operation. A thread started on TGP says Tom Anderson is going down to a 1-man operation and only going to build a small number of guitars each year. Not sure how true this is, except that is seems that multiple dealers have stated this and even John Suhr chimed in on the thread to confirm. www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=187035Good for Tom if that's what he wants, but it will make it harder to acquire more Anderson's now and they'll cost a lot more $$$ than the already do!

Doh! They are hard to come as it is over here in the UK. Still kicking myself over letting one of his (s/h) hollow t's slip through my fingers. Don't like the shape of his Atom much but people who have played them really rate it.

If that's true the prices for Anderson would go up to the extreme in the future.

TA's been at it for a long time. maybe it's time for him to slow down a bit and enjoy life.
i think his guitars play nice but, as with most other boutique electric guitars, they leave me cold for the most part.

You would think if he doesn'tlike running the business to put others he can rely on in charge of looking after that . That probably isn't easy but it is another route he could consider . I don't think a one horse show is going to be any easier for him to handle , in fact it will probably be worse with the phone ringing and trying to build too . He will not find it easy to make this change unless he pretty much lives as a hermit !!

My TAG has been in the case for almost a year. I pulled it out last night after reading this news about Tom downsizing to only himself. Great guitars, it was a thrill to play it again.

I've got one of my Andersons on consignment right now. Might be better to pull it and wait a while. This is going to make Grosh happy!

I love my TA. Wonderful guitar! But now that I hear this news, I believe a Suhr will be my next guitar. Always wanted one of his anyway! Harold

This is truely a sad day. Tom Andersons are my favorite guitars and I only have one. I still need a Cobra, T-style, and a Crowdster. Guess I'll have to try to get them ASAP before they get too expensive.
