Anthem WTR30TBK - shredders watch out!

[Robert]

I have an Anthem WTR30TBK in my house now! :bravo:

This is a high gain shredder guitar with 24 Frets, floyd rose tremolo, zebra style humbuckers and jumbo frets. It even came with a cable, nice strap and strings as well.

The body is made out of basswood, and it has a 3 Piece Bolt-on Canadian Maple Neck. The scale length is 25.5 inches.

It is really nice to play. Very smooth and no flaws like fret sprout or uneven frets. I am very picky about guitar necks, and this one is really, really nice. It has a flat but solid 17" radius and it is very easy to play fast lines on it. I really like this neck. The pickups are Anthem's own, and they really do sound good, especially the bridge pickup.

I plugged it in to my Marshall, and milda makaroner, sustain for days! "The sustain, listen to it." ;)

I will of course make up video demos eventually. Shred-Rob is back, watch out! :D

Very cool, Robert! :rockon:

Not familiar w Anthem, but knowing how particular you are abt guitars, I have no doubt she's a winner!

(Edit: just checked Anthem's site. I remember that's the line spud was talking about. That's a cool shredder-lookin guitar, man! Look out, it might cut ya! :) )

Can't wait to see some vids of Shred-Rob and the new ax!

Btw, when's the ETA for your new Mack Gem?

Shred-Rob is the name of your true self; you had only forgotten.

Allow me to be the first to throw out a Ronnie James Dio hand-gesture :dude:

[Katastrophe]

Everyone should have at least one "shredder guitar."

It looks beautiful, Robert. Congrats!

And now...

BTW... What does "milda makaroner" mean? Mild macaroni?:confused:

Cool! Spud has been talking about these guitars. I look forward to seeing one in person, and before I have a chance to do that, maybe a good Shred-Rob vid! :rockon:

I think it's the Swedish translation of "The Macarena"

You did see one on Tuesday when we saw Cary Judd at the Street Fair in Ketchum. He had the blue PST20 (http://www.anthemguitars.com/product-details.html?index=15).

Cary's site http://www.caryjudd.com/ He's an Anthem endorser from Jackson Wyoming that I've known for a while. Very talented and nice guy

Basswood = Goodwood
I really love basswood. The guitar looks great. Looking forward to some Robo-Shred video. Can't wait to hear that neck pu.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. It has been a crazy week or two. Cory sounded great!

Robert,
Thanks for a great review on these guitars. I have been looking at these guitars for about 6 months now and seeing that they are priced right for me, I think I have found my next guitar. I was hoping to have a MD dealer pick up some, but today there are still no takers. However, seeing your review and the YouTube video on them, makes me want to get one nonetheless. I am hoping that by year's end, I will have one in my hands.

Thanks again for the reivew.:AOK:

Cool, glad you liked it, mjk. I will do more demos of this cool guitar soon!
