Anderson Guitarworks Drop Top Classic Guitar, Rosewood Fretboard, Deep Tobacco Fade

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 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.

Alder Body

Dating back to the late 1950's, this is the wood found in more 3 single coil, double cut-away, 25 1/2" scale length guitars than any other. Due to its wide spread popularity it produces a very familiar tone, a "vintage tone." Its sound is primarily a thicker, midrange tone. It is very full in the low midrange yet produces enough upper midrange to be clear and articulate.

Pickups:

• SC1: Slightly more than vintage level, single-coil sound, humcanceling (great for neck and middle application).
• HF3: Extra saturation with creamy and more forceful output while still staying true to the vintage roots that the HF2 lays out.
• Position 1: Neck Pickup
• Position 2: Neck + Middle Pickups
• Position 3: Middle Pickup
• Position 3 (alternate): Neck + Bridge Pickups
• Position 4: Middle + Bridge Pickups
• Position 5: Bridge Pickup
