Tom Anderson The Classic "S", 60's Vibe Caramel Rosewood Neck,VA7 VA7R VA7+, Sonic Blue Gloss, W/Anderson Gig Bag
The "S" Family: Ultimate Anderson performance
The Classic - the most profound, best playing and best sounding vintage double cut-away. We took the vintage "S" of your dreams and improved it.
When something remains as an unrealized dream for long enough it becomes a fantasy. A fantasy is the belief that there is no such thing in the real world. This is a mindset that surrounds the legend of the "vintage guitar." That it is unobtainable. That you cannot have a vintage instrument that will play like lightning, sing like angels and be reasonably priced. But when we look deeply, we see that this is a mistaken perception and once perception is corrected, bliss returns. Bliss is restored to the musical world in the form of: The Classic.
The Classic is the vintage guitar of your wildest dreams, and beyond, the one you always knew should exist but you were unable to touch in physical form, until now.
For a pure vintage vibe, an Alder body is hand-selected and kiln dried to perfection.
- Alder is the first and most popular choice among players, as an alder body bestows its gifts of full and boosted low-mid frequencies accompanied by predominate upper mid prominence. It is these qualities that bring big single coil tones effortlessly forward in the mix, when paired with the right amp for you. Humbuckers enjoy a lower end bump and slightly less all-middle-only tone.
'60s Vibe Neck Shape
- The defining character of the 60’s Vibe neck is an increase in depth as your hand moves from 1st to 12 fret. With an early 60’s style taper, it is considered a medium-depth neck at the first few frets and becomes a substantial neck when you grab a handful in the upper regions of the fretboard.
60's Vibe Specs: .835-inch at the first fret to .960 at the 12th fret
VA Series Pickups
