HS Anderson Mad Cat V2

HS Anderson Mad Cat V2

Made in Japan

Serial Number 21043

In as good as new condition. A superb homage.

“For the first time in over 30 years, the original Mad Cat returns as the Reissue.
An original ‘70s Mad Cat was used as a reference model, and after extensive testing we finally settled to what we believe is a worthy successor, which even surpasses the original in some regards.
Subtle upgrades were performed: Tuners were upgraded to Gotoh SG360 with a higher gear ratio
The original Keiyo pickups have been replicated by Heartbreakers of Belgium who have voiced an old set of pickups so the new set sounds very close to the originals.
The output jack is more sturdy, so no more signal drop-outs
Headstock shape was improved.
All other specifications are equal to the ‘70s Mad Cats, we designed these guitars with the highest respect to the sound and feel of this legendary guitar.
Each one is hand built in the original Moridaira factory by Japanese craftsmen, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.”
