This 2008 Anderson Hollow Classic is a tremendous opportunity to save a bundle on one of the very best players around. This has an Alder top on a hollowed Alder body, weighing in at a perfect 6 lbs, 7 ozs. The iconic Fiesta Red finish is perfect. This is used, in Very Good condition, with a couple of small dings (see photos), and a scuff on the back horns, but otherwise is in really beautiful shape. It's loaded with Anderson's own humcanceling single coil pickups: SF1 (vintage), SF1R (vintage, reverse wound) and SF2+ (hot!) pickups. It's an outstanding combination. This has a non-tremolo fixed bridge, an incredible neck (satin back with an even taper shape) with a 1 5/8" nutwidth, and includes 5-way switching, pull adds bridge, Vintage Voicing and VA Boost. A great player at a really nice price. A non-original Grosh hard case is included. USED

This Anderson Short T Classic is as sharp as they come - especially love the tortoise pickguard on the black finish on this one. This beauty was featured at NAMM, and is loaded with HC1- and TF3 pickups, 5-way and VA Boost. The HC1- at the neck offers a boost and complement at the same time to the hum-free TF3 in the bridge position. This is an incredibly versatile instrument with an unparalleled feel, big mids and incredible classic tones. Weighs in at a very sweet 7 lbs., has a 1 11/16" nutwidth, and a fantastic neck - satin back with Happy Medium profile and low rise frets. It doesn't get much better. This Anderson Short T Classic comes with a hard case too.

If you've been craving a Crowdster, check out this Anderson Crowdster Player - what an incredible guitar. If you're seeking an acoustic sound at louder volumes with no feedback, this Player is definitely the way to go. Singer songwriters with a drummer, worship leaders, or anyone needing a great acoustic sound at louder volumes that won't feedback will really appreciate all that this guitar can do. This is a new version of their renowned instrument, at a very nice, reduced price. What are the differences here from a Crowdster? First, the neck here is Maple instead of Mahogany, with a very light satin finish. Maple is a lot easier to finish and thus saves a lot of time which equals money. Second, this Player has an Alder body instead of Mahogany. Again, a lot easier to work with. Third, this comes in limited colors and there are no extra options. No matching headstock, no wood changes and no Plus option. Other than finishes, which are limited as well, it is what it is - real innovation at a great price. Lastly, these have a 'plain' Maple top, though we'd be hard pressed to call this beautiful 'peek-a-boo' figured Maple top with the teardrop three-tone finish 'plain'. It's stunning, and plays like a dream.
So how does it sound? I've been playing a Crowdster for over 5 years now and I can tell you that this is just as strong as the original. In fact, beyond my expectations - it's incredibly resonant and balanced. And yes, it is exactly the same pickup system as the Crowdster. All in all this new Anderson Crowdster Player is a phenomenal instrument at an incredible price. - John F.
