The Tom Anderson Top T Contoured – Transparent Dark Olive is a premium, boutique-level instrument that represents the pinnacle of modern guitar craftsmanship. Built for discerning players who crave both aesthetic excellence and high-performance features, this guitar effortlessly blends vintage soul with modern innovation. The stunning Transparent Dark Olive finish reveals the gorgeous figuring of the quilt maple top, giving this guitar an undeniably upscale look, while its contoured body design offers ergonomic comfort suited for long playing sessions on stage or in the studio.

The body construction begins with a rich, resonant mahogany base, topped with a highly figured quilt maple top, combining warmth and depth with shimmering high-end clarity. This tonewood pairing gives the Top T Contoured a full, harmonically rich voice that's both articulate and powerful. Finished in a high-gloss lacquer, the Transparent Dark Olive color not only highlights the striking wood grain but also adds a sleek, luxurious sheen. The solid contours enhance playing comfort, making this guitar feel as good as it looks.

The neck is crafted from chocolate maple, offering enhanced stability and tonal brightness, and features a rosewood fingerboard adorned with standard center dot inlays. The satin natural finish on the neck back and headstock ensures a smooth, non-sticky feel, perfect for fast movement and expressive playing. The Happy Medium neck profile (.825” to .915” from the 1st to 12th fret) strikes a perfect balance—substantial enough for grip and sustain, yet slim enough for speed and comfort. Coupled with medium-jumbo stainless steel frets and a 1 11/16" nut width, the Top T offers fluid playability across the entire 25.5" scale length.

Under the hood, this guitar is a tonal powerhouse. Equipped with a versatile pair of Tom Anderson humbuckers—the HC1 in the neck and HC2 in the bridge—you get everything from warm, rounded cleans to tight, aggressive high-gain tones. These pickups are wired to a 5-way switching system specially designed for dual humbuckers, offering a wide tonal palette. Position 3 offers a classic series humbucker tone, while other positions access coil-split combinations for added clarity and chime—making this guitar capable of covering everything from vintage blues to modern rock and beyond.

In terms of hardware, the Top T Contoured pulls no punches. The sunken locking tremolo system paired with a locking nut offers exceptional tuning stability even with aggressive tremolo use—ideal for players who demand precision and control. The gold hardware not only enhances the visual appeal but also reinforces the boutique, high-end nature of the instrument. Locking tuners make string changes a breeze and maintain reliable tuning, while the guitar’s dual rear strap buttons (Anderson standard) ensure stability and comfort whether sitting or standing.

This guitar ships with .010–.046 gauge strings and includes a Tom Anderson logo gig bag, providing protection and portability for the professional on the move.

With its breathtaking looks, luxurious feel, and extraordinary tonal flexibility, the Tom Anderson Top T Contoured – Transparent Dark Olive is more than just a guitar—it’s an instrument built to inspire. Whether you’re a touring professional, a session player, or a serious tone enthusiast, this guitar offers the playability, versatility, and elegance that define the Tom Anderson legacy.
