1. During the first week of August 2020, we'll be upgrading the software TGP runs on to the currently available up-to-date version. The software version is a significant upgrade, so there will be some downtime as we do the work under the hood. We've got a team of professionals, including the software development company assisting the process. We've conducted substantial tests using backups of the current forum to ensure a smooth and successful upgrade. We've gone to great lengths on the design of the theme (aka 'skin' or look and feel) of the forum to offer a better user experience for members and visitors. The default theme will be new, yet clearly influenced by the classic TGP look. We will have a dark version of that also easily selectable. Also available will be a "Classic TGP" theme that closely matches the current theme you are accustomed to using with the current software. There is also an easy width adjustment to make it set width or expand to your window width for each theme. As we get closer, I'll update everyone so hopefully, no one will be caught by surprise.

    I bought a new Anderson Hollow T Classic a couple of weeks ago...and today it has been listed on Anderson's site as the Weekly Favorite for this week:

    This is the best guitar I have owned. The TM2 in the bridge sounds absolutely incredible.

    Congrats on the guitar. I'm sure it sounds like a monster!

    That is really nice, I love that color. Nice pup choice, I net that is different.

    I had a hollow-t classic, is wasn't for me but it was a great guitar, a bit neck heavy though. I guess that is par for the course with a Tele.

    emilio,

    Thanks for the completment! The M1 sounds like a highly-refined mini-humbucker with a definite ode to vintage Fender. It sounds great with the hollow body. It seems to be very sensitive to the tone control. I can coax very jazzy tones from the pickup as well as typical Fender tones (but quiet!).

    Cool...!

    Love the color!

    I had a couple of TA's Hollow T Classics... light as a feather, and great-playing instruments!

    Enjoy!

    Anderson makes magical Instruments. I have yet to play anything from him that dosen't play or sound wonderful. I can't say that about any other company. Even my tele made from TA parts era wood just sounds amazing.


    Congrats on the tele! One thing I have never tried yet are the M size pick ups. Are they really single coilish like he describes them?

    split, yes, they do....i had an M1, M1, H2 equipped Cobra with a mini toggle for splitting and wow, articulate punch and clarity when split and fullbore drive when not...

    in my opinion, they're my favourite anderson pickups yet.

    I wish my HDT had 'em.

    *sigh*

    Sean,
    What a cool guitar; I really like that color blue. I had a Hollow Cobra with 3 minis that was a great guitar but I sold it because the neck was too thin for me. I want to get another one with the larger roundback neck shape. Best of luck with your new axe.

    really? my HDT has a .70 oversized neck that feels exactly like the cobra neck...weird.

    yes! I saw it on the sight and had to check it out. I was blown away. I had previously swore off high-end guitars until I played this one. I sold my 2 Kleins and a Teuffel about 6 months ago. I picked up a "big 2" guitar to see if that could fill the void but it just couldn't fit the bill.

    Dave,
    My Cobra had the standard neck carve which is about half the thickness of my PRS, McNaught, and Les Paul Elegant. Most people would probably like it (it's Anderson's most popular neck carve) but I've always liked the feel of a meaty neck.

    I have a 62 roundback cobra neck on my hollow cobra and it is really nice. Quite a bit bigger then a standard Cobra neck, very round and nice.
