Sound Pure's Take
The Anderson Custom Cobra S is a beautifully refined hollowbody that balances elegance, precision, and expressive power in a way that feels instantly inspiring. Its flame maple top over okoume creates a resonant, lively voice, while the short 24 3/4" scale and Happy Medium neck profile offer effortless comfort and flow. Stainless steel frets and the Buzz Feiten system ensure exceptional accuracy and consistency across the fingerboard. With versatile PQ pickups and a striking Light Tiger Eye Burst finish, this Cobra S feels thoughtfully crafted—an articulate, reliable investment built to reward dedicated players for years to come.
From Tom Anderson Guitarworks
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.Cobra S is:Short Scale - 24 3/4-inch strings length.
Focused mids, easier reaching and bending.Mahogany Construction: a powerful mahogany foundation of body and neck backs up all Cobra S has to say with midrange muscle.Sleek and svelte, non pickguard "S" delineation.
Twin humbuckers - other Anderson pickup options available as well.Simple and versatile switching to access all viable sounds available.Bridge - fully functional vintage-type tremolo or fixed bridge, both with string-through-the-body design for increased saddle tension, offering low-end vibrancy and a bit of a bite, tonally speaking.
