Sound Pure's Take

Weight: 7.5 lbs.


With a tone this sweet, they don't call it "key lime" for nothing! Another incredible example of a fine instrument by the folks at Anderson, serial #09-29-16P has blown us all away. Tonally, this one is balanced and articulate, and from a playability standpoint, this one leaves nothing to be desired!

Don't let this one slip you by, give it a try!

From Tom Anderson Guitarworks

Drop Top Classic offers its eye-popping gifts accompanied with the class of a classic pickguard, hence the name Drop Top Classic. 

But its name not only denotes a look rooted in tradition but in its intrinsic sound as well. Yes, this classy guarded guitar not only delivers classic good looks but the anatomy of the actual pickguard itself creates a more "Classic" tone, a tone to certainly please a connoisseur of the classics.

Drop Top Classic announces itself with a radiant book-matched flame or quilted maple, koa or walnut top that is actually bent (or "dropped") over a carefully chosen tone wood body create a smooth and comfortable, swooping forearm contour, and it does it all in keeping with the traditional of pickguard styling.

Since 1991 Drop Top Classic has been the fancy, classic "S" to own.  Before this time, nothing like it existed. You could say, it was an inspired revelation that started a joyous revolution, of guitars that is.

But we certainly could not stop there. 

Though the years, as we began to unlock the secrets of Drop Top tonalities and the vast richness lying within, we applied this depth of understanding to the realm of the Drop Top Classic.
