Why it matters

Tom Anderson builds to order in small numbers, with a long options list covering woods, pickups and hardware, so no list price exists for the Angel or the Raven. Dealers stock finished instruments at their own prices, and those are the reference point when comparing. Both are modern takes on familiar outlines rather than vintage recreations.

Note

Modern single-cut (Angel) and angular (Raven) additions.

Specifications

  • Scale length: unknown
  • Neck shape: unknown

Before you buy

  • Built to order with no published list price
  • dealer stock is the practical reference for pricing
  • the options list means two examples of one model can differ a lot
