Up for sale, a custom-built Superstrat in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Featuring a Warmoth-made official Fender-licensed Stratocaster body, maple neck with a 22 fret fingerboard and medium jumbo fretwire, Tom Anderson pickups, and a vintage USA-made Kahler tremolo, all of the essential Superstrat ingredients are in place.
The Tom Anderson pickup complement includes a SL2R in the neck position, SL2 in the middle, and H2+ four conductor humbucker at the bridge. The precursors to Tom Anderson's SA pickups, these pickups owe a debt to the Schecter Monstertones, as Tom first worked for Schecter and his first contract job after starting the Tom Anderson brand was wiring pickups for Schecter. As such, the neck and middle position single coils have large diameter magnets and a hum-cancelling design, offering fat and full tones with plenty of authority and cut. The H2+ bridge position humbucker pairs well in terms of perceived output, delivering power and crunch, also tamable to single coil operation via the two-way mini-toggle. The guitar weighs 7lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
