Tom Anderson Bulldog

Here's another great Tom Anderson guitar- the Bulldog.  This one is from West Chester Music:
http://www.westchestermusicstore.com/product_p/tagw-bulldog.htm
http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/westchestermusic.html

Theses guitars have a bolt on neck, rather than a set neck, but it's attached in a unique way.  You've got to experience it.  The pickups are counter-sunk, and that puts your picking hand at a comfortable angle.

I had one of these for a while, and they have flawless workmanship, and terrific tone.

Tom Anderson Hollow T Classic

Great Tom Anderson from Wildwood guitars:


Great finish.  Anderson calls it "Sheer Gold", although it looks like natural to me.  The body is Swamp Ash, for that great biting tone.  It also has the Anderson VA booster, for enhanced tone variety.

Here's  a review from guitarvideoreviews.com, although he's playing a three pickup version, you'll get the idea:

1974 Martin D-18

Looks like a nice one.  I played one of these a few years ago and I was very tempted to pull the trigger, but I went with a smaller bodied martin instead.  It sounded great, though.

This one is available at Gorby's Music, Inc. :

Bourgeois D-150 Brazilian Rosewood

If you've never played a Brazilian Rosewood Dread, you're missing out on one of the finer things life can offer!
This gorgeous guitar is available at Sutton Strings:

PRS McCarty Korina Soapbar with Brazilian Fretboard

This is the one that I regret selling!  Well, not this specific guitar, but I had a PRS McCarty Korina Soapbar, in the same color, that I loved!  I sold it on a whim, and when I saw this at Guitar Hangar, my heart went pitter-patter!

These sound great!  The combo of the P-90'S and the Korina is magic.  Check this out at Guitar Hangar:

Martin M-36

Martin M-36 wth pickups, from Willie's American Guitars

http://www.williesguitars.com/index.cfm/martin_acoustics/4/inventory/19

http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/williesamerican.html

The M (0000) size is a great balance between the Dreadnoght and the 000 size.  Good volume and projection, good for strumming and fingerstyle.

I'm not crazy about 3 piece backs, but this one looks pretty good.  25.4 inch scale, Rosewood back and sides, and Sitka Spruce top.






Here's a demo from Youtube:

PRS Custom 22 LEFTY Limited Edition

Only 125 of these are available in the US.  Willcutt Guitars has one:

http://willcuttguitars.com/paul-reed-smith/prs-lefties/prs-custom-22-lefty-smoked-cherry-burst-10-top



http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/willcuttguitars.html

10 Top, 59/09 pickups (if you've never heard these, you're really missing out-- they are amazing!), coil tap, Tremolo Bridge.

Here's a sample of the 59/09 pickups, though I'm not sure it's on the same model PRS.  Looks that way, though.
You'll at least get an idea of what the pickups sound like.

PRS STUDIO QUILT 10 TOP

Available at A Sharp Music Co. http://www.asharpmusicco.com/electrics/prs/studio/blackslate/blackslate.html

http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/asharpmusicco.html

Gotta love those quilted maple tops!  This one has the "Pattern Thin" neck, which I find the most comfortable neck I ever played.

It also has 57/08 pickups:  a full humbucker in the bridge, and the neck and middle are the narrowfield.  Of all the PRS pickups, I think these sound the best, although the 59/09's are a close second.


Here's a www.premierguitar.com video review, although the guitar he's reviewing has a wrap around tailpiece, instead of the PRS Tremolo on A Sharp's music's guitar.

    Suhr Guthrie Govan Modern Set Neck from Tone Merchants


    http://www.tonemerchants.com/products/guitars/suhr/suhr-guthrie-govan-modern-set-neck/

    http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/tonemerchants.html

    Another beautiful mahogany, this has splittable H-S-H pickups, with a 16" neck radiius.

    If you buy this guitar, you'll instantly play like Guthrie Govan! (Well, not really!!)

    Looks great. I like the fact that the wiring is routed in the back, so there's no pick guard.  Looks like a real "players" guit.

    Here's a video of guthrie at Tone Merchants at NAMM 2010

    Gibson's new Les Paul Traditional All Mahogany

    http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Traditional-Mahogany-Satin.aspx

    Two piece mahogany top, and weight releived mahogany body.  It has a '57 classic in the neck (my favorite of Gibson's pups), and a higher output '57 plus in the bridge.

    The neck isn't the 50's baseball bat, but the 60's slimmer neck, with a 12 inch radius.

    Can't wait to try one of these, I love all hog gitys.
