An exceptionally rare Tom Anderson Drop Top, featuring a breathtaking Koa top personally hand selected by The Vibrato Bar. With Koa no longer offered on Tom Anderson's current menu, builds like this have become incredibly difficult to come by, making this guitar something truly special.
And just look at that top! The Koa is absolutely spectacular, with dramatic figuring, intricate grain patterns, and a gorgeous mixture of golden amber, rich honey, and deep reddish brown tones. The Honey Shaded Edge finish beautifully accentuates the natural figuring, while the contrasting binding frames the entire top. We personally selected this piece of Koa for its extraordinary character, and the finished result is simply stunning.
The Alder body is paired with a Chocolate Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard, featuring Anderson's comfortable Even Taper profile, 12" to 14" compound radius, and stainless steel jumbo frets. An SF1, SF1, and H2+ pickup configuration delivers exceptional versatility, complemented by five way switching with a splitter, vintage tremolo, locking tuners, and the Buzz Feiten Tuning System.
At just 7lbs 3oz, this is an extraordinary Anderson Custom build. With a hand selected Koa top of this caliber and the wood no longer available on the menu, finding another quite like it would be incredibly difficult.
