    With a New 2020 range of Gray Guitars made especially for Andertons, the Emperor takes inspiration from the classic S-style guitar. Staying close to the design of the original, it has an extra finesse that you'd expect from a hand-crafted, British-made instrument. With a versatile HSS pickup configuration comprised of hand-wired Radioshop pickups, the Emperor has many modern refinements to ensure that contemporary players are catered for.

    I’m the proud owner of the pink emperor on Tom’s website. It’s an absolutely stunning instrument. The nicest neck I’ve ever played on any guitar and it just feels so well made and comfortable to play. If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate.

    The price isn’t that much when considering the economy of scale enjoyed by the major brands. Also with their history and market share you’d think that the major players retail prices would be much less than the boutique builder. But they aren’t that far off. But Top shelf quality shouldn’t be cheap.

    Stunning guitars! Curious as to why there is always a plastic cover on single coil strat pickups and the humbuckers are always nickel/gold covers. Is it a tonal, grounding reason? The mismatch in aesthetics has always bothered my OCD and put me off a HSS strat. But I love the tone of a humbucker in the bridge. Wonder if anyone knows the reason as to why you can’t have a white plastic humbucker cover to match?

    • @TheWelhaven

      Catherine Faulkner Check out the Music Man Cutlass HSS (Charcoal Frost). They have a matching white humbucker cover :) Ps: the guitar is designed by Leo Fender himself. Great guitar; stainless steel frets, locking tuners, silent circuit and the best neck out there (new models got roasted maple too).
