Just joined the ranks of you Anderson owners with a new 2004 Hollow Drop Top in Blue Artic Burst. Purchased at GC in Cherry Hill, NJ (apprently they are the only GC to carrry Anderson guitars). I own many other guitars (Les Pauls, a CS-336, Strats, a Tele, PRS CU22, Hamers, a few G&L's) and this one ranks up at the top.
The Buzz Feiten Tuning System is a bit of an adjustment, but seems to work well. The truss-rod adjustment is not the easiest, I have tried to give the neck some relief but can't get that screw to budge. I am nervous about damaging the finish so I think it will go off for a trip to my guitar tech.
I have been corresponding with Tom about making the HB switchable to single-coil so I can get an SSS tone when I need it. Has anyone out there done this?

Awesome Guitar!

Welcome to "the group". It kinda gets like seeing a therapist sometimes....and very addictive!

With that I'm off to Mass Street Music...

Cheers from KC

What does the mini-switch do? That should split your humbucker. No?

As it came stock from the factory, no it does not.
The mini-toggle splits the 2 stacked singles (neck and middle). The humbucker won't split unless you do the mod that Tom e-mailed to me. It means I need a different toggle.
