Anderson guitars are always a dream to play and this Drop Top is no exception! The moment my hand touched the chocolate maple neck, I was instantly reminded of just how substantial Anderson's build quality is. The body is super comfortable and though it's on the light side, it's got muscle in all the right places. For instance, the SF2 and H2+ pickups sound amazing on their own, but kick in the Add Bridge w/ Splitter functions and your tonal palette kicks into overdrive. I literally feel like there's nothing this guitar can't do. And as far as purely aesthetic considerations go, it doesn't get much better than the transparent teal burst top on this baby. Grab hold of this Drop Top delight and see what I'm talking about!

Drop Top - Introduced to guitar design by Anderson over 20 years ago, Drop Top is characterized by its beautiful exotic wood top that is "dropped" or bent to create a swooping and comfortable forearm contour. Oh yes, this is the guitar that started it all! 

Before Drop Top, the number of S-style guitars that had a maple top and were “dropped” or swooped over to create a comfortable forearm contour were exactly...0.

But with the introduction of the magnificent Drop Top in 1990, all that changed.  The “S” instrument could now have it's full body contours, be a thing of astounding beauty and have prodigiously rich and spectacular sound—eminating from ample amounts of tone wood backing an exotic wood top—all together in one instrument for the very first time.

However, there is quite a "magic formula" for getting all of this just exactly right and Anderson has it down.  Results may vary outside the Anderson "universe." 

Over the years, we have come to unlock even greater secrets of tone for the Drop Top and it is truly more spectacular than it has ever been.  Now we offer Drop Top with 4 different choices of tone-wood back—all of which are so impressive that all of your non-Anderson playing friends will not only stare at you in constant envy but will want to play your guitar every chance they get-—which is every time you are magnanimous enough to let them.
