Tom Anderson 7 - What would you do?

[Wayniac]

Admins - I'm looking for input - but if this is considered a "poll" and it needs to be moved from this forum, please do so... I couldn't see any other places that this would fit....
Guys - I am lucky enough to own a Tom Anderson 7 string. I have a chance to get a second one - with a (piezo) Powerbridge. The finish is kind of plain (desert sunset - looks like a vintage sunburst), but the guitar is in very good shape and plays and sounds excellent.
I have 2 options: either pay him $$ - and for the price, I am in the ballpark to get another Soloist 7 ... or I can trade out (probably an even trade) my Imbuya Boogie MKIIC+. It is a sweet sounding amp, but no longer is in my main rig. The IIC+ is hard to come by - but the Andersons are even harder....
Thoughts? Thanks.

Those Anderson 7s are almost impossible to get and he doesn't make them anymore. Buy it.

I agree. Get the Anderson!!

Dude, this really is a no brainer, especially if you have the cash. You can always order the Jackson, but Tom is picky about what he makes. If he ends the run he won't build any unless there are special circumstances or he starts the line up again. Shit if I had the $$$ I would buy it.

You should go for it as I believe Tom Anderson doesn't make 7string guitars anymore.
By the way, you should keep the Mesa.

I replied to the first post without reading others.
I spoke my opinion and glad I was not wrong about Anderson not making them anymore.

But how does it play?

Thanks guys - pretty much my thoughts - get it, can order a Jackson or GMW later - & keep the Boogie. Just wanted to make sure I didn't have tunnel vision on this one, as I sometimes tend to get obsessed with acquiring a piece of gear....
I wouldn't mind banking the cash (just redid the living room w/ hardwood) but I guess I should just take the plunge and consider it an investement if I have to [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
It plays and sounds just as good as the other one, though it has a lower output HB in the bridge... probably to better match the piezo bridge?
Thanks guys... when I get her, I'll post pics...
