Tom Anderson Drop Top Shorty Mocha Wake Surf

Tom Anderson Drop Top Shorty Mocha Wake Surf
Serial Number: 07-23-26A 
Weight: 6.86 lbs.

The Tom Anderson Drop Top Shorty in Mocha Wake Surf is a short-scale take on Anderson's most recognizable platform. Flame maple drop top over an alder body, scraped top binding, and a high-gloss Mocha Wake Surf finish with a matching back. At 6.86 lbs. it's light enough to wear all night. Anderson builds to a standard most shops never see — the finish gets the attention, but the fit and the fretwork are why players keep coming back.

The chocolate maple neck uses Anderson's Happy Medium carve (.825" at the 1st fret, .915" at the 12th), bolted on with a satin finish for speed. A rosewood fretboard with clay dot inlays, a 12-14" compound radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and a 1 11/16" Buzz Feiten nut round out the playing surface, with a satin natural headstock and white logo up top. The Shorty designation refers to the 24.75" scale length, shorter than a standard Anderson and slinkier under the fingers. The full Buzz Feiten Tuning System is installed, which is the single biggest reason these guitars play in tune across the whole neck instead of just around the open chords. A vintage tremolo and Anderson locking tuners in gold hardware complete it.

The pickup set is Anderson's own: an HC1 humbucker at the neck and an HC2+ at the bridge, running through a 5-way switch that brings in series and split options. That covers a lot of ground — real humbucker weight when you want it, and split single-coil chime and clarity when you don't. Volume and tone controls keep the front panel simple. Whether you're a session player who needs every tone in one instrument, a gigging guitarist who wants Anderson build quality and intonation you can trust, or a collector who's been waiting for the right finish, this one delivers. This Drop Top Shorty (Serial #07-23-26A) includes a Tom Anderson gigbag. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized Tom Anderson dealer.
