Tom Anderson Cobra S arrives!

Lava Man

After several months of waiting, she finally arrived yesterday perfect timing for the blues jam I go each week. First new electric guitar purchase in more than 6 years...

Of course the wife had no idea I bought it and when the UPS man came and was at the door I said: "Look what you got me for Father's Day Honey!" Thanks! Luckily she was a good sport about it...

It 's purple, dual humbucker, with Indian Rosewood neck and gold harwdware with Buzz Feiten tuning system (I'll post some pics soon...)

All I have to say is WOW! After playing my only other electric - a 2001 AM Strat w/EMG's that needs a fret job and is pretty beat-up with about 7 years of playing on it this piece of art is a real treat! Tom say's his guitar's a re designed tp "play like butter" and man this thing does!

I had been complaining about the lack of headroom with my Dr. Z Maz 18 Jr. 1x12 NR, but with this guitar there was PLENTY of it! Tone was just gushing....

Nothing like the feeling of playing on a well-crafted instrument...took me a long time to get one... (Did own a green Valley Arts Strat once though - bough in '92 sold in '93)

Hat's of to Tom and his workers for superb quality and craftmanship!

Re: Tom Anderson Cobra S arrives!

great!

yeah, i think he and suhr both make excellent pickups for their guitars ... you'll have to let us know if you can hear the difference between the feiten and the standard when you switch between guitars

Sweet lookin axe!
A real beauty.
One thing i never understood why three strap buttons?
A balance thing?

If I may butt in...Tom says he's just not much of a guitar-stand guy, and prefers the built-in stability the pegs on the bottom edge offer when put down.

Oh man, I freakin love that! This guy builds these amazing instruments, and prefers to lean them against something. What that says to me is that he views them as guitars.... not museum pieces or collector crap.

BTW, that Cobra is gorgeous!
 
Re: Tom Anderson Cobra S arrives!

What is the body wood??

Nice gweethar man! have fun playing the crappola outta that one.
 
Re: Tom Anderson Cobra S arrives!

is it pretty heavy since it is Mahogany??

Nice axe man. Mahogany is a GREAT tonewood.
Hows the tone on that sucker?? Lots of low end??

Makes me want to put a conversion neck on my mahogany super strat. **** sweet.
