This is a seriously classy Anderson and exactly the sort of spec that makes their guitars so appealing. The Hollow Drop T Classic already gives you that familiar T-style outline, but with a much more refined and high-end feel, and this one looks especially strong with the Tobacco Fade finish, binding and matching back. The quilt top is a real highlight too, that is a big part of the appeal here. On a guitar like this, an amazing quilt top can completely change the feel of it from simply nice to genuinely standout. Spec-wise it is very well judged as well. The swamp ash body and maple neck should keep plenty of snap and clarity, while the rosewood board softens things just enough. I also like the pickup and switching setup, because Anderson always seem to build in a lot of usable versatility without making things feel overcomplicated. Add in the Buzz Feiten system, locking tuners and vintage trem and it ends up being a very smart, very polished player’s guitar with boutique looks and loads of practical appeal.
