Tom Anderson Guitarworks is an American high-end guitar brand boasting the highest quality.
Known as a favorite of many artists, including Neal Schon, Richie Sambora, Michael Landau, Koichi Yabori, and DAITA, (names omitted).
Owner Tom Anderson, a former professional guitarist, has continually pursued better sound and playability throughout his career.
Based on that experience, he incorporates many of his ideas, using the finest woods and combining technology and craftsmanship to meticulously craft each guitar.
By limiting production numbers, we have achieved unparalleled quality through flawless quality control tailored to each individual guitar.
In terms of playability, the exquisite neck grip and low-action setting provide stress-free playability and comfort.
Neck warping is extremely minimal, and stainless steel frets, which are resistant to wear, ensure consistently excellent playability over the long term.
The guitar boasts a wide range of tonal variations, while possessing a familiar tone that suits a variety of musical styles.
This allows you to use just one guitar for live performances, recordings, and any genre or occasion.
As a former player himself, Tom Anderson guitars are always crafted with the guitarist in mind, making them truly the ultimate instruments made for guitarists.
This model is his signature Drop Top Classic.
The Drop Top Classic features a curved top that extends to the edges of the body and is attached in a sloping manner, giving it a highly three-dimensional, luxurious look and excellent playability.
Although the style is modern, the inclusion of a pickguard gives it a somewhat traditional look.
The body top is made of quilted maple and the back is made of basswood.
The clear resonance and attack of the maple are combined with the fatness of basswood to create a rich, balanced tone.
This combination has also been referred to as the holy grail of sound by John Suhr, the representative of global high-end guitar brands.
The color is a sophisticated Cajun Red, a deep, subdued red that accentuates the beauty of the wood grain.
The binding on the body and the pearlescent pickguard combine to create a beautiful look that changes appearance depending on the angle you view it from.
The neck is made of hard maple and the fingerboard is made of rosewood.
The neck grip is the most popular Even-Taper, the nut width is 1 11/16 inches, and the scale is long.
The fingerboard features a conical fingerboard shape, with a flatter radius from the low frets to the high frets.
The slight change of radius, from 12 to 14 inches, provides smooth playability in any position and achieves improved sustain despite the low action.
The neck joint uses Tom Anderson's original A-Wedge.
It is a bolt-on structure using two screws, but the trapezoidal shape of the body and neck increases the contact area, significantly reducing the possibility of misalignment.
The wider footprint also affects the sound.
The neck joint has a smooth heelless finish, improving playability in the upper registers.
The slightly curved conical fingerboard and unique joints are testament to the exquisite craftsmanship required for exceptional skill.
The frets are Tom Anderson's original stainless steel frets.
The fret size is Heavy, positioned between Jumbo and Medium-Jumbo.
They are characterized by their high durability and smooth touch, and despite being stainless steel, are said to have acoustic characteristics very similar to those of nickel frets.
The pickups are an SA1R in the neck position, an SA1 in the middle position, and an H2+ in the bridge position.
All Tom Anderson pickups are originals, carefully manufactured in-house using machines produced in the 1950s.
The SA1R and SA1 are stacked pickups with output similar to that of vintage single-coil pickups.
They are designed to be low noise while retaining the brightness and crispness unique to single-coil pickups.
The H2+ is a popular model featuring a ceramic magnet humbucker pickup, boasting excellent balance from low to high frequencies.
This model's sound naturally blends clear highs and thick lows, combining modern sophistication with timeless ease of use.
Controls include a Switcheroo and Blower SW.
The Switcheroo allows you to turn each pickup on and off individually, and you can also choose to output them in series, split, or parallel.
This allows for a wide range of sound variations, such as turning all pickups on or creating a Telecaster-style neck and bridge combination.
The Blower SW instantly engages the Bridge position, regardless of the Switcheroo setting, allowing you to conveniently change tones with just one touch.
The bridge is a Sunken Floyd Rose Locking Tremolo.
This allows for dynamic arm movements while minimizing tuning drift.
Vibrato applied with the left hand adds a different nuance to the tone, ranging from delicate to passionate, further expanding the range of expression.
The tuning machines are locking.
The locking nut does not affect performance, but it also simplifies string changes and reduces string twist, a drawback of locking tremolos.
This is the ultimate high-end guitar, uncompromising in every respect.
With its sophisticated looks, superior playability, and superb tone, this is a guitar you can cherish for a lifetime.
This instrument undergoes rigorous inspection by TONIQ craftsmen before delivery.
