About KJ's Collectables
Hello, I am K.J. Anderson
I am a life-time collector of many things: coins, stamps, Matchbox and other diecast cars, wine, football cards… you name it, I collected it. But my main passion is musical instruments.
Music has been a part of my life since I was a young child. I learned to play on my Dad’s 1920’s Washburn acoustic (which I still have), and was motivated by watching my older brother rehearse with several “basement rock bands”. My first guitar was a 1967 Martin 00-21, which I used, with a Barcus Berry transducer, to play “I’m You’re Captain” (Grand Funk Railroad) and “From the Beginning” (Emerson, Lake & Palmer). From there I graduated to a ’57 Tele (my first electric). Over the years, I played in bands, including a mean rhythm guitar in a funk/soul band called “The Mellow Moods”, of all things (by then, I’d switched to Gibson semi-hollow bodies). Eventually, I switched to bass, and got more into Jazz. I still try to play today. Somewhere along the way, I became obsessed with guitars and vintage gear. I’ve learned a lot about instruments over the years, but there is always much left to learn!
At this point in my life, it is time to start selling my beloved collection. All of my instruments have been hand-selected. All of my instruments have been fully inspected and evaluated. I’ve learned over the years how important it is to deal with people who have integrity, people you can trust… especially in the “collectables” area, where scams abound.
Some of my guitars are quite rare and collectable. Others are “players’ guitars”. Each one is unique, and deserves a good home, I hope someone who will care for them as much as I have.
Given my almost 40 years of experience with instruments as a player and collector, I find that I can answer many questions about how to identify, authenticate, appraise instruments, and how to find the “right” instrument for a given person. I totally enjoy doing this, as well as talking to others who love musical instruments as much as I do.
My philosophy is to be fair, honest, upright and to deal with people the way I’d like them to deal with me.
