Seriously, do they just go to the Anderson site and say, "Hey, let's why don't WE make us one of those there thingees..."

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery . . . . .

be nice a mongrel is just a strat pg on a tele body, not rocket science.

but only Anderson will have a Shmongrel... inimitable (at least in name)

perhaps, but I had never seen one before you made it. And I'm betting dollars to donuts that they saw yours and got crackin'...

But I realize that you and Carvin don't really compete with each other. The guy who buys Carvin gets a good deal for the money, but the guy who buys Anderson isn't really even considering Carvin most likely.

I owned a Carvin years ago. EXCEPTIONALLY well made, but "soul-less" in my opinion. Then again, it was neck-thru (I know... WHAT was I thinkin'...)

Can't wait to see NAMM pics of whatever surprise you have out there, Tom.

that is one ugly headstock. Looks like they used a wooden clog for a template

It is unspeakably awful, but you don't HAVE to order that headstock, in their defense, and their regular headstock looks just fine to me.

That headstock is indeed something else.... yikes! :confused:
