Tom Anderson Drop Top Shorty in Cajun Red to Black Edge Burst

If you've been searching for the most versatile sounding and best playing guitar on the planet this may be it! Think of this, you can have neck humbucker, bridge humbucker or both for those full fat humbucking tones.  Or neck pickup with split single coil tone, bridge pickup with split single coil tone, or both split. Or middle pickup only and even neck and middle with that out of phase strat sound or bridge and middle with that out of phase strat sound. One guitar that does it all and plays like a dream!

This striking Tom Anderson Drop Top Shorty features a highly figured Flame Maple top on an Alder body finished in Cajun Red to Black Edge burst with matching black back and headstock. The custom RED "A" logo really stands out. The neck is maple with dark rosewood fingerboard in Even Taper +30 satin neck shape, Medium Jumbo stainless steel frets, 1 11/16" nut width and locking tuners. The pickups are HC1, SC1 and HC2+ a perfect combination to give you any tone you can imagine. The 5 way switch with splitter lets you use virtually any combination of humbucker and single coil tones. Master volume, master tone with push/pull for middle position and mini switch round out the electronics. Strung with 9-46 Elixir strings and weighs in a 7.2 lbs.

Drop Top Shorty in
​Super Natural Deep Ocean Blue

This one is really hard to photograph as it changes as you turn it in the light and catches all the reflections so look at all the photos to get a good representation. It is a Drop Top Shorty with a highly figured Quilt maple top on an Alder body finished in Super Natural Deep Ocean Blue.  In person the depth changes giving it a three dimensional effect. The scale length is 24 3/4" making for every easy play and a bit more resonance. The neck is maple with Rosewood fingerboard and has a matching headstock,
1 11/16" nut width, Even Taper neck shape and Medium Jumbo stainless steel frets! It features an HC1 neck pickup and an HC2  bridge pickup.

​Cobra S in Fire Wipeout

I have to admit it, the Cobra S is my favorite Tom Anderson model and I love Fire Wipeout! This Cobra S is comfortable, well balanced with a great feel and weight. The 24.75" scale length combined with the mahogany body and neck gives this guitar a warm resonant tone that's perfect for any style of music.  Finished in beautiful Fire Wipeout over a chevron pattern flame maple top you won't be able to stop looking at this gorgeous guitar. The neck features a rosewood fingerboard with a 1 11/16" nut width, Medium Jumbo frets and a Happy Medium neck back shape. The HC1 and HC3 pickups with nickel covers sing with a full fat sound with ringing highs and a searing overdrive tone with plenty of sustain when driven. There a 5 way toggle and master volume and tone knobs with allow the player to access full humbucker or 'split coil' sounds. The chrome Vintage tremolo and locking tuners complete the features.  It includes the Tom Anderson hard shell case, Anderson black strap, paperwork and comes strung with .010-.046 Elixir strings. Serial # 12-23-20P. Weighs only 7.0lbs!

Classic in Satin Mellow Yellow

The neck shape is an Even Taper +30 neck with 1 11/16" nut and Medium Jumbo stainless steel frets. Like all Tom Anderson guitars this one plays effortlessly.

Here is what our people are saying about Deepwater Guitars and Tom Anderson Guitars:

"Oh yeah.... it’s the best. I just love playing this guitar. Totally spoiled now. ​I want to thank my dealer, Kevin Fallon, who was so gracious and helpful in narrowing my components. There is no one I would prefer when buying a guitar."   Jay D.

"I got it today! You were right, it is stunning! I love the reddish grain in the caramel maple neck, love everything about it. It plays perfectly. I'm glad they had already started carving the neck when I thought about changing the neck shape because it's great as it is. Thanks for your friendly and knowledgeable help! It's awesome, thank you so much."

 This is Talmadge's third Tom Anderson
​Its a Drop Top Classic in Arctic white with matching back and headstock and caramel maple neck.
"My first Tom Anderson Classic replaced all my other guitars and became my go to guitar when I play in the orchestra pit. I wanted an exact copy but in Maui Kazowie with a maple neck and three SA pickups."

"I followed your suggestion and called Anderson  with my question and I did get to speak directly to Tom, which was a real treat. "

  • "I only put it down to sleep  that's partially why it took so long to break out the camera and lighting and take these pics for you. Does your business have any social media presence on Instagram? I was going to post this myself and reference Deepwater guitars but can't find you on there. "
