USED Tom Anderson / Drop Top Classic Cherry Burst with Binding [03]

Tom Anderson's classic model "Drop Top Classic" made in 1998 is now in stock in used condition!
This is a 4-point bolt period piece, which has become rare nowadays.

Body, neck, and fingerboard
Figured maple top with quilted maple grain, basswood body, hard rock maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard.
The standard Even-Taper neck shape and 1 5/8" nut width are used.

Equipped with the well-known "Buzz Fayton Tuning System" for outstanding tuning accuracy and sound isolation.

Pickups
SD1R SD1 H3+ pickups are installed.

Controls
A "switcheroo" is used on this model, and a 3-point mini-switch is installed for each pickup, and each pickup is controlled by a 3-point mini-switch.

1) Series (= in series)
2) Off
3) Parallel (= parallel) or coil tap

This allows you to use all combinations of pickups. Parallel or coil-tapped can be selected individually with the switch in the back panel.

You can make your own combination here, but when it comes time for a guitar solo, you can call up the "Tone Full Open Rear Humbucker" with one shot, and with the "Blower Switch" that allows you to return to the previous setting with one shot, you can use it live with peace of mind.

Condition
There are many parts that have been replaced or modified as follows.

The paint on the back of the neck has been changed from a satin finish to an oil finish.
The bridge has been changed from a Sunken Floyd Rose to a Gotoh bridge.
Refretting has been done.
The strap pins have been replaced with locking pins. The strap is missing.
The pickguard has been replaced. The original white pearloid pickguard is included.
Two pickguard screws are attached with nickel screws.
Both Vol and Tone pots have been replaced with CTS pots.

There are paint cracks at the neck joint, rust on the PU pole piece, and many scratches, dings, and paint chips scattered throughout the body, showing signs of use commensurate with its age.

The neck condition is almost as straight as possible, as if to say, "That's Tom Anderson! The neck is in a near straight condition, and the strings are almost parallel to the fingerboard from the nut side to the bridge side.
The neck has been fully adjusted and fretted at our repair center when it arrived, so you can use it with no worries.
