I'm concidering trading my mint 8527 for either a 8470F or a Tom anderson Drop top classic....

What would you guys do in my place?

Any trade is a good trade if both parties are satisfied...

My axe:

Contestant #1:

J-custom 8427

Contestant #2:

Tom Anderson droptop classic with Roland GK-2

You have a mighty fine axe. If you like the color on the other JC better and the nice vine over those classy offset dots - go for the other JC.

If you have lots of Ibanez RG's then maybe diversify your guitar portfolio with the TA (which looks totally SWEET btw).

The pics help alot.

I'd possibly KEEP the JC you already have or go for the TA, only because I'm not big on the finish of the other JC (I do like the vine though).

What pickup is in the bridge of your 8527?

That would be a tough trade to call...

thanks for your input, guys

I'm still striving to make up me mind, but it's great to hear what you think

Are you wanting to move out of the 7 seven string all togther or just stir things up for just a change?

rvai · #9 01-11-2008, 11:17 PM

man your guitar is way more beautiful than the other two, maybe if it was the red 8470 lol

Yeah, I'd keep the 7 stringer there, no doubt. I've played some Andersons that were completely average, so they aren't all outstanding. And the other JC just doesn't do it for me. I'd keep the 8527

Are you insane :P Keep the 8527

Brosa · #12 01-12-2008, 05:34 AM

Keep the 8527. She's amazing!!

Bonsaischaap · #13 01-14-2008, 07:13 PM

I'm going to have to agree with most of the others here.

I've only played one Tom Anderson, which I know isn't enough to form a good opinion, but still I didn't like it that much.

You have a lovely J. Custom already, so why trade it?

Man, keep your guitar. TA's are over rated. The 8470 is a very nice guitar, I own a couple, but yours has a spectacular finish. I'd think twice about it if I were you.
