Wanted - affordable/entry level Weissenborn style

[Brettus Maximus]

On the lookout for an acoustic lap to add to the electirc I'm learning on.
If anybody has one for sale at second-hand prices, please let me know!

Absolutely ideal would be if it has a pickup fitted too, but it's definitely not a deal-breaker if it doesn't

Thanks.

If there aren't any going second hand out there, I'll be looking at buying something new in a month or two when I've had time to save up a little more.

Anybody got any news/views about Anderwood at all? http://www.anderwoodguitars.com/index.php

Are they a good maker?
Opinions about the different models on offer?
Y'know, that sort of thing.

Thank you all

Hi mate,

I'm not selling any weiss's i'm afraid, but I've heard the Anderwoods being played by Sam Green and Willie Edwards from Willie & the Bandits. Nice sounding guitars especially for the price! I can't remember what Willie played but I believe Sam used an AW series with the LR Baggs M1 pickup on it. It sounded mint.

I've been thinking about getting one of their guitars as a cheap slide for taking out about, going camping etc. I wanted to keep my £1000+ Gosden Guitars kona-style slide in good condition!

I bought a hardcase off of Anderwood for the above guitar. I called them and spoke to (I believe) there main guy re: measurements etc. He went and measured one of their cases right away and emailed me immediately on a weekend.

Hope this helps, I'd be really interested to hear if you purchase one mate, what you go for and what you think. Please PM me.

Chris

Awesome: thanks for the reply, Chris. It really does help.

Looks like I will be going for the Anderwood later in the year. Considering the Teardrop at the mo, but if I can stretch to an AW series with pickup, that'd be my top choice.

Sounds like you had a good experience with them, which is exactly what I'd expect looking at their website blurb etc.

I'll be sure to inform you if/as/when I've taken the plunge!
Brett.
