Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

Weight: 7.15 lbs

This is Anderson is nothing short of mesmerizing. From the wood grain to the color you might find yourself staring more than playing! However, like every Anderson, this is an absolute monster to play. Legato and shred lines? Easy. Blues and rock cut? Done. Soft and warm jazz lines? Check. This guitar has it all and it's looking for a good home! 

From Tom Anderson Guitarworks

Before the introduction of the magnificent Drop Top in 1990, the number of "S" style guitars that had a maple top that was “dropped” to create a comfortable forearm contour were exactly zero.

As a result of this design, we've chosen a body top thickness of 3/16 of an inch, which actually enhances and enrichens the sonic character of the instrument. The result is a guitar that not only plays effortlessly, is extremely comfortable, and sounds amazing but is so darn good looking that if you don't dress well it just may upstage you.

Today, along with your choice of flame or quilted maple, walnut or koa top, Drop Top now offers four choices of body backing tone wood to bring the sonic character you desire from your "S" to bear on the bandstand:
