Electric Guitar Question
Hey guys and gals,
I know this is an acoustic forum, but have an electric question. My buddy is looking at a new electric for primarily worship music, and has it narrowed down to really 2 options. 1) Grosh Nos Retro with Fat 60's 2) Tom Anderson Icon T with Tv 1/ Tv 3. Anyone have any experience with these, preferences? We have played both and they are both phenomenal! |

I've had a few Grosh guitars and can't say enough good about them. They are excellent guitars. I thinned out my electric guitar collection a few years ago and got rid of all my Fenders, and other Strat styles, and kept a Grosh Retro Classic. Fantastic guitar!!

Hard to beat a Grosh RC!

Your friend has good taste in electric guitars! I own both Grosh and Tom Anderson guitars, can't go wrong with either one...
I have an early Retro Classic with Fralins as well as a TA Cobra and an assortment of TA super strats. |

When I was looking at getting a "boutque" strat about 15 years ago, my immediate thoughts were to get a Tom Anderson as they have a high profile in the UK. I tried a few and whilst they all had great build quality, found them have a bit characterless tone and after trying a few more high end strats, ended up with a Grosh Retro Classic. 15 years later, still very happy with my choice, but I do prefer my Levinson Blades

Thanks for your feedback.
I think I agree with your feedback so far. We both agreed none of the suhr, or tom andersons could touch the Grosh Strat. However, the Tom Anderson Tele was killer. I think it will very much look like he will be getting a custom Tele from them. He's looking forest green, with gold hardware, black pickguard. Something like this: It's using Anderson's "Bullitt Green" |

Both makers are worth the money. I have been to Tom's shop 1 hour away. I have enjoyed his guitars for a decade. His compound radius, I think, will stand the test of time. It is that good. 12"-14". I really like his Drop Top, and the Icon looks incredible too. His guitars are more of the semi hollow type but they have long sustain. Super light is a bonus. They have that "play themselves" thing going on.
Don Grosh, has immaculate fret work. (Michael Tuttle SS frets are in this highest league as well). You have a hard choice. I do like the wider 1 11/16" nut width models which are more rare on Don's great guitars I see for sale. |

Once you get to this level of guitar, it’s really a matter of what appeals to you the most. Anderson, Grosh, Suhr, Tyler et al are all amazing. |

I have both a Grosh T and Anderson T, both spectacular. I also have a Suhr Strat type and Suhr T, both which are very fine guitars. Wouldn't go wrong with any of the ones mentioned. -- Darwin.
