I've played a few Suhrs over recent years and they are stellar pieces of work as well. Its the tone in my head and the feel my hands look for when I play. I've had my Hollow Cobra S since 08 and its as ridiculously awesome today as it was then. At the time I thought a guitar that expensive was a pipe dream, but a close friend back in 08 actually purchased one for me.

And if there is ever a need to crossover into humbucker-land with this guitar, it would be safe to do so.” 011 gauge strings and M-Series pickups jamming together, there is nothing that can even begin to approach the awesome and musically complex single coil prowess of this formidable instrument. And if that wasn’t enough, we made this guitar for Michael, and with his choice of. Its silky and sleek T/A Standard neck does nothing but accelerate all that you know, linking musical phrases together with seamless fluidity. “Once you wrap your hands around this baby, there is no turning back. Rachel explained that this was the first time Transparent Red had ever been bursted to the body’s perimeter via a deeper, darker Red, and it was lovely! Plus, this specific color treatment has never been seen on any Anderson before.Ĭhuck reinforced her position by pointing out how tastefully the use of Gold Hardware accents and lends a touch of class to this brand new hue.Įric, always the pragmatist, pointed out the obvious and not so obvious. Apparently, they were really seriously about the Transparent Red to Dark Red Burst, Classic becoming Guitar of the Week and there was no convincing them otherwise.

With the sound of splintering wood, Rachel, Chuck and Eric burst through the door. Something was wrong and they were coming. They had found me! Looking from the window, torchlight illuminated the grounds around the tower as a battering ram slammed into the front door. The night wore on.Īll of a sudden, from below I could hear the thunderous echoing of the giant metal ring doorknockers and the sound of an angry mob outside.

When Chuck, the Dreaded Keeper of the Stone (the illustrious painter of Anderson Guitars), enters a room you might expect him to approvingly announce his opinion as to which guitar should be showcased for Guitar of the Week.
