TA got competition!

[1990hollow-t]

Saw a review of these guitars the other month here in the UK and promptly forgot until today...

The review model T was very Andy-like,a Butterscotch blackguard with Anderson style headstock and no bridge plate.I notice those on the website have the tuners split on either side of the headstock.The S-type are also similar.

I must admit when I first glanced through the review I though they were a few hundred pound TA copy but seemingly they are about £1500!

A friend of mine was given one to demo for an endorsment deal and I got to try it. Played ok but in not in the same calss as a TAG. Neck felt odd and the one thing that bucgs me the most is you felt the frets all along the neck, never been a problem on tag. Over all not bad but not the same qaulity.

Seems the similarities begin and end with the headstock with the oversized "R", but I think it looks more like Suhr's than Anderson's headstock. Actually, the ones with the tuners on both sides look more like Ernie Ball's.

I just had a look around his site... apparently one of Rahbek's top endorsers is named Thomas Andersson.

maybe my evil twinn.

I think that the body looks much more like that of Grosh than Andy.

Wait a minute, I thought YOU were the evil twin. :p

The guitars look pretty nice. Very ernie ball looking to me. Its a golden age for us guitar players. There are many great builders are out there.

That Thomas Andersson guy needs to have a Tom Anderson guitar don't you think? I'd say this thread should read, "Raybek got competition!"

[Suriel Zayas]

someone should teach him how to spell anderson correctly. or as the commercial goes, "leave off the last 's' for savings."
