The Tom Anderson Direwolf is a masterfully crafted expression of modern performance, refined elegance, and uncompromising precision. Finished in a breathtaking high gloss Sparkle Silver to Starry Night Black burst that flows seamlessly across both the front and back of the body, this Anderson Custom captures attention from every angle. Without a pickguard to interrupt the lines of the design, the shimmering finish becomes the centerpiece, complemented by black hardware, open face raw nickel covered humbuckers, and luminous white pearl block inlays that bring timeless sophistication to its contemporary aesthetic.

At its foundation is a resonant solid Okoume body paired with a traditional 25 1/2 inch scale length, creating a voice that is warm, articulate, and exceptionally responsive. The Chocolate Maple neck is carved to Tom Anderson's Even Taper +.030 profile, measuring .840 inches at the first fret and .910 inches at the twelfth, offering a confident and comfortable feel that effortlessly supports both intricate lead work and commanding rhythm playing. A satin natural finish on the neck and headstock allows the hand to glide freely while highlighting the beauty of the wood, accented by a silver Anderson logo and a rosewood fingerboard adorned with elegant white pearl block inlays.

Built for players who demand flawless performance, the fingerboard features a compound 12 to 14 inch radius and jumbo stainless steel frets measuring .057 by .110 inches. The result is a playing surface that feels equally at home with expressive chord work, fluid legato passages, and effortless string bends. The 1 11/16 inch nut width provides familiar comfort, while the Buzz Feiten Tuning System enhances intonation and tuning accuracy across the entire neck, delivering remarkable consistency in every register.

The electronics offer extraordinary tonal versatility through an HSS inspired HSH configuration consisting of an HC1 neck humbucker with an open face raw nickel cover, an SC1 middle single coil with a black cover, and a powerful HC2+ bridge humbucker with an open face raw nickel cover. Controlled by a versatile five way switching system featuring dedicated middle pickup operation in position three and a unique neck and bridge combination with splitter, this Direwolf moves effortlessly from shimmering cleans and articulate single coil textures to rich humbucking warmth and soaring high gain authority.

A sunken locking tremolo with locking nut and locking tuners provides exceptional tuning stability while encouraging expressive vibrato techniques with complete confidence. Black control knobs and a matching black switch tip reinforce the instrument's sleek appearance, while the absence of pickup rings preserves its clean and uninterrupted visual character.

Strung from the factory with D'Addario XS coated 10 through 46 strings, this Direwolf arrives ready for the stage, studio, or collection. Weighing a comfortable 7 pounds 11 ounces, it offers an ideal balance of resonance and playing comfort. An Anderson Premium Logo Gig Bag is included, providing premium protection worthy of an instrument of this caliber.

Combining world class craftsmanship, stunning visual artistry, and the unmistakable playability for which Tom Anderson is renowned, this custom Direwolf is an inspiring instrument that rewards every touch with remarkable tone, effortless precision, and enduring beauty.
