Gold Standard Archtop In 2001 I started working on a design that would attempt to re-think some of the basic design ideas associated with the archtop guitar. As my ideas took shape, I made a series of drawings and prototype parts to work out the details. When I felt confident in the direction I was heading, I began work on the first Gold Standard. This guitar is the result of those efforts, the first Andersen Gold Standard. The basis of my idea involves a line of 14k gold wire that runs intermittenly from peghead to fretboard to pickguard and the tailpiece, passing in and out of the "frame" of those parts. This guitar is made of highest quality German maple and German spruce. Finished in a warm violin colored lacquer. The guitar is in very good condition, with a few finish blemishes that I've touched up, so it looks nearly new. This photo doesn't show it, but the guitar currently has an Armstrong humbucker pickup installed. Features:
