Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

Bobcat, Atom, Bulldog, these single cut beauties from Anderson have been known by many names, but no matter what you call 'em, they absolutely rock. The deep cutaway, sunken bridge, and unique headstock design make this Bulldog play like an absolute dream. Powerful, elegant, and tough to come by these days; take this old dog home with you before someone else scoops it up!

SP Luthier Notes: Setup confirmed

From Tom Anderson Guitarworks

Focused and muscular, musical midrange and carved maple top beauty predominate but

Bulldog

is a purebred Anderson through and through. So, no need to fret (be concerned), as every outrageous Anderson attribute is soundly intact and at your command, like:

Smooth as butter playability—just effortless to play and bend


Unbelievably resonant—rings, seemingly, forever—even unplugged. One chord and you will know


Unique 3-on-a-side headstock with nearly straight string pull renders unparalleled tuning ease and stability while offering a much stronger neck to headstock union


Encircling the entire back circumference of the body is a smooth, soft-cut radius for next-to-body (your body) comfort


Hand-selected, kiln dried mahogany means an overall weight of under 8—pounds, that is—really light for this style instrument.  Just so nice to strap on and play all night


Deeper cut-away horn that is shortened, rounded and splays further outward grants easier access to the highest regions of the fretboard and balances Bulldog’s center of gravity nicely when sitting to play


Countersunk bridge, tailpiece and pickup rings look so, so, so cool and make picking-hand angle extremely comfortable


8 hum-free sounds from a simple-as-can-be 3-Way and two push/pull tone pots


Lightweight Tune-o-matic style bridge is standard and wonderful to play...but so is the optional Vintage Tremolo-style bridge - you choose.


Tradition comes to an immediate and happy end once you give this artful Anderson instrument more than a mere momentary glance.   In all seriousness, once you hear how resonant and feel how easily Bulldog plays you are going to utterly lose your mind—in a good way, of course—so good!
