that I fine guitar maker (like Tom, who made this one) would offer a Rhythm Model as well. I think he just swaps out the Humbuger pups for another set... something less meaty. Although I imagine that a Humbuger can still work on the Rhythm Model as well if you just scrape the volume off a bit. I'm sure it's just a matter of taste.

Do you get fries with that humbuger? :D

[funalij]

And I wonder if someone had asked the seller if finish is ketchup color to complete humburgers :D :D

Hi,

What part of this guitar was actually made by Tom Anderson Guitar Works?

Also, what's a "HUMBUGER"? Is that someone who hates Christmas but after getting visited by 3 ghosts has a change of heart and becomes a nice guy, or is it a fried chopped beef patty on bread? Either way, your description of the guitar made me hungry.

Thanks!

Dave

Darnit! I forgot to ask him if the fries came with it. :mad:

our new advanced single coil is going to be called the hot dug.

[olectric]

our new advanced single coil is going to be called the hot dug.

...so you're coming out with new advanced single coils? Did you just give out secret information?



<small> I'm on to you. </small>

[sylvanshine]

our new advanced single coil is going to be called the hot dug.

Can you give us a ballpark idea of what it sounds like? Bada bing! Is this thing on? (tap) (tap)

[tom]

it's all beef, and has a nice pop when you bite it.

[guitarzan]

one of the things I've learned from doing sessions is that producers and engineers are always using the oddest adjectives when asking for the right tone. "I want something more orange with a touch of beano and some knuckle drag to it. Also, can you give me that 'teeth-on-the-neck' feel?"

But now, FINALLY, with these new advanced single coil Hot Dugs, I'll be able to deliver when they ask for that "lips, hooves, and holes" sound!

Thanks, Tom!

[tom]

we aim to please. producers are always looking for that new meaty sound.

Before my fellow richmond forum bros (danno, noah and bill) chime in..
That guitar is actually made and sold by a local guitar shop in Richmond ....Guitar Works. They are primarily a high end acoustic store (Taylor, Martin and some fender elec.) but either make or get cheap these guitars mostly for their students. How they make the TA association is beyond me. They guy selling this apparently lives in a burb just outside of my fair town..
Oh the pain.... :rolleyes:

[Wbb]

Yeah, unfortunately this guy lives close by. :eek: His response to "Dave" is pathetic and uninformed. No connection to TAG whatsoever...doesn't Ebay pull these kinds of auctions when alerted?

[tom]

they will pull anything for us that has our logo on it because that is a trademark violation. i've had such bad luck in the past with non trademark stuff that i just let it go. it's usually as stupid as this one so it really doesn't cause a problem.

[njjessee]

Well! To think I live in the same town! Oh the shame of it all!

Actually, this is the second time I've heard the name Tom Anderson associated with Guitar Works. The first was in a conversation with a young man who purchased a bass from Guitar Works. When he asked who made my guitar, I responded Tom Anderson. If memory serves correct, he said, "Oh you bought your guitar from Guitar Works too!" Thinking he had his music stores mixed up, I said no, Richmond Music and that was the end of that. That was over a year ago.

Now this...

Yep that is from the Guitar Works store in Richmond. Small shop, sells Fender products, Martin and Taylor, and their own "Guitar Works" house brand. I believe they are made in Korea.

Of course they have NOTHING to do with TAG. Interestingly, often when I wear a TA T shirt folks ask if I work at "Guitar Works!"

Perhaps he needs to add some John Holmes pickups er I mean Tom Holmes..
