Namm 2013!

[R2D2]

It's going to be NAMM soon! Anything that anyone is looking forward to see this year? And by any luck, will we see anything new from TAG :D ???

[Pietro]

I'm watching this space for all the details!

[replayboy]

I remember Tom saying months ago he was working on something? The Peizo talk is still around and there was a thread on thinline T's or something??? Or was that just me wishfully thinking ???:)

[tom]

this year has been full of moving and getting the new shop up to speed so there has not been as much time available to play around. we'll have some fun colors and combinations, and a little crowdy twist. but mostly the same old boring great playing guitars:D oh, and any visiting lefties will get to play a bulldog.

[Pietro]

...mostly the same old boring great playing guitars...

NOT boring!

[Briggs]

and a little crowdy twist.

So is the twist little or the crowdy? a crowdy ukelele maybe? :D sorry, I couldn't resist...

[Pietro]

bouzouki? Oud?

[R2D2]

Will we see ANDERSON JAZZ BOX as surprise!! Haha!
Looking forward to the fun colors! :D

[picnic]

I as lucky to be able to attend th 07 and 08 shows. the TAG booth was an oasis in the middle of 10,000 Guitar Centers that had exploded. Good Lord is there a lot of stuff to see. You want to keep moving to cover the couple of million sq ft of vendors, but if you hang at a booth, you never know who is going to sit down and put on an incredible display.

Tom's booth always a fun spot, nice people and of course the guitars shine.

[enr1co]

Looking forward to seeing some new "same old boring great playing guitars"!

Tom's booth does feel like the "Cheers" tavern amongst the surrounding
"10,000 exploding guitar center" madness :)

Have drool bib and camera ready to go...

[jness]

Hi Tom,

Any info on the Lefty Bulldog available? Photos?

Hope you and the rest of the crew at the shop are doing great!

Joe

[tom]

it';s just finishing up in paint. it is a fire burst with 2 humbuckers and it's lookin pretty sweet.

[R2D2]

showcasing any new color Tom? :D

[pluto]

as a person who never get to go to these things, I seriously always look forward to enrico's NAMM pics every year!!

[ConnemaraGuitar]

Hey, Pete...I bet it's gonna be "f" holes!

[Pietro]

I think we know f-holes are NOT in the picture, guys.

Honestly, with a product line this perfect, Tom... what could you POSSIBLY add anyway?

[R2D2]

How about some long scale Bulldog :cool:

[Big Harry]

How about some long scale Bulldog :cool:
Wow !!! :eek:
after this demand , I will NOT say a word about those my 2 f...ts more ...you know already :)

[enr1co]

as a person who never get to go to these things, I seriously always look forward to enrico's NAMM pics every year!!

Thanks Mark- will try not to let you down! Wont get to the show until SAT but Im certain some one will have posted some pics of Tom's NAMM show goodies prior :)

We're doing the drive from Nor Cal into LA this year so will make a few excursion stops to finally see what Normans rare guitars is about and then pass by Sunset Blvd to the Mesa Hollywood store and others. Will try my best to maintain domestic harmony by not bringing home a Koa top bulldog or something similar ;)

[bud]

Wow !!! :eek:
after this demand , I will NOT say a word about those my 2 f...ts more ...you know already :)

I miss this place. I have spent lots of time playing my Anderson's over the past year (but not talking about them). Y'all are still here talking about the same "near and dear" issues (f-holes, twen-tee-fore Fr3ts) and it does my heart good. Look forward to seeing some of you at NAMM (and talking about it more here)

[R2D2]

Wow !!! :eek:
after this demand , I will NOT say a word about those my 2 f...ts more ...you know already :)

Hahaha! On another serious note, can't wait to see all the new releases in NAMM though, have been holding back my gear purchase until NAMM is over in case there's something cool and new from there.

[tom]

for any lefties attending, we will have a fun guitar for you to play. off in an hour.

[Briggs]

Hey Tom, any chance of you posting some pics after your booth is set up?

[tom]

i am only taking my phone with me this trip and i have not done any photobucket stuff on it before so i'm not sure i will know how to embed pics but i'll give it a shot...maybe.

[Briggs]

That's cool, I can wait for enr1co's pics... :)

[pipedwho]

Hopefully your phone looks like this :eek: ;)

Maybe your "Software Developer" guy can help with that!? :D

[tom]

Its not an apple product so he'll probably ridicule me.

[markus]

I see. Maybe we need to have a word with him! :p

[Briggs]

just make sure any pictures are compatible will all operating systems... :D

[jness]

Can't wait to see some pics of the lefty bulldog... wish I was there to give it a test drive... might be better that I don't... it would probably cause great guitar anxiety...

Hope you have a great show Tom!

[tom]

Thanks enrico. It has been crazy busy weekend. Meeting lots of great Andy owners felt very nice to have so many happy guitar players visit. My face hurts from smiling for the camera.
The mini recto was a great choice for booth amp. It didnt spend much time with the clean channel on:D

[Briggs]

Oh my. Love them all but the new 'dog headstock on the crowdy! Is that going to be standard now? Love it!!!! Thank you Enrico for all the pics!!

[Pietro]

Nice stuff!

No Atoms? Have the Bulldogs "replaced" them in so many hearts?

The 3 on a side is a GREAT idea on the Crowdster, but I think I still prefer my 6 on a side version...

[BigE]

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/3577307/view/P1010788.JPG


I want this one. Wonder if it could be done in Pink sparkle? Tom?

[enr1co]

Thank you Tom- it was nice to catch up w/ you and your crew in the AM calm before the storm! There was definitely heightened craziness that day!

OK, I've been away a while, but do my eyes deceive me?

Is that a matching headstock on a maple board? :eek:

Bwahaha! You're eyes are fine... Here's a little backstory:

http://andersonforum.com/board/showthread.php?t=9366&highlight=matching+headstock+maple

[ClayCromer]

Tom, those are some beautiful guitars. Simply outstanding. Many blessings to you and the team in 2013.

[curtisjames]

..........How many miles can I drive on a tank of Andy-gas, got it bad .........I want one of each

[Pietro]

So... is the 3-on-a-side headstock an option for the Crowdster now? or is the Crowdster only available with it? Or perhaps this was just an excuse to do something wacky...?

[gibson5413]

The Crowdster looks great with the Bulldog style headstock. That purple dream type color looks fantastic and I absolutely love Metallic Orange! Great looking group of guitars!

[tom]

Judging by response at the show, 3 on a side will probably become standard on the crowdy.

[gibson5413]

Have you and the team recovered?

BTW, I sent you a PM. I will follow up a little later this afternoon.

[Briggs]

I could so fit both capos on one of those... So when will you start taking orders for replacement necks? :D

[Pietro]

Not me... I love it just the way it is...

I'm still surprised that you showed zero Atoms...

[replayboy]

I don't remember seeing a single coil in the bridge of a drop top before? Is that new?

[replayboy]

Sorry, I meant in the metallic orange classic.

[replayboy]

God, how embarrassing, just answered my own question, went on the Anderson site and there they are, loads of them!!!! My excuse is I'm a dyed in the wool T. Type man!! Great guitars at the show and love the purple faded colour, can't wait to see the new faded range being offered, I think Tom and the gang need to start a GUITAR OF THE DAY !!! Who else would like that ??;)

[bsmith]

The Guitars look great Tom!! :)

[wodka]

So now the inevitable question. Where are they all going?

[tom]

will be sending them out this week, will post where they are going in the next day or so.

[mdrs]

One is more beautiful than the next. We already KNOW that they all play amazingly well. Congrats, Tom. You and your team have maintained an amazing level of excellence. That doesn't happen by mistake.

Oh, and that must have been Roy sitting in the Anderson booth in that photo, right?

......maybe?

:)

[tom]

the orange shirt is the layaway. roys always has bright colored something on.

[nessgfonky]

Thank you very much for photos, they are very cool, amazing Anderson guitars !

A question for Tom: which is the name of the color of this guitar in photo, which I find really magnificent :

Thanks in advance

Maybe : natural transpurple to transpurple burst ?

Christophe :)

for my first post here , want to say :eek: to this stunning beauty , I love the blend of fender/tele/gibson touches, and those pickup covers just set it off !

[guitarzan]

This is the second year in a row that I walked in to the booth and my eyes were immediately taken hostage by a Bulldog Pup.

Everything is gorgeous, but these got a little extra sass to them. :)

[nessgfonky]

"The" Cobra purple surf is already sold through Maken'music !! Incredible !!

It's normal for an incredible guitar ...........!:eek: :eek:

[bsic]

I just played that lefty bulldog last thursday/friday at Jerry's. Also played another lefty bulldog he had in stock.

Guys i must say, i was blooooown away. Thought it would be nice, but had no idea it would be THIS nice. Loved so much about it- comfortable, played great, excellent frets, beautiful, bla bla... not sure if im going to get this exact one, or order a new one. But i know i WANT a bulldog badly!
