Tom Anderson Classic Shorty - Translucent Butterscotch with Gigbag

The Classic Shorty: A Timeless Build with Short-Scale Feel

Premium Tonewoods and Finish for Sophisticated Sound

The Tom Anderson Classic Shorty in Translucent Butterscotch is a visually striking, sonically exceptional electric guitar with a resonant voice to boot. Its body is crafted from limba, a tonewood known for its rich midrange and harmonic complexity, and delivers a warmth and clarity that shines in a variety of musical styles.

Comfortable Short Scale Playability

Designed with Tom Anderson’s “Shorty” 24 3/4-inch scale length, this guitar offers a more relaxed string tension and a slinkier feel under the fingers. The Happy Medium neck provides a balanced, and comfortable contour that fills the palm of the hand nicely without ever feeling too big.

Impeccable Hardware and Electronics

Equipped with a PH1 pickup in the neck and a HC2 in the bridge, the Classic Shorty covers a massive tonal range. The 5-way switching system allows for series and split voicings, bringing out thick, full-bodied humbucker growl or precise, chimey single-coil textures with ease. Chrome hardware complements the guitar’s sleek aesthetic, and the fixed bridge ensures rock-solid tuning stability and sustained resonance. The PH1 gives you plenty of fundamental when playing single notes and breaks up super pleasantly as you dig in, great for Blues, Rock, Jazz and everything in between. The HC2 is the perfect blend of clarity when you want it and growl when you need it. 

Precision Craftsmanship and Playability

Every detail of this guitar is executed with precision. From the signature wedge neck pocket to the immaculate fretwork, this instrument offers unmatched intonation and effortless playability. The result is a guitar that feels like an extension of your hands, responsive, expressive, and intuitive. Fit and finish are absolutely flawless.
