Hi all,
I’ve been lurking here for a few weeks reading and learning all I could about TAGs. I’ve played Stats and LPs for many years but was only recently turned on to these amazing guitars by a friend. I just picked up a truly gorgeous HDTC and have been in tone nirvana the past few days...man are my fingertips sore from playing so much!
The funny thing is, I had the opportunity to know more about Anderson guitars a long time ago. I’ve lived in Thousand Oaks (next to Newbury Park) for years, and back when my wife and I moved into our first condo we received a nice welcome visit from one of our new neighbors. Somehow it came up that I played guitar and she mentioned that she worked for a local guitar maker named, you guessed it, Tom Anderson Guitarworks. Having never heard of him, I think my response was something lame like, “Oh that’s cool, I play a Strat” LOL!
If only I knew then what I know now!!!
Here she is:
