My new Hollow T Classic

[Yngve]

Just got my third Anderson. Got this one from Eddie's guitars, and it's my second HTC. This is a new guitar, and was just what I was looking for this time: No contours, alder body, +.030 oversize even taper, medium frets, wedgie, chrome hardware and the classic tobacco burst with tinted neck.

Of course it's an amazing guitar, beeing an Anderson. It weights only 2.550 kg (5.6 lbs) measured on my kitchen weight... I also was a bit surprised to see the alder top with some figures... Usually alder is pretty plain, but this one might look a bit like ash if I'm not mistaking?


Here are some pics :)

[Yngve]

Thanks you guys :)

Tom, in general how much more than a hollow does a solid T weigh? As mine weights around 5.6 lbs, how much would you estimate the chambering alone cut down the weight?

[tom]

on alder it can be a good pound. on ash, a bit less.

That's just a beautiful HT you've got there. Congrats.

btw,

What did you shoot that guitar with? Digital SLR I'm guessing, but what lens? What kind of lighting?

VERY nice photography.

VERY nice photography.
I used a Samsung S600, a low-end digital amateur camera. I don't know anything about photographing yet cause I got it from my parents this Christmas and the batteries wears out all the time, but it's sure fun to play with.

I used a tripod and the camera set to auto without flash, except the last picture where I used the flash. The shots were taken in my living room at the evening, so the lightning is just plain regular lamps in my living room. I just made sure to point the light sources away from the guitar to try to minimize reflections.

Also, I edited the photos in photoshop with the usual "spot healing tool" to remove some reflections and shadows.

I'm glad you liked the photos. Thanks for the kind words :)
Here's one of my strats, shot in the same way as above:
