Tom Anderson Drop Top Natural Autumn Surf
Tom Anderson Drop Top Autumn Surf
Serial Number: 01-27-26P
Weight: 7.02 lbs.
The Tom Anderson Drop Top in Natural Autumn Surf is California boutique guitar building at its absolute peak, pairing a gorgeous flame maple top with a lightweight swamp ash body — just 7.02 lbs. — in a beautiful high-gloss finish with matching back and a classy scraped top binding. Anderson's Drop Top has long been the benchmark for modern S-style guitars, and this example shows exactly why: flawless woodwork, stunning figure, and the kind of attention to detail that has made Tom Anderson Guitarworks one of the most respected names in high-end electric guitars.
The caramel maple neck features Anderson's comfortable Even-Taper profile (.810" at the 1st fret, .870" at the 12th) with a satin finish for fast, friction-free playability. A rosewood fretboard with a player-friendly 12"–14" compound radius, 22 jumbo frets, 25.5" scale length, and 1 5/8" nut width makes this Drop Top equally at home with vintage-style chording and modern lead work, while the Buzz Feiten Tuning System delivers noticeably sweeter intonation across the entire fretboard. The blocked recessed tremolo (Baby Floyd) and Anderson locking tuners in chrome keep everything rock solid, whether you're digging in or leaning on the bar.
Tonally, this Drop Top is a Swiss Army knife of premium sounds thanks to its HSH configuration of Tom Anderson pickups — an HF1+ humbucker in the neck, SC2 single-coil in the middle, and HF3+ humbucker in the bridge — controlled by a volume, tone, and 5-way switch with splitter (position 3 = middle, plus neck+bridge combinations) for glassy single-coil sparkle, fat humbucker punch, and everything in between. Whether you're a session player, a working pro, or a collector of boutique electric guitars, this Tom Anderson Drop Top Natural Autumn Surf (Serial #01-27-26P) ships in its original hardshell case.
