Tom Anderson Guitarworks is an American high-end guitar brand renowned for its supreme quality.
It is known for being favored by numerous artists, including Neal Schon, Richie Sambora, Michael Landau, Koichi Yahori, and DAITA.
Owner Tom Anderson previously worked as a professional guitarist, continuously pursuing better sound and playability throughout his career.
Drawing on this experience, he incorporates numerous ideas into his designs, using the finest woods and combining technology with craftsmanship to meticulously handcraft each instrument.
For playability, the guitars feature an exquisite neck grip and low-action setup, prioritizing player comfort for a stress-free playing experience.
Furthermore, the neck exhibits minimal warping, and the use of low-wear stainless steel frets ensures consistently excellent playability over the long term.
The sound boasts a familiar tone that complements various musical styles while offering a rich variety of sounds.
This makes a single guitar capable of handling live performances, recording sessions, and more, regardless of genre or setting.
Because Tom Anderson himself was a player, his guitars are always crafted from a guitarist's perspective, making them the ultimate instrument designed specifically for guitarists.
This model is the flagship Hollow Classic.
Based on the classic design of the Stratocaster, it incorporates Tom Anderson's innovative ideas and adds the rich sound of a hollow body construction.
The body top is made of Swamp Ash.
Its Translucent White finish, combined with gold-matched hardware on the headstock and a tortoiseshell pickguard, creates a beautiful aesthetic.
The neck is crafted from Hard Rock Maple.
It features a 1 11/16 inch nut width and a long scale length.
Pickup configuration: SA1R in the Neck position, SA1 in the Middle position, and H2+ in the Bridge position.
Tom Anderson pickups are originals, meticulously crafted in-house using machines built in the 1950s.
The SA1R and SA1 are stacked pickups offering output comparable to vintage single-coils.
They deliver the characteristic brilliance and crispness of single-coils while being designed for low noise.
The H2+ is a humbucker using ceramic magnets, a popular model offering exceptionally balanced response across the entire frequency range from lows to highs.
This guitar's sound naturally integrates clear highs and thick lows, combining modern sophistication with universal playability.
Controls feature Switcheroo and Blower SW.
Switcheroo allows individual on/off control for each pickup, plus selection of series, split, or parallel output configurations.
This enables all-pickup activation or combinations like Neck+Bridge (Telecaster style), delivering extensive sound variations.
The Blower SW instantly activates the bridge pickup regardless of Switcheroo settings, offering convenient one-touch tone switching.
Experience a truly lifelong companion: a guitar boasting refined beauty, supreme playability, and exceptional tone.
