Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 7.4 Lbs
What a stunner! You open the case and it looks like you could dive right in, Olympic-style. Anderson has always been an incredible builder, but the guitars we've been getting from them as of late have been truly out of this world. This is certainly no exception.
The Drop Top is definitely meant for the player that has always loved the S shape and form factor, but wants a little more. The beautiful top adds to the aesthetic, and Anderson's modern build style really set this apart - this isn't your grandpa's guitar. Unparalleled playability and versatility truly make this a valuable addition to anyone's arsenal.
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 was 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 enriches 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.
