WAYS TO PAY:
At the heart of the Drop Top Classic lies a radiant book-matched quilted maple top, meticulously bent over a carefully selected body. This intricate process not only ensures a striking appearance but also creates a comfortable forearm contour, allowing for effortless playability. Since its introduction in 1991, the Drop Top Classic has been hailed as the pinnacle of classic "S" style guitars, setting a new standard in craftsmanship and tone.
The body of the Drop Top Classic features a combination of quilt maple top on basswood, a popular choice known for its rich and full-bodied sound. This pairing offers a wide tonal spectrum, with great low, middle, and high-end response, making it suitable for a variety of musical styles. Additionally, the lightweight construction and transparent finish options further enhance the guitar's visual appeal.
Complementing the exquisite body construction is the caramel maple neck, finished with a satin natural coating for a smooth and comfortable feel. The neck profile, featuring the Even-Taper shape (increased in depth by +.030 for a slightly deeper feel), ensures fast and effortless playability, while the medium-jumbo stainless steel frets provide unmatched durability and playability. These frets offer silky-smooth string bends and precise intonation, making every note feel effortless.
Equipped with Anderson's proprietary SC2 and HC2+ pickups, the Drop Top Classic delivers a versatile range of tones, from classic single-coil shimmer to bold humbucking warmth. The 5-way switching system allows for seamless transitions between pickup configurations, offering a wealth of sonic possibilities for players of all styles. The middle position can either be an S style option or a T/LP neck and bridge combo option, thanks to the splitter switching.
Furthermore, the inclusion of Elixir strings ensures extended tone life and consistent performance, while the Buzz Feiten Tuning System enhances overall tuning stability and accuracy. This innovative system, introduced by Anderson in 1996, ensures that chords sound more in tune with each other, providing a harmonious playing experience akin to a well-tuned piano.
In essence, the Drop Top Classic guitar by Anderson embodies the perfect union of timeless elegance and modern innovation. With its exquisite design, versatile tone, and unparalleled craftsmanship, it remains a coveted instrument for musicians seeking the pinnacle of classic guitar excellence.
