Hey, I'm new to the forum, so I hope this post is OK--thanks for welcoming me!

I own two Andersons, a trans blue alder Classic with maple neck, and a trans plum maple/alder Drop Top Classic with rosewood fingerboard. They're both stellar instruments, but I've found over the past few years that I've been gravitating toward my maple neck instruments, so I've been gradually selling off my guitars with rosewood and ebony fingerboards.

This Anderson is the last non-maple fingerboard guitar I own, actually, and I've been very reluctant to sell it, since it's such a beautiful and toneful instrument, which lead me to wonder if someone might be interested in a trade for another Anderson ? It would be a lot easier to let this guitar go in a trade for an equally-beautiful Anderson that I'd be more likely to get real use out of.

My guitar was featured on the Anderson site when it was new back in 2002:

I don't have any current photos of the guitar, but I'll certainly be happy to take some if the trade talk were to get serious. The guitar looks exactly as in these photos, though--it's in mint condition.

I'd consider trading for virtually any Anderson with a maple fingerboard--I like 'em all. I'm more interested in solid guitars than hollow ones, and I'd be particularly interested in another Drop Top, Pro Am, or Classic. But the only absolute must is the maple neck--maybe I'm weird, and many of my favorite players use rosewood and ebony fingerboards, but I just don't feel comfy and happy on anything other than maple. Maybe it's because my first good guitar was a maple neck Strat, and I played it for many years before considering any other instruments.

So, hey, thanks again for welcoming me to the forum, and please feel free to contact me via email if you have an Anderson you'd be interested in trading for mine.

Best!

If you decide that african rosewood is OK I'd consider trading this for yours.

Hey, thanks, Mr. T... if you lived nearby, I'd say we should get together to try out the guitars. But, since we'd be dealing long-distance, I'm inclined to stick with maple, just based on past experience and personal taste.

Beautiful guitar, though!

That Trans Plum DTC is probably my favorite of all TAs! I tried to get Tom to build me one just like it, but he doesn't do those tops anymore. If it had a 1 5/8 neck, I would jump all over it. Beautiful axe! Good luck

What is it about the top that Tom doesn't do anymore? No binding?

Dang, that's nice. Too bad I don't have any maple-necked Andys! (I want one though. :) )

This is a Hollow T, absolutely mint.
Let me know if this interests you.
It was going to be a gift to someone close to me, but he doesn't like maple necks.
