Received my newest addition today:

Classic - Swamp Ash
3 color burst
VA7/VA7R/VA7+
tremelo/locking
small 50's v neck
jumbo frets
1 11/16"

Originally ordered with light green pickguard, but apparently it wasn't available, so went with aged white guard.

Played for a bit tonight. Very resonant unplugged. Lightweight (under 7 lbs). Great vintage strat sounds. Just what I wanted. Awesome grain on top and back. Tight burst at edges. Dark fretboard. Yummy!!

Thanks again to the whole team at TAG for this playable piece of art.

Congrats on beautiful guitar !
I am glad there is someone else preferring jumbo frets .

Is that really good match : Jumbo's and '50 s v small neck ?

Cheers,
Zoran

Those frets look great- I like how flat they are on top. I have the small V on my TA and it is really a nice feeling neck.... enjoy!

Love the 50s v neck and jumbos frets. Was worried the 'small' 50s neck would be too small, but is actually nice and chunky, with a gentle 'v'. Bigger than my happy medium, similar to my even taper +0.50 just with shoulders shaved to give the v shape.
Thanks for the kind words.

Who else in the entire industry makes a Strat, and makes sure that the "V" in the grain on the back of the swamp ash body all line up with the belly cut out???

Andersons ROCK!

Congrats on a beautiful guitar!!
