Tom Anderson T Classic Shorty - Metallic Pavo Purple #08-29-26P

The Tom Anderson T Classic Shorty in Metallic Pavo Purple brings the unmistakable character of a T-style guitar into a more compact and highly responsive format. Built as an Anderson Custom model, it features a solid, contoured Primavera body finished in a beautiful high-gloss Metallic Pavo Purple, with the same finish carried across the body back and matching headstock. Black hardware, a Pearl Black pickguard, and a black headstock logo create a sophisticated contrast against the vivid metallic finish, giving the guitar a refined presence with plenty of visual personality.

The Shorty 24 3/4-inch scale length pairs beautifully with a Caramel Maple neck, offering a comfortable and expressive playing experience. Its Even-Taper neck shape measures .810 to .870 inches from the 1st to the 12th fret, with a 1 11/16-inch nut width and a 12 to 14-inch compound fingerboard radius. Stainless steel Tall-Thin frets provide a smooth, precise feel, while black pearl block inlays on the front and Luminlay side markers offer elegant visual detail and excellent visibility on darker stages. The satin natural neck finish keeps the back feeling smooth and comfortable under the hand.

Tonally, the T Classic Shorty features a TV1 neck pickup with a Raw Nickel cover and a TV3 bridge pickup, controlled through a straightforward T-Plate 3-way switching system. A fixed bridge and locking tuners provide a stable foundation for confident playing, while the Buzz Feiten Tuning System adds another layer of precision to the instrument's setup. Finished with D'Addario XS Coated 10-46 strings, the guitar arrives ready to deliver articulate, responsive T-style tones with a focused and unmistakably Anderson character.

At 6 lbs 11 oz, the T Classic Shorty offers a remarkably comfortable combination of compact scale, balanced weight, and professional-grade construction. Its Metallic Pavo Purple finish, Caramel Maple neck, stainless steel frets, black appointments, and carefully selected electronics make it an instrument that feels equally at home in the studio or under the lights. Supplied in an Anderson Premium Logo Gig Bag, this T Classic Shorty is a beautifully detailed guitar designed for players who value feel, precision, individuality, and effortless musical expression.
