Mahogany neck, Rosewood board.

the grain pattern and the speckles in the neck matched the colour and character of the rosewood fretboard - seems like a rosewood neck?

one thing that is important is figuring out whatever woods that guitar was made out of - i want something identical but with a few changes (24 frets, larger frets, floating trem, etc)

ill go grab the serial number off of it later i think and see how to get ahold of more information.

Just go the Anderson site. They have a serial number search function. Very cool. Have a 25.5 scale on order, myself.

If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it's a Cobra S. 24.75 scale with LP type wood.

I'm looking for one of those myself. Not that one, no worries. Seen it already. Want just two pickups

Actually, there were quite a few stores on the East Coast that stocked Tom Andersons regularly (AL&M in Norfolk, and Indoor Storm, in Raleigh), so there are quite a few floating around out there. Here's mine. From '93, ordered by AL&M.

Holy crap that thing is beautiful.

My Hollow Classic has been been one of my main players since I got it in '97. Since my original seup I haven't needed to do a thing...every time I check intonation its still spot on. It's even moved with me from PA to CO and back to PA and never even needed so much as a neck adjustment. Tom simply makes a great guitar. Here's an action shot:

I bought and sold several Andersons. I never got used to the necks. They were just too skinny for me.
That amber quilt top I'm sure I could get used to though-wow!

Thanks -- it's an awesome guitar. Here's another pic!

I used to be an Anderson dealer. I used to love ordering the guitars, it was a blast to just put them together from my imagination. I had a Cobra for a while, really dug that guitar. It was Tiger's Eye Burst with a quilt top and totally killer.

Another long time Anderson owner here -- will never stray from Tom's offerings. Just recently placed an order for a Bulldog, waiting is the hardest part.

I love Anderson guitars. Saw Kirk Hammett's silver sparkle bowling ball thing on Live Shit: Binge and Purge, Seattle '89. Cool to see someone has one here on the boards . I've played 2 Cobra's, awesome guitars.

Here's a few i have owned.

 

[diagrammatiks]

Damn! What a beauty! And that's a Kahler Steeler trem, right? I had a '92 Drop Top with the same trem. Great quality.

 

[glpg80]

yeah i was going to have ESP custom build my next guitar.

im going to go with Tom instead. i am not shitting anyone when i say that guitar made that $400 amplifier sound like gold, and not many guitars can do that

Yeah, the Kahler Steeler is awesome. I like them better than original Floyds.
