I just want to tell you all about the fantastic repair job Bruce Nelson & TAG performed on my 1993 Classic (09-02-93A). I'm the original owner of this guitar and as you could imagine it had seen better days. My Classic had been worked on many times before by other repairmen for things such as pickup replacements, a refret, bridge replacement, and even a BFTS retrofit.
Recently I decided it was time to bring it by the TAG shop and have Bruce & Co. work their magic on it. Bruce refretted the 1-piece maple neck with the new jumbo SS frets and the neck was refinished. :) The wiring had to be redone, so Bruce installed new volume and tone pots and a new input jack. A new Tusq nut was cut and installed and the BFTS was properly set-up. Additionally, the finish on the body was given the equivalent of a Beverly Hills facial peel. The finish was sanded and buffed and it now looks brand spanking new. :D Unfortunately I don't know the name of the person who worked on the body finish, but they did a stellar job. The long scratches on the back of the guitar from beltbuckles and shirt buttons are now completely gone. :) Also gone are all the nasty polish swirls and scratches on the front of the guitar.
A couple of things I learned from this are:
1.) If you need repair work done to your Anderson, send it to Anderson. They know what they are doing. Sounds simple, but it is so true. :)
2.) Don't use an old polish rag to clean your guitar. Especially if it's a rag you use to change strings with. :eek:
3.) Bruce Nelson is Da Man.
I am so happy right now, I basically have a "brand new" Anderson guitar. It looks and plays fantastic. :D
Thanks Bruce & TAG.
