Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent. This instrument was made in 2003.
SP Luthier Notes: A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. (A) Minor dent(s) present on the neck of the guitar required our luthier to fill, color match, and refinish the area massively improving the cosmetics of the guitar. A number of frets had become raised above the fingerboard and partially out of their fret slots which necessitated gluing and reseating said frets into the fingerboard. No further work was required.
It's light, it's fast and it's loud (thanks especially to the Anderson H3 bridge pickup, which WILL rip your face off). This is a guitar that would fall into the rock and roll category to be sure - but thanks to the mad scientests at Anderson this guitar can do a whole lot more. We took this guitar on a bluesy trip and man does it sound great clean as it does through a dimed amplifier. And thanks to our luthier's handiwork, there is no way this guitar could possibly play better. Don't miss this guitar!
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.
