{"product_id":"tom-anderson-drop-top-figured-mango-special-selection-top","title":"Tom Anderson Drop Top | Figured Mango (Special Selection Top)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tom Anderson Drop Top takes the familiar S-style platform and pushes it firmly into Super Strat territory, combining the ergonomics and versatility players expect from the classic design with Anderson’s modern construction, precision and attention to detail. This Anderson Custom keeps that foundation recognizable while giving it a much more distinctive personality through its woods, finish and HSS electronics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe obvious standout is the Figured Mango top, finished with a Black Shaded Edge and natural binding over an Alder body. This is also a Special Selection top that we hand selected specifically for this build, making it even more unique. We went through the available options to find a piece with exceptional movement and character, and this one stood out immediately. That level of intention really shows in the finished guitar. The deep black perimeter frames the natural colouring and figuring beautifully, while the gloss Black Back carries the finish around the instrument for a clean contrast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is another highlight, pairing Caramel Maple with a Ziricote fingerboard and Anderson’s Even-Taper profile. A 12\"–14\" compound radius, Jumbo stainless steel frets and 25.5\" scale give it the modern playing geometry you want from a Super Strat, while the satin natural neck back keeps the playing surface smooth and understated. Locking tuners, a Vintage Tremolo and the Buzz Feiten Tuning System round out the hardware package.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectronics are classic Anderson versatility: SF1 single coils in the neck and middle with an HC2+ humbucker at the bridge. The 5-way switching is supplemented by Anderson’s splitter configuration, including the neck-and-bridge combination, giving this Drop Top access to traditional single-coil textures, fuller humbucker sounds and combinations you wouldn’t normally find on a conventional S-style guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 08-01-26P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7lbs 4oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tom Anderson Drop Top\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anderson Custom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional 25.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop \/ Body Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Figured Mango Top on Alder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beautiful High Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Shaded Edge with Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Back Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Back\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ziricote\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Fret Markers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard, Centered\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide Fret Markers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard, Black or Cream\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReverse Headstock:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Logo:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard, Black or Cream\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Back Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satin Natural\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Even-Taper (.810\" to .870\", 1st to 12th fret)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 11\/16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel Jumbo (.057\" × .110\")\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\" to 14\" Compound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buzz Feiten Tuning System\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Tremolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Locking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Strap Buttons:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Rear Buttons (Anderson Standard)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e SF1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiddle Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e SF1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e HC2+ (Open Face Black Cover)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitching:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-Way: 3 = M, N+B with Splitter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnob Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Same as Hardware Color (Chrome)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Rings:\u003c\/strong\u003e No Rings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–46 D’Addario XS Coated Strings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardshell Case\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tom Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52375316103464,"sku":"VB1044x","price":7685.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/0451\/8696\/files\/1_a87e4ef1-d0aa-49b1-a186-f5f474bd6380.jpg?v=1789224567","url":"https:\/\/thevibratobar.com\/products\/tom-anderson-drop-top-figured-mango-special-selection-top","provider":"The Vibrato Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
