All in all, I found (when I went to see one in a shop) the new version of this looked too blingy for my taste which made me hesitate in buying one however, but the bullet and bought this used version and it looks so so amazing. The body was "Vintage Black) which is a matt, flat or dull black however, on the back of the neck the dullness had worn down and it had a very dull shine to it which looks absolutely beautiful and aged.

The gold hardware was no longer a blingy yellow gold, it had aged or something and was still gold but far less yellow and believe me, it looks amazing in comparison to a new version. As for the fact it was preowned - the whole guitar was immaculate but there were 2 things you could identify that made it known it wasn't new and both of them made me EXTREMELY happy I bought a 10 y/o preoweed. Tom Anderson Guitarworks is an American manufacturer of electric guitars and guitar pickups, based in Newbury Park, California. Fantastic price - the guitar itself doesn't need to be reviewed, I've recently seen players such as Andy James using this guitar all the way to Teloch from Mayhem (not this style of guitar - this exact model) so the guitar, speaks for itself.
