More like an airy, very civilized Les Paul that you can pull the coil splits and get a smooth Tele sound. It's pretty light, balances perfectly, and between the push-pulls and regular three-way switch you get a lot of sounds, though I really don't think it sounds very P-90 at all.

Body is transparent amber burst and flawless. Fantastic medium neck with a satin finish, and I love the frets, which are not too high and super-smooth. The details and workmanship though are top-level. It's a very understated guitar that no one would glance at unless they recognized the logo. I guess they actually do cut the second coil of the pickup. One volume, two tones, and both the tone knobs push-pull to do something. Locking tuners that look like old Klusons, Buzz Feiten nut, simple unbound rosewood board with low stainless frets and dots. Two pickups that look like big single-coils but I guess are stacked humbuckers billed as sounding like P90s. Looks incredibly plain, like a bolt-on Les Paul Special. I didn't really know what the plain-looking guitar with an A on the headstock was. Anyway, I was vaguely aware of Anderson guitars as somewhere in the Suhr-Collings-Tyler stratosphere of fancy stuff, with quilty tops and a lot of Tele and super-Strat stuff. That ain't cheap, but I won't lose a ton of money if I sell it, and my "collection" is pretty slim now: the HELL Standard, the headless Blackwater, and the MIJ Totoro Tele copy. A local boo-teek guitar place went under and I ended up getting a brand-new Anderson for under two bills.
