No more Tom Anderson....

[VulfgangPfuck]

How many years will it take him to paint a Dinky body? :ROTF:

Well when he's working on his own, without a huge shop environment, and has very limited access to funds and materials on a constant basis...

Couple that with a divorce, a move, a new child, having to sell off your life's worth of gear and axes.....

I imagine a couple years.

[charvelguy]

I wanna see his house.

LMAO!

Look at it as a positive instead of a negative. While he won't be turning out giant numbers of guitars, the attention he gives to the ones he will be building himself will be mind-boggling in all aspects.

So he wants to be John Suhr!?!??

[Seventh Avenged]

hahaha.

i was waiting for a Suhr comment to pop up.

[L]

ack...I sold mine 3 weeks too soon!

[danastas]

Well, this thread spurred me into action. I've had my eye on this for a long long time, and now my credit card is loaded with some debt. I can't afford any more guitars, but look what I'm doing to myself. Ahhhhhhhh!!:



Just bought it. Koa top over basswood, madagascar rosewood board, floyd rose, semi-hollow drop top.

Now I have to figure out which of my current guitars I'm going to sell. GMP V anyone?

He has plenty of friends in the business that are more than willing to help with buying power for materials. Tom's been doing this longer than most so I'm sure he knows what he's up against.

Suhr he does! Why not?!



















...ok....commence firing now!

Mike,
That was kinda an inside joke between Joe and I. I have the Dinky body he referenced that's been refinished, screwed up, and now has to be re-refinished again. Wasn't my fault either....it was the wacky weather!!

I'm sure Tom will do just fine on his own. He has a lifetime of luthierie and business experience. His future pieces will be extreme works of art!

[Shawn]

Kudos to Tom Anderson for choosing his craft over his wallet.

[Adam]

True Jim....but be that as it may, I would figure Tom has such a clientele and fanbase that will continue ordering from him well after the "corperate doors" have closed.

See examples in Thorn, Koll, Soloway, Driskill, the list goes on and on.

You fucker! I was about to call Alpha Audio on that right this second! Well, you beat me by a whole day, so good luck with her. She's certainly a good looker!
