In this video we test out the amazing Mesanovic Model 2 ribbon microphone on electric guitar. We've had the Model 2 for a few weeks here in our studio, and we wanted to compare it to a classic mic that most of you have heard on tons of records: the Royer Labs R-121. Helping us on electric guitar is the one and only Eddie Berman!

From Tom Anderson Guitarworks

Bobcat 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 comfort

Hand selected, kiln dried mahogany means an overall weight of under 8 pounds, which 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 Bobcat’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.

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 Bobcat plays you are going to utterly lose your mind!
