Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

Guitar playing doesn't get much better, folks!  The short scale, noiseless soapbar-style pickups, and hollow body alone form a perfect trio of truly magical midrange, insane playability, and, given how much it wants to bark and bite, a fantastic range of tonal possibilities.  There's a reason we point at Anderson when we point to the top!

SP Luthier Note: Setup

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.
