H.S. Anderson Mad Cat Vintage Reissue Guitar - H.S. Anderson Mad Cat Vintage Reissue Guitar

For the first time in over 30 years, the original Mad Cat returns!
Overview

Take a look at this classic H.S. Anderson Vintage Reissue Mad Cat Vintage Reissue Guitar. Built as close as possible to the original specifications. An original ‘70s Mad Cat was used as a reference model, and after extensive testing a worthy successor, which even surpasses the original in some regards, was chosen.

Subtle upgrades have been performed. Tuners were upgraded to Gotoh SG360 with a higher gear ratio. The original Keiyo pickups were upgraded to Bill Lawrence USA vintage. The output jack is even sturdier.

The Headstock shape and all other specifications are the same as the ‘70s Mad Cats. This reissue was designed with the highest respect to the sound and feel of this legendary guitar. Each one is handbuilt in the original Moridaira factory by Japanese craftsmen, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
