Drop Top Shorty in Gingerburst
Just arrived this is the last Tom Anderson custom guitar available for sale in 2023! Ginger... spicy, rich, warm and complex. That describes this Gingerburst Drop Top Shorty perfectly! Starting with a warm, rich alder body married to a highly figured Flame Maple top with a Caramel maple neck in Happy Medium neck shape we think this is the perfect platform for any kind of guitar infused music. The neck has a 1 11/16" nut width, medium jumbo stainless steel frets, a natural Satin neck back in a short (24 3/4") scale length. The body is finished in fiery Gingerburst with matching back over the alder body. In addition to the HC1, HC2+ humbuckers you have a 5 way switch which allows the player to easily switch from humbucking to single tone in either pickup or both. Add to that a master volume and master tone with the push/pull that activates the split position on the middle position and you get every sound you could ever want. This beauty comes with the Anderson G&G hard shell case, Anderson "A" logo strap, trem bar and all the wrenches. The serial number is 07-08-23P. It weighs 7.2 lbs. |

Cobra S in Black Wakesurf

Black and chrome. Think classic motorcycle, leather jacket, mirrored shades. Sleek high performance cars with rich leather seats. Tough, fast, edgy.
This Tom Anderson Cobra S is all that and more! With a smooth mahogany body and Satin neck in a 24 3/4" scale length it brings with it a warm, pronounced midrange tone. Now add a highly figured Quilt maple top that appears three dimensional in person and a Blackheart fingerboard for definition, clarity and punch with Matching black back and headstock and you have the basis for a truly superb instrument. The neck is 1 11/16" nut width with heavy stainless steel frets in an Even Taper back shape, Anderson's most popular neck shape. It's a neck built for gliding over the fingerboard with speed and finesse. The hardware is all chrome including locking tuners, vintage tremolo, knobs and nickel pickup covers.

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.
Jay with his stunning Drop Top in Deep tobacco fade "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. " Anthony P. Here's a photo of Anthony's two beautiful Tom Anderson Drop Top Classics. |
"I wanted to express my deep appreciation of your expertise in guitars and specifically in Tom Anderson options that suit me best for my playing style. Your knowledge is unmatched. Also, your patience to work through so many options and changes I made is commendable. I love my guitar and credit for such a lovely build goes to you.
BIG THANK YOU!" Ravi M. Ravi with his new Lil Angel in Cajun red with matching headstock and back |
