Maple that's been vulcanized. Anderson calls it "chocolate maple."

I don't think you'll get 24 frets though...hope that's not a deal breaker for you. Shouldn't be...nothing you can't bend to from the 22ndglpg80":ygku82ak said:yeah i was going to have ESP custom build my next guitar.

I absolutely refuse to pick up a Suhr or Anderson. No good will come of it.![]()
What are the neck profiles similar to? I've never had the opportunity to play a high end Strat based guitar like an Anderson or Suhr etc. I'm not a fan of thin/shallow profiles...AndyK":5qvupbsz said: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!

Anderson as well as Suhr make different neck profiles. The Drop Top standard profile is slim but nothing like a Jem or Petrucci. Anderson makes a 62 roundback which is fatter than the standard. Anyone who says their necks are too slim just didn't play the other options.

Even as consistent as guys like Suhr and Anderson build guitars there is no guarantee that a guitar built to the same spec and woods will sound the same. However a setup and maybe minor fretwork will have that Andy playing as good as new. Plus save quite a bit of coin in the process vs. A custom order. You can always flip it and get most if not all your money back later.

That's a beauty. What are the specs on it!
How do these companies always put out 'good' ones?glpg80":3ukdzqk6 said:...second, all of my guitars play 20x better than that particular Anderson did, but they dont sound ANYWHERE near as badass as that Anderson. Anderson's are also really consistant guitar to guitar. thats one thing you pay for with guys like Tom and John, and things you worry about with Gibson, Fender, Ibanez, etc.

I'm sure Suhr's and Anderson's are all made very well, and you can expect it to play well and be setup and dressed well...but every piece of wood sounds different.
Nothing beats cherry picking a guitar, finding the ones with great resonance/sustain. I have to play a guitar to hear how it sounds before I'll drop down money for it.
