Tom Anderson Classic S - Dakota Red with Hard Shell Case
The Tom Anderson Classic S: Vintage Elegance Meets Modern Performance
A Vintage-Inspired Dream Guitar
The Tom Anderson Classic S in Dakota Red is the perfect blend of vintage style and cutting-edge innovation. Designed to bring the spirit of legendary vintage guitars into the modern era, the Classic S offers superior playability, rich tone, and timeless aesthetics. Its alder body, finished in a stunning high-gloss Dakota Red, delivers balanced tonal characteristics that enhance every note, making it a true standout for any player.
Revolutionary A-Wedgie Neck Joint and Slim Neck Profile
At the core of the Classic S's playability is the revolutionary A-Wedgie neck joint, an Anderson-exclusive design that ensures an unparalleled connection between the neck and body. This 3-dimensional trapezoidal wedge eliminates the need for traditional neck bolts, providing superior sustain and stability. The Even-Taper +.030 neck profile, crafted from caramel maple, offers a slim, fast feel with measurements of .840" at the first fret and .900" at the 12th fret, making it perfect for intricate playing.
Premium Pickups for Versatile Tonal Options
The Classic S is equipped with Tom Anderson's SC1 and H2 pickups for a broad tonal palette. The SC1 pickups at the neck and middle positions deliver hum-canceling, slightly hotter-than-vintage single-coil tones. The H2 bridge pickup adds medium-hot output with impressive clarity and low-end thump, making it ideal for both clean and overdriven sounds. The 5-way switch, paired with advanced splitting capabilities, allows seamless access to a variety of tones for any musical genre.
Buzz Feiten Tuning System for Superior Intonation
The Buzz Feiten Tuning System enhances the Classic S's tuning accuracy, ensuring that chords sound perfectly in tune across the fretboard. This innovative system offers a subtle yet profound improvement to intonation, giving you a more precise and harmonious playing experience.
