Sound Pure's Take
We love Anderson's Chocolate Maple Necks - you have to get one in your hands to really feel how comfortable they are, but you can see from the pictures how beautiful they are. This Anderson is stunning in every way but don't let that fool you! It's stage and studio ready for everything from fiery shredding to sweet or spanky grooves. No other company has gone so deep into electronics routing the way Anderson has, so prepare to have the most tonally versatile guitar on the market!
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.
