The Tom Anderson Drop Top Classic - Red Surf is a stunning example of high-end craftsmanship, delivering boutique tone, luxurious playability, and head-turning looks in one extraordinary instrument. Dressed in a vibrant Red Surf finish, the highly figured Quilt Maple top glows with depth and movement, creating a striking visual against the classic body contours. Beneath the figured top lies a resonant Alder body, chosen for its balanced tonal character — providing the punchy lows, sweet mids, and sparkling highs that make this guitar as versatile as it is beautiful.

The neck is crafted from Caramel Maple, paired with a Rosewood fingerboard that adds warmth and smoothness to the overall tone. Designed for serious players, the neck features Tom Anderson’s refined Even Taper +.030" back shape, offering a comfortable and fast feel with just a bit more mass for sustain and substance. The 25 1/2" scale length brings familiar snap and clarity, while the slightly narrower 1 5/8" nut width allows for fluid chord work and lightning-fast runs. Stainless Steel Heavy frets give players a smooth, glassy feel and long-lasting performance, ideal for demanding studio and stage use.

The guitar’s aesthetic is rounded out with a Natural Satin headstock and Natural Satin back, which subtly showcase the wood grain while offering a sleek, non-gloss feel that’s comfortable against the body and neck. A classic Tortoise Shell pickguard adds a vintage-inspired accent that contrasts beautifully with the Red Surf finish, making the guitar look as timeless as it sounds.

Under the hood, the Drop Top Classic is loaded with an incredibly versatile SC1, SC1, HC2 pickup configuration, offering a full range of tones from chimey single-coil clarity to rich, aggressive humbucker power. The 5-way switching includes a custom-wired position 3 (middle pickup solo or neck + bridge with splitter) for added tonal flexibility — giving you sounds you won’t find on a standard S-style guitar. Whether you're covering funk, blues, fusion, or modern rock, this guitar adapts to your style with ease and sophistication.

High-performance Chrome hardware complements the modern aesthetic while providing durability and reliability. The Vintage Tremolo bridge delivers smooth, expressive pitch control without sacrificing tuning stability — especially in tandem with the locking tuners. Strung with .010–.046 Elixir strings, the Drop Top Classic is built to last, stay in tune, and feel consistently fresh across countless sessions and gigs.

Shipped in a premium hard case, the Tom Anderson Drop Top Classic - Red Surf is not just a showpiece, but a pro-grade tool that meets the demands of the most discerning players. It's a guitar that looks as bold as it sounds and plays as effortlessly as it inspires.
