Tom Anderson Pro Am Shorty - Candy Apple Orange with Hard Shell Case

The Pro Am Shorty: A Hot-Rodded Classic with Premium Playability

High-performance short scale electric guitar

The Tom Anderson Pro Am Shorty in Candy Apple Orange is a precision-built powerhouse that fuses hot-rodded tone with boutique craftsmanship. Built for discerning players, this guitar makes quite the impression both visually and tonally. This Shorty brings bold style and versatile sound into a sleek, professional-grade package.

Premium materials and superior construction

We chose a basswood body for its balanced and flat tonal response. The caramel maple neck features a blackheart fingerboard, offering smooth navigation across the entire neck. Combined with the Even-Taper +.030 neck carve, which fills the palm of the hand nicely without ever feeling too big.

Tonal versatility and hum-free performance

Equipped with Tom Anderson’s H1 and H3 pickups, this guitar spans from clean and articulate to full-throttle distortion without breaking a sweat. The 5-way switching setup gives you series and split coil options, unlocking a wide palette of humbucker and single-coil-inspired textures. Whether you're pushing an amp into saturation or dialing back for clean clarity, the Pro Am Shorty remains tight, focused, and inspiring. Chords have plenty of meat to them and ring out with aplomb. Single notes have abundant weight and ring out nicely all up and down the neck. 

Boutique features and studio-ready tuning stability

Every detail of this instrument is geared toward high-level performance. The Buzz Feiten tuning system ensures even the tightest chord clusters play in tune all the way up the neck, the Pro Am Shorty stays in tune and responds with nuance. The wedge neck pocket gives you unparalleled access to the upper register of the guitar, and makes your playing more fluid than ever.

Built for players who demand more

This is not your average short-scale guitar. The Pro Am Shorty is engineered to play fast, feel great, and sound huge, all while maintaining that signature Tom Anderson polish. Whether you're recording, performing, or just jamming at home, this instrument is built to elevate every note you play. Fit and finish are absolutely flawless.
