1994 Tom Anderson Drop Top
An early Tom Anderson Drop Top Classic in Bora
Bora Blue over a highly flamed maple top, Maple Neck with Pau
Ferro Fretboard, 1 11/16 inch nut width, Pearloid pickguard,
and a 11-19-94A serial number date. The guitar originally came
with a single/single/hum configuration. The original owner years
ago ordered a guard assembly from Tom Anderson with three VA1
pickups and a 5 way switch. What you have now is a traditional
Strat setup that sounds incredible. Not the easiest color shading
to photograph accurately but the finish is a very attractive
blue/green aqua coloring. This is a superb playing guitar. It
embodies the high quality standards that the Tom Anderson brand
has become known for. The guitar has some small nicks and dings
on the top and back of the body that have been highlighted in
the pictures below. Guitar comes with a molded plastic hardshell
case as pictured. HSC $2295

1960 Silvertone 1429 Sunburst

What we have here is an under the bed time capsule Silvertone

hard to believe it is over 50 years old as it is in almost New
Old Stock condition. It even appears to have its original flat

everything that was sold with the guitar in 1960. Two tone soft

once been on the back of the body. Guitar comes with its original

1974 Rickenbacker 481 Slanted Fret
Early Model with Preproduction Pickups
Here
is a very early production Slanted Fret Rickenbacker guitar.
The 481SF was introduced to the Rickenbacker price list in 1973
but was not in continuous production until a few years later.
The model featured a pair of Rickenbacker produced humbucking
pickups. The first run of these pickups featured a black plastic
cover and 6 exposed pole pieces. Later, the 481 would feature
Rickenbacker's standard humbucker design with chrome covers
and 12 exposed pole pieces. This guitar features the earliest
example of Rickenbacker's humbucking pickups. In fact this is
the first example I have ever seen with this pickup design other
than the 1975 Rickenbacker
Catalogue which features a similar Burgundy 481 with the
identical pickups. This guitar is in clean original condition
with one changed bridge height adjustment screw and one missing
neck pickup pole piece. Mapleglo finish, phase switch, bridge
cover, and slanted fret neck. Guitar comes with the original
hardshell case. A very collectible early model. OHSC
