These are the original superstrats from the 80s that almost every session guitarist had back in the day. I'd really like to try out a mahogany bodied Anderson.Īnybody wanting to experience the guitars Tom Anderson builds should definitely check this guitar out. I really think it was because of the alder body. The biggest problem with mine was that it sounded a bit too bright for me. They don't sound exactly like a single coil, but they're about as close as you can possibly get from a humbucker. One unique thing about Anderson pickups is that they sound fairly authentic when split. The switching system allowed you to split each humbucker or have the inner coils selected for that John Petrucci style setup. The H1 delivered some of the sweetest neck tones I've ever heard, although I might have liked a tad more output. The H3 is a higher output pickup that can do anything from blues to metal. You can tell Tom spent tons of time engineering this guitar to be as perfect as possible.ĭespite this only having two humbuckers, it was crazy versatile. Anyone who thinks that it's not a stable joint is a moron, period. Mine had the new 2 bolt joint which allowed for an extremely tight joining of the neck to the body there's no room for movement at all. The stainless steel frets were absolutely perfect, the finish was spot on, the neck felt wonderful and everything was put together flawlessly. The Anderson quality really showed with this guitar. The switching system was the 5 way blade with the push/pull tone knob that allows you to split the inner coils. It came equipped with two humbuckers - H3 and H1. My particular model featured an alder body, maple flamed top, maple neck and maple fretboard. He offers various models with various options to cater towards his customers.
