Congrats Chris- beautiful looking T with the binding- Good call!

Looks like you gave yourself an early B-day present according to the serial #;)

What a pretty guitar. The binding really sets it off. The Cherry Burst finish with the pearloid pickguard is fantastic. Congratulations!

thanks guys and again thanks to Tom, Roy and all the crew that put her together for me.

I didnt know I could get a personalized serial until a month or so after I ordered it. This was the first guitar that I actually spent hours trying to figure out what I wanted... finish, pickups, neck shape, etc. and Tom let me borrow a hollow shorty with an M1 and TM2 and helped me narrow that down instantly. Putting everything together after that I felt it was only fitting to have it personalized.
the serial is my birthday and the "W" is for my last name.

The binding does really seal the deal. Thank you to all who convinced me to get it. oh yeah, she sounds great and plays even better. many thanks again.

That's a keeper, for sure. Great choices all around. I can always tell when something resonates with me, I'm back for the 4th time (so far) looking at the pics.

The alder top used for your guitar has a beautiful grain pattern and is brought out nicely with the finish choice. Thought it was swamp ash at first glance.

Congrats Chris, The binding always looks very classy on Andersons and compliments the look of a maple board nicely.

I must say if you didnt hop on and reopen my thread I wouldnt have gotten the binding and then of course posting pics of yours. I know I made the right choice. I have been playing it for a few days now and never once noticed the binding except for how awesome it is on the guitar. Never bites into my arm like my acoustic does.

I also uploaded larger photos. (sorry for the finger prints on the 2nd one)
