original manufacturers description:

Oh yes, this is the guitar that started it all!

Before Drop Top, the number of S-style guitars that had a maple top that was "dropped" or swooped over the top to create a comfortable forearm contour was exactly...0.

But with the introduction of the magnificent Drop Top in 1990, all changed and the "S" instrument could now have its full contours, be a thing of astounding beauty and have ample amounts of tone wood backing its exotic wood top to sound rich and spectacular.

Over the years we have come to unlock even greater secrets of tone for the Drop Top and it is truly more spectacular than it has ever been. Now we offer Drop Top with 4 different choices of tone-wood back—all of which are so impressive that all of your non-Anderson playing friends will not only stare at you in envy constantly but will want to play it every chance they get-—which is every time you are magnanimous enough to let them.

Drop Top features a beautiful piece of book matched flame or quilted maple, koa or walnut that is actually bent (or "dropped") over a tonewood body-back to create the same comfortable forearm contour of our other models.

As a result of this design, we have chosen a body top thickness of 3/16 of an inch, which actually enhances and richens the sonic character of the instrument. The result is a guitar that not only plays effortlessly, is extremely comfortable, and sounds amazing but is so darn good looking that if you don't dress well it just may upstage you.

Today, along with your choice of flame or quilted maple, walnut or koa top, Drop Top now offers four choices of body-backing tone-wood to bring the sonic character you desire from your "S" to bear on the bandstand. Alder back: our most popular backing wood, its lower-mid fullness and upper-mid bump give a familiar "S" timbre that supports the lower-end fullness of single coil pickups and humbucks alike while its upper-mid penetration makes sure other instruments are unable to step into your spot on stage. Mahogany back: focused and aggressive mids bring humbuckers roaring to life and offer an overall powerful experience-—a very popular choice. Swamp Ash back: Deep low-lows and softly sparkling highs with an open, scooped middle make for a breathtakingly musical presentation of subtile nuances. And the added bonus is that the maple top actually presents this quintessential Swamp Ash tone with a bit more authority, so it can easily be utilized and appreciated in more diverse gigging environments. Basswood back: You can never go wrong with this wood if it is done the way it should be done—and believe me, we do it the way it should be done. The sound of an 80s-vibe humbucker is defined by this body wood—soft (not hard), full flowing focused mids make everything this wood touches bloom with rich, lush, even-balanced midrange tonality.

When flying through the changes or manipulating just a few soulful notes, it is nice to have a neck that has been designed to do just that—play like butter and support every move you make with nearly effortless response, so all that you are playing flows seamlessly.

To facilitate this fingerboard bliss that is just right for you, we offer a wide range of extremely comfortable neck backshapes and fret combinations.
