Sorted WTB Tom Anderson Classic S or T

jb777

Looking for a Tom Anderson Classic S, HSS preferred but SSS considered.
Possibly a T, 3 pickup version would be the better option for me.
Newer neck joint is a must.
I’ve seen some in WG and Reverb but they’re all at mint drop top prices so a no go as I’d like to retain both kidneys if possible.

There’s a rather nice 3 pickup T on EBay at the moment...

jb777

Yes I’ve seen that one, I bought it on reverb for a realistic price but the buyer cancelled the transaction and resisted at £3k, shame, it was perfect for me.

Nice Luke 2 by the way, I had the same in Teal and miss it

Thanks, it’s a lovely thing but I’m totally into TA’s and nothing else will do...

Thanks for the nod, I’d really like HSS and the newer heel, good luck with the sale

out of interest have you tried both heels....personally I prefer the old 4 bolt joints, the newer style feels chunkier to me, my mate has one and for me it's not as nice

I prefer the older 4 bolt as well as it happens.

jb777

Yes I’ve tried both, owned, sold and regretted selling both but I just prefer the new heel

Odd seller, its on ebay for £2400 now but when he listed it originally on the bay it was at £1750. I contacted him a couple of days later to ask a few questions and he said he was putting its price up....wtf? 

jb777

Yup, I paid and a hour later he cancelled the transaction on Reverb. It’s his guitar at the end of the day but that’s not how the games played. I think he’s a legit seller though.

I asked qurstions as well at 1750 then it dissapeared, them reappeared at 2400.

At that point i thought:.

A.  Thats s little high
B.  Wont deal with him even at 1000 now.

It is what it is.

Used Anderson prices like all the rest have shot up £600 or more in the past year, its rare to see reasonably priced ones now. This might stand a bit of a bid, may £2250. Its HSS. Always so few TA's in the UK

 I paid £2250 for my TA Hollow Drop Top s/h , I've sold every other electric guitar and thats the only one I've kept " just in case"
fantastic guitars but stupidly expensive new nowadays

Sorted, thanks Steven, not a TA but one I had my eye on years ago when it was just in at guitarguitar.
