Tom Anderson Hollow Cobra S in Burnished Orange Burst

Tom Anderson Hollow Cobra S in Burnished Orange Burst

Cobra and Coba S have been an Anderson favorite for a long time now. In 1996, Cobra S took its rightful place alongside the renown Cobra, to add the same Cobra crush to the "S" body style. Taking over the (musical) world with an "S" just got a lot easier. Case Included.

Tom Anderson Hollow Drop Top S in Deep Ocean Blue Burst

Tom Anderson Hollow Drop Top S in Deep Ocean Blue Burst

Before the introduction of the magnificent Drop Top in 1990, the number of "S" style guitars that had a maple top that was “dropped” to create a comfortable forearm contour were exactly zero. As a result of this design, we've chosen a body top thickness of 3/16 of an inch, which actually enhances and enrichens the sonic character of the instrument. The result is a guitar that not only plays effortlessly, is extremely comfortable, and sounds amazing but is so darn good looking that if you don't dress well it just may upstage you. Case Included.

Tom Anderson Angel in Natural

Tom Anderson Angel in Natural

For those of you who know Anderson Guitarworks, think of Angel as a Drop Top with a full two-octave range. But that is just the beginning. Completely designed and aligned from the ground up to be a 24 fret "angel" of a guitar with unparalleled abilities. We gorgeously reshaped and balanced the body to allow extended access to the upper frets, via the deeper cut-aways and longer horns.
As with all Anderson Guitars, Angel is endowed with the best playing guitar necks-Anderson's legendary, super-fast and ultra-easy playability in a medley of back shapes. Easy to fly.
The absence of pickup rings contributes to Angel's more modern, clean lines but (as with most everything here at Anderson) also serves a higher purpose of elevated performance. No pickup ring styling enables the neck pickup to nestle nearer the 24th harmonic for the richest "24" neck tone obtainable. Case Included.

Tom Anderson Short T Classic in Transparent Yellow

Tom Anderson Short T Classic in Transparent Yellow

Short T is a shorter, 24 3/4-inch scale length, T-style guitar with customary pickguard-like our Hollow T Classic or T Classic but with the shorter scale length. Only the services of traditional "long-scale" woods are enlisted to insure that all desired T-ness remains soundly in tact. The "Shorty" includes a more mid-focused tone while still remaining traditional in its overall “T-guitar” demeanor; easier ability to monopolize overdrive; very smooth, slinkier, more effortless feel; more legato presentation of notes; an easier reach between frets; and many more features! It is overall a very wonderful guitar to just hold and play. Case Included.

Tom Anderson Cobra Koa Top in Light Shaded Edge Finish

Tom Anderson Cobra Koa Top in Light Shaded Edge Finish

Cobra is one of the only guitars on Earth (maybe the only one) that is a perfect blend between the formidable sonic muscle of a short scale guitar and the musicality of a long-scale guitar. And the only way to get this wonderful bend is aboard a Cobra (or Cobra S). A shorter, 24 3/4-inch scale length means less string tension, fatter mids, and greater easy of bending and reaching. Cobra derives much of its muscle and focused, aggressive midrange by virtue of a mahogany foundation. The Cobra body is attentively hand-selected pure mahogany, crowned by an exotic wood top-usually beautiful, figured maple. For many, many players, Cobra is the perfect, "I can do it all and more" guitar. Case Included.

Tom Anderson Drop T Classic in Tiger Eye Burst

Tom Anderson Drop T Classic in Tiger Eye Burst

Very soon after the revelation of the revolutionary Drop Top in 1990, we knew we needed to apply the same Drop Top technology to the "T" platform. The result was Drop T - a "T" of a profound nature - completely new and different than anything "T" that had come before.
Simply stated, Drop T is a single cut away, "T" profile body with a gorgeous maple or exotic wood top that is swooped (or dropped) over the forearm contour to create very comfortable playing conditions and a beautiful look in one masterful move. Angled control layout, without the use of a traditional "T" control plate (like an S-style). Case Included.

Tom Anderson Classic S in Satin Olympic White

Tom Anderson Classic S in Satin Olympic White

Could this superlative instrument be the most profound, best playing and best sounding vintage double-cut-away electric guitar on Earth?
Quite a delicate question to ask. Seeking for truth, one cannot just blurt out some arbitrary answer without basing it on a solid and substantial foundation of greater wisdom. The Classic is vintage body and neck woods with pickguard styling and any configuration of Anderson pickups you prefer for your sonic pleasure. Case Included.

Tom Anderson Classic in Desert Sunset

Tom Anderson Classic in Desert Sunset

The Classic is the vintage guitar of your wildest dreams—and beyond—the one you always knew should exist but you were unable to touch in physical form...until now. This particular Classic is made with Alder wood. Alder is the first and most popular choice among players, as an alder body bestows it gifts of full and boosted low-mid frequencies accompanied by predominate upper mid prominence. It is these qualities that bring big single coil tones effortlessly forward in the mix, when paired with the right amp for you. Humbuckers enjoy a lower end bump and slightly less all-middle-only tone. Bliss is restored to the musical world in the form of: The Classic. Case Included.
