This particular Classic is special. It's the perfect weight at only 7.25 lbs and it has a very balanced natural tone. Because of this, we used it as a shop guitar to demo different Anderson pickup combinations. While the original VA7 pickups sounded really good in this guitar, we always came back to this SA/SA/H2+ combination and our customers preferred it too. The current HSS pickguard was built using the exact same parts that Anderson uses from the factory (we actually buy the pots and switches from Anderson). The mini toggle is a master switch for the SA pickups, changing them from humbucking mode to single coil mode. The humbucker auto-splits in position 4 and the tone pot is a push/pull that switches position 3 from the middle pickup to the neck + split bridge like a Tele.
The Small V neck is our favorite Anderson neck profile. It feels really ergonomic in the hands yet it smooths out to more of a C shape as you get into the higher frets, making playing so effortless. This guitar has served us well but we've taken in a new batch of Anderson guitars recently so we're just rotating inventory. The original pickguard and VA7 pickups are not included with this guitar. However, if you prefer, we can install the original pickguard and pickups to return it to 100% stock. Contact us to discuss this option.
Overall condition is near mint. You will find some very tiny marks and/or impressions in the body, but the neck is clean and the frets are not worn.
